I have been trying to figure out a way to get lots of fonts (more than four) in a single troff document. My environment is running various *troffs (troff, dvitroff, ditroff) on sun workstations, with a LaserWriter as an output device. The LaserWriter has Times Roman, Helvetica, and Courier fonts, some or all of which (but more than four at a time!) I would like to use. Is there a troff expert out there who can help with this? (Please forgive my ignorance, I don't normally use troff. Circumstances force me to do so.) cheers, txr

You specify fonts like zo in SVR2 ditroff: \fHthis is Helvetica\fP and this is what we were Previously. \f followed by a font name makes the change for single letter font names, \f( is used for two-char names. \fP returns you to the previous font. You can also use font numbers if you know them, or load them. For example, 1 is usually Roman, 2 is Italic, and 3 is Bold. So, you could do this: \f1this is in roman,\f2 this is in italic, \f3and this is in bold\f1 Hope this helps. -- Jim Webb "Out of phase--get help" ...!ihnp4!hropus!jrw "Use the Force, Read the Source"
