| True WYSIWYG LaTeX System |
Font WizardsBaKoMa TeX provides easy ways to use any fonts available in TEXMF tree and installed in Windows fonts directory. Take attention on three wizards:
|
LaTeX documents manage three basic font families,
whose may be selected by such commands as \textrm, \textsf, \texttt.
By default, these commands are associated with Computer Modern fonts.
'Configuring Font Families' dialog lets you to define basic
LaTeX fonts.
The dialog is available in 'Insert' program menu
or in 'Font Family...' ( |

|
In appeared dialog (see below) you can click tabs to choose what family (\textrm, \texsf, or \textt) you want to select. Sample text shows how currently selected font looks.

Looking in the dialog you may found some key features:
NOTE: It is implemented via insertion '\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{...}' LaTeX code in document preamble.
) menu
of LaTeX text toolbar, as shown on below image (left image).

In appeared dialog (right image) you can choose desired font and see preview of sample text. Clicking [OK] button just inserts '{\fontfamily{font family}\selectfont selection}' LaTeX code into document source code. However, it automatically generates required FD/TFM/VF files.
) button of LaTeX text toolbar,
as shown on below image.
In appeared dialog (see below) you can choose font in drop down list and click button to insert desired symbol.

In drop down list you will see all symbol fonts installed under windows system.
To insert symbols from TeX fonts 'More Symbols...'
(
) button should be used.
In a document it is implemented via insertion of '\Pisymbol{@family}{number}' command of pifont LaTeX package.
For example, you can write code like following:
{\fontfamily{@castelar}\selectfont Castelar Font family}
{\fontfamily{@curlz@mt}\selectfont Curlz MT Font Family}
{\fontfamily{@forte}\selectfont Forte Font Family}
NOTE: Font family must be: (1) prefixed by '@';
(2) typeset in lowercase; (3) use '@' instead of SPACE.
Alternatively, TTF file names may be used:
{\fontfamily{@curlz___}\selectfont Curlz MT Font Family}
NOTE: It is not important what TTF file (Regular, Bold, Italic, BoldItalic)
is referred, Anyway entire font family is assumed.
In other words, all below links are equivalent:
{\fontfamily{@times@new@roman}\selectfont Times New Roman Font Family}
{\fontfamily{@times}\selectfont Times New Roman Font Family}
{\fontfamily{@timesbd}\selectfont Times New Roman Font Family}
{\fontfamily{@timesi}\selectfont Times New Roman Font Family}
{\fontfamily{@timesbi}\selectfont Times New Roman Font Family}
Technically, BaKoMa TeX intercepts opening of proper FD file and generates all required FD, TFM and VF files automatically.
