Fonts

Almost all the symbols available on our fonts can be generated by ordinary LATEX commands. However, there are type sizes not obtainable by LATEX's size-changing commands with the ordinary document styles. Consult a local TEX expert to find the TEX name for such a font.

Tables [*] and [*] allow you to determine if the font for a type style at a particular size is preloaded, loaded on demand, or unavailable.

Table: Type sizes for LATEX size-changing commands.
size default (10pt) 11pt option 12pt option
\tiny 5pt 6pt 6pt
\scriptsize 7pt 8pt 8pt
\footnotesize 8pt 9pt 10pt
\small 9pt 10pt 11pt
\normalsize 10pt 11pt 12pt
\large 12pt 12pt 14pt
\Large 14pt 14pt 17pt
\LARGE 17pt 17pt 20pt
\huge 20pt 20pt 25pt
\Huge 25pt 25pt 25pt

Table [*] tells you what size of type is used for each LATEX type-size command in the various document-style options. For example, with the 12pt option, the \large declaration causes LATEX to use 14pt type. Table [*] tells, for every type size, to which class of fonts each type style belongs. For example, in 14pt type, \bf uses a preloaded font and the other five type-style commands use load-on-demand fonts. Roman (\rm) and math italic (\mit) fonts are all preloaded; the \em declaration uses either italic (\it) or roman.
