- The BRADFORD font TECH.BF2 is a new addition to the many
- fonts available for this excellent printing program.
-
- The easiest way to generate formulas and equations with
- TECH.BF2 is to write in all ASCII characters first and
- then use the overline command and the font change command
- to write in the Greek letters and technical symbols. The
- examples below show how this is done.
-
- EXAMPLE 1: FRESNEL NUMBER FOR A LASER:
-
- Write the formula like this,
-
- n (a ) \pr \fntech \pr \ov \pr \spq
- 2 \pr \fnselect
- N ------- \pr \fntech \pr \ov
- + \pr \fnselect
- (L) \pr \fntech \pr \ov
- l \pr \fnselect \pr \sp1
-
-
- to get a result which looks like this:
-
-
- n (a ) \fntech \ov \spq
- 2 \fnselect
- N ------- \fntech \ov
- + \fnselect
- (L) \fntech \ov
- l \fnselect \sp1
-
-
- EXAMPLE 2: STEFAN-BOLTZMANN Law:
-
- Write
-
- P(Blackbody) = T \pr \fntech \pr \ov
- s 4 \pr \fnselect
- Where
- P(Blackbody) = Total Power radiated (W/sq.m) \pr \fntech
- s \pr \fnselect = 5.67E-8
- T = Temperature K (C + 273)\pr \fntech \pr \ov
- , , \pr \fnselect
-
- to get
-
- P(Blackbody) = T \fntech \ov
- s 4 \fnselect
- Where
- P(Blackbody) = Total Power radiated (W/sq.m) \fntech
- s \fnselect = 5.67E-8
- T = Temperature K (C + 273)\fntech \ov
- , , \fnselect
- .pa
-
- Note that the new symbols are just under the spaces left
- for them in the ASCII string; this method of superimposing
- symbols avoids the problem of changing fonts in the middle
- of a line and then trying to get everything lined up. It
- is not exactly WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get!), but
- it's close.
-
- Unfortunately, BRADFORD counts overstrikes as individual
- lines even though they are not printed that way; partial
- compensation for this problem is the use of the narrowest
- line spacing (spq) when needed to make everything fit on
- the same page.
