substitutefont -------------- Combine font families ********************* :Copyright: © 2010 Günter Milde <milde@users.sf.net> :Contributor: Special thanks to Ulrike Fischer who provided the indirect definition with active ``\nfss@catcodes``. :Licence: This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the `LaTeX Project Public License`_, either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later version. .. _LaTeX Project Public License: http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt In traditional 8-bit LaTeX, fonts are restricted to 256 glyphs per file. To support different languages and scripts, the New Font Selection Scheme uses a set of TeX font encodings [encguide]_. Many Latin TeX fonts do not support Greek or Cyrillic, while many non-Latin fonts are extensions of a Latin font family but use a different family 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 <encguide>`_. :News: 2013-11-04 Documentation/Test fixes. :Source: `<substitutefont.sty>`_ The literate source was converted with PyLit_ to reStructuredText_ and with Docutils_ to the HTML documentation `<substitutefont.sty.html>`__. Usage ===== The macro ``\substitutefont{<encoding>}{<family>}{<new-family>}`` selects the font family <new-family> as replacement for <family> in the font encoding <encoding>. The substitution must be defined before the first use of the specified font encoding, preferably in the document preamble. In contrast to the (deprecated) ``\substitutefontfamily`` macro provided by Babel_, ``\substitutefont`` does not write auxiliary files. The ``<encoding>`` is one of the LaTeX font encodings [encguide]_, e.g., T1 for Latin, T2A for Cyrillic(Russian), or LGR for Greek. For ``<family>`` and ``<new-family>``, use the «TeX names» of the font. There are defined by a TeX font package's ``*.fd`` or ``*.sty`` file(s). LaTeX stores the default family names for Roman, Sans-Serif, and Teletype fonts in the ``\rmdefault``, ``\sfdefault``, and ``\ttdefault`` macros respectively. Example: Set the font family to Palatino using the standard package `mathpazo` for Latin and `GFS Didot`_ for Greek:: \usepackage[sc,slantedGreek]{mathpazo} \usepackage{substitutefont} \substitutefont{LGR}{\rmdefault}{udidot} For details on LaTeX font selection, see [encguide]_ and [fntguide]_. Tests/Examples ============== * Simple test with Latin fonts: `<substitutefont-test.tex>`__, `<substitutefont-test.pdf>`__ * Palatino with Greek from `GFS Didot`_: `<greek-palatino-didot.tex>`__, `<greek-palatino-didot.pdf>`__ * Times/Helvetica/Courier (newtx_) with `GFS Artemisia`_, `GFS Neohellenic`_, and teletype from the CB_ fonts: txfontsb_ `<greek-times-artemisia.tex>`__, `<greek-times-artemisia.pdf>`__ * Latin Modern with Cyrillic from `CM LGC`_: `<cyrillic-lm-lgc.tex>`__, `<cyrillic-lm-lgc.pdf>`__ * Times/Helvetica/Courier (TeX Gyre) with Cyrillic ParaType_ fonts: `<cyrillic-paratype.tex>`__, `<cyrillic-paratype.pdf>`__ References ========== ..
