LATEX2e has a very different font selection scheme to LATEX 2.09. In
this section, we give a brief description of the new commands.
A more detailed description with examples is given in ,
and the interface for class- and package-writers is described in
.
These are font commands whose use is the same as the commands ||,
||, etc. The difference is that each command changes just one
attribute of the font (the attribute changed is part of the name).
One result of this is that, for example, || produces
both a change of series and a change of shape, to give a bold italic
font.
These are one-argument commands; they take as an argument the
text which is to be typeset in the particular font. They also
automatically insert italic corrections where appropriate; if you do
not like the result, you can add an italic correction with || or
remove it with ||. The || should always be the first or
last thing within the text argument.
