NAME¶

"LaTeXML::Font" - representation of fonts, along with the specialization "LaTeXML::MathFont".

DESCRIPTION¶

This module defines Font objects. I'm not completely happy with the arrangement, or maybe just the use of it, so I'm not going to document extensively at this point. "LaTeXML::Font" and "LaTeXML::MathFont" represent fonts (the latter, fonts in math-mode, obviously) in LaTeXML. The attributes are

 family : serif, sansserif, typewriter, caligraphic,
          fraktur, script
 series : medium, bold
 shape  : upright, italic, slanted, smallcaps
 size   : tiny, footnote, small, normal, large,
          Large, LARGE, huge, Huge
 color  : any named color, default is black

They are usually merged against the current font, attempting to mimic the, sometimes counter-intuitive, way that TeX does it, particularly for math

"LaTeXML::MathFont"¶

"LaTeXML::MathFont" supports "$font-"specialize($string);> for computing a font reflecting how the specific $string would be printed when $font is active; This (attempts to) handle the curious ways that lower case greek often doesn't get a different font. In particular, it recognizes the following classes of strings: single latin letter, single uppercase greek character, single lowercase greek character, digits, and others.
