% Save file as: BSL.STY Source: FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET % Provide access to the boldface slanted type style for LaTeX. Once you % have included "bsl" as a style option, you can use the \bsl command to % select the boldface slanted style, just as you would select the usual % boldface Roman style with \bf, EXCEPT: % % The various fonts defined here are all "loaded on demand". As % discussed in the LaTeX book, Section C.14.4, a loaded on demand % font is subject to two restrictions when used in math mode: % % - The font must be used OUTSIDE of math mode before it is used % INSIDE of math mode. The \load command can be used to get % around this restriction. % % - Only a single font size is available within math mode - the % display, text, script and scriptscriptfonts will all be the % same. This can be avoided ONLY by changing the definitions % given here to pre-load the appropriate fonts; see LFONTS.TEX % for further information. (Alternatively, \@getfont could be % made more clever.) Note that pre-loading the fonts could cause % you to fill font space with fonts you never really use. % % In order to allow other style files that need access to \bsl to input this % file safely, it is designed so that an attempt to input it a second time - % or, more exactly, when command "\bsl" is already defined - is ignored. % % This file can be adapted easily to define other font type styles. The real % limit is likely to come from the requirement that each style so defined must % be given a unique family number - TeX only supports 16 families and LaTeX % as usually configured already uses 10. The right way to avoid this problem % is to modify \@getfont so that it ignores a family number of -1. Fonts % so specified would not be usable in math mode, but that's no big deal; you % don't WANT to use tons of non-math fonts in math mode anyway. % % As currently written, this file assumes that you have boldface san serif % fonts available at the following point sizes: % % cmbxsl10 at 9pt % cmbxsl10 % cmbxsl10 at 11pt % cmbxsl10 at 12pt % cmbxsl10 at 14pt % cmbxsl10 at 17pt % cmbxsl10 at 20pt % cmbxsl10 at 25pt % % All but the last of these should be commonly available. I'm not sure about % the last one; LFONTS.TEX does not assume the availability of ANY 25 pt fonts % other than Roman. If necessary, change the definition of \bslxxv@ to % \@subfont\bsl\rm. (Alternatively, if you have boldface slanted fonts % at sizes smaller than 8pt, you might want to change the definitions of % \bslv@, \bslvi@, and \bslvii@.) % % Technical note: It is possible to do without the \bsl@ macros by % including their contents, with a whole bunch of \@prtct's, within the % \@addfontinfo definitions. This is a pain to do, and probably doesn't end % up saving any space anyway. This way costs you a bunch of extra macros, % but it's a LOT easier to understand! % % Written by GEorge D.
