\maketitle
This provides a short test of the characters in the \thisfont{} fonts
--- the \verb|proto| font family.
Following the declaration \verb?\protofamily? the \thisfont{} font
is used. For just a few characters the \verb?\textproto{arg}? macro will
typeset \verb?arg? in the \thisfont{} font.
\begin{center}
The \thisfont{} font, and alternate glyphs, in the huge size \\
{\protofamily\huge \abc\\ \ABC\\}
\end{center}
\begin{center}
The font, and alternates, in its normal size followed by the Computer Modern Roman
for comparison \\
\textproto{\abc} \\ \textproto{\ABC} \\
\abc \\ \ABC
\end{center}
The macro \verb?\translitproto{<cmds>}? will give a transliteration
of the commands in its argument. For example,
\thisfont, as near as possible, in \thisfont{} is: \textproto{proto Semitig},
which transliterates as \translitproto{\Ap\Ar\Ao\At\Ao{} \Asv\Ae\Am\At\Ag}.
