% This is a font sampler for the LaTeX distribution. Most of the fonts
% shown here are either installed by default or can be downloaded from
% the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN: www.ctan.org). It omits
% a few of the experimental CM-based fonts like cmff.
%
% Some of the fonts needed considerable massaging to make them work
% with LaTeX. This was surprising and disappointing, especially when
% the authors of a font package claimed it already worked with LaTeX,
% but the materials as distributed from CTAN did not perform as
% expected. In particular, Metafont fonts which were originally done
% for use with plain TeX needed font_size 10pt#; adding to the
% mode_setup, for example with the Backgammon font; and numerous .fd 
% files needed rewriting or creating, especially for the free fonts 
% from the X Consortium members. Some of these problems have now been
% fixed: see how you get on.

GNU Copyleft \textcopyleft\ 2003 Silmaril Consultants. You may freely
copy this document but you may not prevent others from doing
likewise. It is not possible, in a sampler this size, to show every
possible variant of every typeface. In addition to those shown here
there are all the standard italic and bold forms for most of the
fonts, and a number of experimental \mf\ fonts as well, whose
discovery is left as an exercise to the reader. Hebrew, Greek,
Cyrillic, Arabic, Coptic, 
Devanagari, Japanese, and many others have been omitted because I
lack sufficient information on how to include them in a document
which uses principally Latin character encodings. I would be
interested to hear from experts in these areas about how best to
include them. See the source code for further comments. \textsl{PF}.
