- Not quite that simple, but simple enough. In 1989, Jerry Leichter
- <LEICHTER-JERRY@CS.YALE.EDU> wrote bsf.sty to include boldface san serif
- (via \bsf as a font family name pointing to the cmssbx10 font) into the old
- font selection scheme. I used his template, changed a few names and created
- bsl.sty (for bold slanted via \bsl for a font family name pointing to the
- cmbxsl10 font) and isf.sty (for italicized sans serif via \isf as a font
- family name pointing to the cmssi10 font). Mine are not documented
- properly, although tey do point you to what fonts are used. They can
- easily serve as templates for other fonts (these were the ones we commonly
- needed to use, so they became somewhat stable). Since the family is
- defined via these files, they are changed in size with size changing
- commands, as with the default fonts.
-
- To retrieve these files, include:
- SENDME STY.BSF
- SENDME STY.BSL
- SENDME STY.ISF
- in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
- These files are also available for anonymous ftp retrieval from
- Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in [FILESERV.STY]. Note that these are
- explicitly for the old font selection scheme and are not compatible (at
- least I don't think so) with the New Font Selection Scheme (NFSS).
