» Font Identifier String
| Qualifier | Meaning | Other Info |
|---|---|---|
| \F | Font identifier (name of font directory) | Space/control terminated |
| \f | Territory number, space, font name (in the current territory’s language and alphabet) | Control terminated |
| \E | Font Encoding Identifier | Control terminated |
| \e | Territory number, space, encoding name | Control terminated |
| \m | Font Transformation Matrix, 6 1/1000th em values as decimal signed integers. The first four are actually interprested as fixed point fractions of the form &XXXX-XXXX | All six em values must be followed by a space |
Use
The font identifier is the name of the font directory as it appears in Font$Path. The font name (given by \f) is ignored by the Font Manager, but returned in the *Font 'n' not found error message if the territory number matches the current territory.
Notes
If the string does not start with ‘\’ it is assumed to be a font name (i.e. \F is implicitly prepended).
