There’s a practical reason for this (Knuth never -designed such fonts), but there are typographical considerations too -(the “medium weight” <code>cmtt</code> font is already pretty bold (by -comparison with other fixed-width fonts), and bold small-caps is not -popular with many professional typographers). -<p/>There’s a set of “extra” Metafont files on CTAN that provide bold -versions of both <code>cmtt</code> and <code>cmcsc</code> (the small caps font). With -modern TeX distributions, one may bring these fonts into use simply -by placing them in an -<a href="FAQ-install-where.html">appropriate place in the <em>texmf</em> tree</a> -(these are (La)TeX-specific files, so the “<em>public</em>” supplier -would be an appropriate place). Once you’ve -<a href="FAQ-inst-wlcf.html">rebuilt the file indexes as necessary</a>, -TeX (and friends) will automatically build whatever font files they -need when you first make reference to them. There’s a jiffy package -<i>bold-extra</i> that builds the necessary font data structures -so that you can use the fonts within LaTeX. -<p/>Another alternative is to use the <a href="FAQ-ECfonts.html">EC fonts</a>, -which come with bold variants of the small-caps fonts. -<p/>If you need to use Type 1 fonts, you can’t proceed with Knuth-style -fonts, since there are no Type 1 versions of the <i>mf-extra</i> -set. There are, however, Type 1 distributions of the EC fonts, so you -can switch to EC and use them; alternatives are discussed in -<a href="FAQ-type1T1.html">8-bit Type 1 fonts</a>. -<p/>Of course, commercial fixed-width fonts (even the default -<i>Courier</i>) almost always come with a bold variant, so that’s -not a problem. Furthermore <a href="FAQ-usepsfont.html">PSNFSS</a> -will usually provide “faked” small caps fonts, and has no -compunctions about providing them in a bold form. <i>Courier</i> -is (as we all know, to our cost) freely available; a far more -presentable monospace font is <i>LuxiMono</i>, which is also -freely available (monospace text in the typeset version of this -FAQ uses <i>LuxiMono</i>, with the metrics and LaTeX -support available on the archive. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>bold-extra.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/bold-extra.sty">macros/latex/contrib/misc/bold-extra.sty</a> -<dt><tt><i>bold tt and small caps fonts</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/mf-extra/bold.zip">fonts/cm/mf-extra/bold</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/mf-extra/bold.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/cm/mf-extra/bold/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>LuxiMono fonts</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/LuxiMono.zip">fonts/LuxiMono</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/LuxiMono.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/LuxiMono/">browse</a>) -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=bold-extras">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=bold-extras</a> -</body> |
