+Abbreviation: ã|\sfsã%

+Parameters: ã|catalog name, user's reference, leadingã%
+
+ ã|Description:ã%
+For a typical document, you will need both a font set and a math set.
+The default font set selections consist of two sets for composing printers:
+\twelvept for the 12 point size Computer Modern serif typestyle; and \tenpt
+for the 10 point Computer Modern serif typestyle. Typically, the \select-
+fontset markup is placed in the front of your document. The format of this
+markup is
+
+\selectfontset{catalog name}{user's reference name}{leading between lines}
+
+where catalog name is the system name for that font set. (Complete lists
+of the catalog names can be found by going to the TEXT1 help menu, or by
+looking in the Font Catalogs.) The user's reference is a name of your own
+devising. This name, when prefaced with a backslash will give you access to
+that font set. The leading is the interlineskip specification.
+ Users of typewriter printers use different \selectfontset markup, which
+offers "standard", "underscore" (for italic), and "bold" monospaced faces.
+These are the only fonts available to such printers.
+ Each font set includes the following nine faces, each of which is called
+by adding a backslash in front of the name, or using the abbreviation:
+\roman (\rm), \bold (\bd), \italic (\it), \typewriter (\tt), \caps (\cc),
+\mathitalic (\mi), \symbol (\sy), \extension (\ex), and \bolditalic (\bi).
+Not all font sets have all nine faces available. If a particular face is
+not available, a warning message will be printed.
+
+ ã|Example:ã%
+After entering the \selectfontset,
+
+\selectfontset{cm11}{eleven}{default}
+\eleven
+
+each time \eleven is specified, you would be using the Computer Modern font
+set at a 11 point size (cm11). The third parameter ("default") indicates
+that TEXT1 will use the default value for \interlineskip, in this case 13
+points. Then, whenever you switch to bold (\bd) you would get Computer
+Modern bold at a 11 point size. If you were to specify \it you would get
+Computer Modern italic at 11 points.
+
+ ã|Example:ã%
+Consider this example for switching from 9 point to a 8 point size.
+The \eightpoint is set with \interlineskip{9pt} instead of the default
+\interlineskip{10pt}, leaving less space between lines.
+
+\selectfontset{cm9}{ninepoint}{default}
+\selectfontset{cm8}{eightpoint}{9pt}

+Again, not all font sets have all nine faces available. If a particular
+face is not available, a warning message will be printed.
