.SH DESCRIPTION
Listed below are some of the more common (or more cryptically
named) typesetter fonts.
.PP
In the directories
.F /usr/lib/font
and
.F /usr/jerq/font 
are kept tables for fonts available on some or all of
the Autologic APS-5 phototypesetter, the Mergenthaler Linotron 202
phototypesetter, the Canon laser printer,
and the Teletype 5620 terminal running under 
.IR mux (9.1).
Those directories may be consulted for the
current list of offerings.
.PP
Most fonts come in families, e.g.
.LR Souvenir ,
.L SouvenirI
(italic),
.L SouvenirB
(bold),
.L SouvenirBI
(bold italic),
.L SouvenirBK
(demi-bold, `black')
.L SouvenirKI
(demi-bold italic).
For the 5620 and the Canon there is a
separate font table for each point size, e.g.
.LR CW.11 .
.PP
In
.I troff
fonts must be `mounted' in a `font position'. 
The default set is 
.L
R I B BI H HB HK CW CH S
for the 202 and the Canon
and
.L
R I B H CW S S1 GR
for the APS-5.
Other fonts may be mounted with the
.L .fp
request.
Fonts with long names must be given aliases; see
the
.IR troff
manual.
