This document describes the new font selection features of the \LaTeX{}
Document Preparation System. It is intended for package writers who
want to write font-loading packages similar to |times| or |latexsym|.

\subsection{\LaTeXe~fonts}
-
+
The most important difference between \LaTeX~2.09 and \LaTeXe{} is the
way that fonts are selected. In \LaTeX~2.09, the Computer Modern fonts
were built into the \LaTeX~format, and so customizing \LaTeX{} to use
other fonts was a major effort.
-
+
In \LaTeXe, very few fonts are built into the format, and there are
commands to load new text and math fonts. Packages such as |times| or
-|latexsym| allow authors to access these fonts.
-This document describes how to write similar font-loading packages.
-
+|latexsym| allow authors to access these fonts. This document describes
+how to write similar font-loading packages.
+
The \LaTeXe{} font selection system was first released as the `New Font
Selection Scheme' (NFSS) in 1989, and then in release~2 in 1993.
\LaTeXe{} includes NFSS release~2 as standard.

The \LaTeX{} font selection scheme is based on \TeX, which is described
by its developer in \emph{The \TeX book}, Donald E.~Knuth, Addison
Wesley, 1986, revised in 1991 to include the features of \TeX~3.

Sebastian Rahtz's |psnfss| software contains the software for using a
large number of Type~1 fonts (including the Adobe Laser Writer 35 and
the Monotype CD-ROM fonts) in \LaTeX. It should be available from the
same source as your copy of \LaTeX.
-
-The |psnfss| software uses fonts generated by Alan Jeffrey's
-|fontinst| software. This can convert fonts from Adobe Font Metric
-format into a format readable by \LaTeX, including the generation of
-the font definition files described in Section~\ref{Sec:install}. The
-|fontinst| software should be available from the same source as your

\begin{description}

\item[encoding] This specifies the order that characters appear in the

- Knuth's `\TeX{} text' encoding, and the `\TeX{} text extended'

- Conference at Cork in~1990 (hence its informal name `Cork encoding').

This section describes the commands available to class and package

\subsection{Math font attributes}

The selection of fonts within math mode is quite different to that of
text fonts.

- |\mathsf| & sans serif & $\mathsf{abcXYZ}$ \\
- |\mathit| & text italic & $\mathit{abcXYZ}$ \\
- |\mathtt| & typewriter & $\mathtt{abcXYZ}$ \\

+ |\mathtt| & typewriter & $\mathtt{abcXYZ}$ \\
+ |\mathcal| & calligraphic & $\mathcal{XYZ}$
+ \end{tabular}
\end{center}
Other math fonts are selected implicitly by \TeX{} for symbols, with
commands such as |\oplus| (producing $\oplus$) or with straight
characters like |>>| or |+|. Fonts containing such math symbols are
-called \emph{math symbol fonts}. The predefined math symbol fonts
-are:

- |letters| & symbols from |\mathnormal| & $<<\star>>$ \\

|\mathnormal| and |letters| are the same font.

Math fonts in \LaTeX{} have the same five attributes as text fonts:
encoding, family, series, shape and size. However, there are no
-commands that allow the attributes to be individually changed.
-Instead, the conversion from math fonts to these five attributes is
-controlled by the \emph{math version}. For example, the |normal| math
-version maps:

The |bold| math version is similar except that it contains bold fonts.
The command |\boldmath| selects the |bold| math version.
-
+
Math versions can only be changed outside of math mode.
-
+
The two predefined math versions are:
\begin{center}
- \begin{tabular}{rl}
- |normal| & the default math version \\
- |bold| & the bold math version
- \end{tabular}
+ \begin{tabular}{rl}
+ |normal| & the default math version \\
+ |bold| & the bold math version
+ \end{tabular}
\end{center}
Packages may define new math alphabets, math symbol fonts, and math
versions. This section describes the commands for writing such
packages.
-
+
\subsection{Selection commands}
-
+
There are no commands for selecting symbol fonts. Instead, these are
selected indirectly through symbol commands like |\oplus|.
Section~\ref{Sec:math.commands} explains how to define symbol commands.
-
+

The newly declared version is initialized with the defaults for all
symbol fonts and math alphabets declared so far (see the commands
|\DeclareSymbolFont| and |\DeclareMathAlphabet|).

If used on an already existing version, an information message is
written to the transcript file and all previous |\SetSymbolFont| or

\subsection{Font definition files}

\NEWdescription{1997/12/01}
The description of how \LaTeX{} font attributes are turned into \TeX{}
fonts is usually kept in a \emph{font definition file} (|.fd|). The
-file for family \m{family} in encoding \m{ENC} must be
-called |<enc><family>.fd|: for example, |ot1cmr.fd| for Computer
-Modern Roman with encoding |OT1| or |t1ptm.fd| for Adobe Times with
-encoding |T1|. Note that encoding names are converted to lowercase
-when used as part of file names.

|\DeclareFontFamily| declaration issued for this encoding/family
-combination. If the |.fd| file could not be found, a warning is
-issued and font substitutions are made.

encoding being used. When using a font encoding that contains the

It is important to understand that commands like |\"a| in \LaTeXe{}
represent just a name for a single glyph (in this case `umlaut a') and
contain no information about how to typeset that glyph---thus it does
-\emph{not} mean `put two dots on top of the character a'. The
-decision as to what typesetting routine to use will depend on the
-encoding of the current font and so this decision is taken at the last
-minute. Indeed, it is possible that the same input will be typeset in
-more than one way in the same document; for example, text in section
-headings may also appear in table of contents and in running heads; and

+\emph{not} mean `put two dots on top of the character a'. The decision
+as to what typesetting routine to use will depend on the encoding of the

+in the same document; for example, text in section headings may also

For this reason the notation |\"a| is \emph{not} equivalent to:
\begin{verbatim}
- \newcommand \chara {a} \"\chara
+ \newcommand \chara {a} \"\chara
\end{verbatim}
In the latter case, \LaTeX{} does not expand the macro |\chara| but
simply compares the notation (the string |\"\chara|) to its list of
-known composite notations in the current encoding; when it fails to
-find |\"\chara| it does the best it can and invokes the typesetting
+known composite notations in the current encoding; when it fails to find
+|\"\chara| it does the best it can and invokes the typesetting
instructions that put the umlaut accent on top of the expansion of
|\chara|. Thus, even if the font actually contains `\"a' as an
individual glyph, it will not be used.

+dependencies that you have to obey:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+ |\DeclareFontFamily| checks that the encoding scheme was previously

+
+\item
+ |\DeclareSymbolFont| checks that the encoding scheme is valid.

+\item
+ |\SetSymbolFont| additionally ensures that the requested math version
+ was declared (|\DeclareMathVersion|) and that the requested symbol
+ font was declared (|\DeclareSymbolFont|).
+
+\item
+ |\DeclareSymbolFontAlphabet| checks that the command name for the
+ alphabet identifier can be used and that the symbol font was declared.
+
+\item
+ |\DeclareMathAlphabet| checks that the chosen command name can be used
+ and that the encoding scheme was declared.
+
+\item
+ |\SetMathAlphabet| checks that the alphabet identifier was previously
+ declared with |\DeclareMathAlphabet| or |\DeclareSymbolFontAlphabet|
+ and that the math version and the encoding scheme are known.

+\item
+ |\DeclareMathSymbol| makes sure that the command name can be used
+ (i.e., is undefined or was previously declared to be a math symbol)
+ and that the symbol font was previously declared.
