- In fact there are 12 fonts in the rom...
- Corpus.Bold
- Corpus.Bold.Oblique
- Corpus.Medium
- Corpus.Medium.Oblique
- Homerton.Bold
- Homerton.Bold.Oblique
- Homerton.Medium
- Homerton.Medium.Oblique
- Trinity.Bold
- Trinity.Bold.Italic
- Trinity.Medium
- Trinity.Medium.Italic
-
- The difference between Oblique and Italics seems to be that the so-called
- Oblique fonts use the same outlines as their non-oblique siblings (the
- outlines file in the rom is a text file with the filename of the parent
- outlines file and little else), whereas the Italics fonts have their own
- outlines. So maybe you could argue that there are only 8 fonts in rom :-)
-
- However I'm sticking with 12.
-
- Cheers, Julian.
