As predicted, we have switched to 12-pitch as the default on the laser printer, effective immediately. When using `ms', italics will result from all requests such as `\fI' or `.I'. To obtain underlining, the `.UL' request should be used. Alter- natively, all italics can be overridden with the `-f 12U' option (font 12-pitch, underline). The normal command will be: ms -p hpr file . . . *or* ms -p hpr -f 12U file . . . and for 10-pitch: ms -p hpr -f 10 file . . . Boldface and italics will be available in 10-pitch only by special arrangement. The default for `format' will remain underlining. The command is: format -hp file . . . and for 10-pitch: format -hp -10 file . . . -- David Trueman @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!david
