When I format the Elm 2.2 documentation, font switches (and probably also some other settings) are not preserved across page boundaries. E.g. from the example .elm/elmrc file in the Ref.guide only the part up to the first page boundary appears in the Courier font. Is this a problem using the tmac.n macros in general? I use DWB 2.0 and the ditroff output itself is already wrong (that is, the problem is not due to my postprocessor). Besides this, a few other problems are present in the Elm documentation, e.g. referring to the 'C' font i.s.o. the 'CW' font on some places. -- -- ###### Jos Vos ###### Internet jos@idca.tds.philips.nl ###### -- ###### ###### UUCP ...!mcvax!philapd!jos ######

There is no standard per se for font names, but since postscript refers to Courier as C, we used that. I have seen many choices for the font names. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S. Weinstein, CDP, CCP Elm Coordinator Datacomp Systems, Inc.

It's true that there are no standards in that, but what do you mean with "PostScript referring to Courier as C" ?? The one-or-two-letter troff fontnames are determined by the tables and the ditroff postprocessor (in the case of ditroff). In order to circumvent the problem as much as possible you could use a mounted font position, e.g. "\f5", and mount at the beginning of each document the font: ".fp 5 CW". This would make life easier for people naming the Courier font XY :-). Nevertheless, use ONE name for ONE font in all your documentation. -- -- ###### Jos Vos ###### Internet jos@idca.tds.philips.nl ###### -- ###### ###### UUCP ...!mcvax!philapd!jos ######
