+
+Many free fonts are extensions of a basic font family with new glyphs
+or shapes. Sometimes they are given a new name due to license reasons
+or the creators preference.
+
+The `substitutefont` package facilitates the task to set up a font
+family as substitute for another one in a specified font encoding.
+
+Example:
+ Use the `txtt` font family from txfonts_ instead of CM for
+ monospaced text (enables monospaced-bold as well as
+ monospaced-italic)::
+
+ \usepackage{substitutefont}
+ \substitutefont{T1}{txtt}{cmtt}
+
+Source
+ `<substitutefont.sty>`_, `<substitutefont.sty.xhtml>`__
+
+_`Tests`
+ * CB-Fonts for Greek text in a document using Times/Helvetica/Courier:
+ `<test-greek.tex>`__, `<test-greek.pdf>`__
+ * TeX-Gyre with Cyrillic from the once included `Freefonts`:
+ `<test-cyrillic.tex>`__, `<test-cyrillic.pdf>`__
+ * Monospaced text in many variants with txtt:
+ `<test-txtt.tex>`__, `<test-txtt.pdf>`__
