-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label bold-extras</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>How to do bold-tt or bold-sc</h3>
-<p/>LaTeX, as delivered, offers no means of handling bold &ldquo;teletype&rdquo;
-or small-caps fonts. There&rsquo;s a practical reason for this (Knuth never
-designed such fonts), but there are typographical considerations too
-(the &ldquo;medium weight&rdquo; <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&rsquo;s a set of &ldquo;extra&rdquo; 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 &ldquo;<em>public</em>&rdquo; supplier
-would be an appropriate place). Once you&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s
-not a problem. Furthermore <a href="FAQ-usepsfont.html">PSNFSS</a>
-will usually provide &ldquo;faked&rdquo; 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.
