In this article we describe the use of the new font selection scheme in the standard L^ATEX<#47#><#47#> environment. The main characteristics are:

• The possibility to change family, series, shape and sizes independently of one another.
• The existence of a style file to process older documents without any changes to their layout and their input files.
• A macro setup which is consistent with existing standard document styles.¹

30 It is planned to incorporate this font selection scheme into L^ATEX<#51#><#51#> version 2.10.
