\selectfontset{cm12}{twelvept}{14pt}
\selectfontset{cm10}{tenpt}{12pt}
\twelvept
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}

ã|Notes:ã%
Again, not all font sets have all nine faces available. If a particular
face is not available, a warning message will be printed.
