To make it easy to typeset documents with other font
families (like Times Roman, Optima etc.) we maintain
seven additional macros
verbatim71#
denoting the family chosen by
51, 52, 53 or the series chosen
by 54 or the shape for 55,
56 and 57, respectively.6 If, for example, a document should be typeset in sans serif
one could add in the preamble (between 58
and 59) the following redefinitions:
verbatim72#
The first line means that whenever 60 is called the
family <#219#>cmss<#219#> (i.e. computer modern sans serif) is chosen
and the second line redefines 61 to switch to the slanted
shape since this family hasn't got an <#220#>italic<#220#> shape.
Another possible use is to say
verbatim73#
This will redefine 62 to select the bold instead of the
bold extended series which is the current default.
However these commands are
probably ignored by document styles for journals which decide to
use their own font families in the final print.
