Directives for setting the font normally take +three font names, the first of which is used for normal text, the +second for emphasised text, and the third for code. Any fonts which +aren't specified are left unchanged. Fonts are named using their +PostScript names and must be ones whose metrics are compiled into +Halibut. These are: + +\b \cw{Times-Roman} + +\b \cw{Times-Italic} + +\b \cw{Times-Bold} + +\b \cw{Times-BoldItalic} + +\b \cw{Helvetica} + +\b \cw{Helvetica-Oblique} + +\b \cw{Helvetica-Bold} + +\b \cw{Helvetica-BoldOblique} + +\b \cw{Courier} + +\b \cw{Courier-Oblique} + +\b \cw{Courier-Bold} + +\b \cw{Courier-BoldOblique} + +\ii{Font sizes} are specified in PostScript \i{points} (72 to the inch). + +\dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{paper-title-fonts\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{paper-title-fonts\}\{}\e{normal-font}\cw{\}}[\cw{\{}\e{emph-font}\cw{\}}[\cw{\{}\e{code-font}\cw{\}}]] + +\dd Specifies the fonts to use for text in the document title. + +\dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{paper-title-font-size\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{paper-title-font-size\}\{}\e{points}\cw{\}} + +\dd Specifies the \i{font size} of the document title. + +\dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{paper-chapter-fonts\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{paper-chapter-fonts\}\{}\e{normal-font}\cw{\}}[\cw{\{}\e{emph-font}\cw{\}}[\cw{\{}\e{code-font}\cw{\}}]] + +\dd Specifies the fonts to use for text in chapter titles. + +\dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{paper-chapter-font-size\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{paper-chapter-font-size\}\{}\e{points}\cw{\}} + +\dd Specifies the \i{font size} of chapter titles. + +\dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{paper-section-fonts\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{paper-section-fonts\}\{}\e{level}\cw{\}\{}\e{normal-font}\cw{\}}[\cw{\{}\e{emph-font}\cw{\}}[\cw{\{}\e{code-font}\cw{\}}]] + +\dd Specifies the fonts to use for text in section headings at the \e{level} +specified. + +\dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{paper-section-font-size\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{paper-section-font-size\}\{}\e{level}\cw{\}\{}\e{points}\cw{\}} + +\dd Specifies the \i{font size} of section headings at the \e{level} +specified. + +\dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{paper-base-fonts\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{paper-base-fonts\}\{}\e{normal-font}\cw{\}}[\cw{\{}\e{emph-font}\cw{\}}[\cw{\{}\e{code-font}\cw{\}}]] + +\dd Specifies the fonts to use for text in the body text. + +\dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{paper-base-font-size\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{paper-base-font-size\}\{}\e{points}\cw{\}} + +\dd Specifies the \i{font size} of body text. + +\dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{paper-code-fonts\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{paper-code-fonts\}\{}\e{bold-font}\cw{\}}[\cw{\{}\e{italic-font}\cw{\}}[\cw{\{}\e{normal-font}\cw{\}}]] + +\dd Specifies the fonts to use for text in code paragraps. The +\e{bold-font} is used for bold text, the \e{italic-font} for +emphasised text, and the \e{normal-font} for normal code. + +\dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{paper-code-font-size\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{paper-code-font-size\}\{}\e{points}\cw{\}} + +\dd Specifies the \i{font size} of text in code paragraphs. + +\dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{paper-pagenum-font-size\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{paper-pagenum-font-size\}\{}\e{points}\cw{\}} + +\dd Specifies the font size to use for \i{page numbers}. + +\S2{output-paper-misc} Miscellaneous + +\dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{paper-rule-thickness\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{paper-rule-thickness\}\{}\e{points}\cw{\}} + +\dd Specifies the vertical thickness of the rule produced by the +\cw{\\rule} command (see \k{input-rule}).
