- Stackable fonts and Style support
- .ENDF
-
- Starting at version 1.34, mkafax supports stackable fonts, and the use of
- styles, such as Bold, Italic and Underline.
-
- Useage of the command .FONT has been extended, and the commands .STYLE
- and .ENDF have been added.
-
- The font system has been modified so that fonts are now nestable. This
- means you can set a font/style, and then return to the original
- font/style, without needing to know what that was. This can be very
- useful for include files, which can return to the original font before
- they exit, for example. The .FONT command now takes an optional third
- parameter, which defines the requested style to use. This takes the
- form of a string, consisting of the letters N, B, U, I and E in any
- order, upper or lower case.
- .NOFILL
- N - Normal
- B - Bold
- U - Underlined
- I - Italics
- E - Extended
- .FILL
- Note that the letters are parsed in order, and that N will clear the
- other flags and set the font back to normal. For example,
-
- .FONT topaz 30 BU
- .FONT topaz 30 BU
-
- will set the font to topaz 30, Bold and Underlined.
-
- .FONT CGTimes 50 I
- .FONT CGTimes 50 I
-
- set CGTimes at 50-point, Italic. You can retain the existing font, but
- change its style, by using the new .STYLE command.
-
- .STYLE U
- .STYLE U
-
- This is Underlined.
-
- .STYLE IU
- .STYLE IU
-
- This is Underlined and Italic.
-
- .ENDF
- .ENDF
- Pops the font/style back to its previous value.
- .ENDF
- Popped again
- .ENDF
- and again
- .ENDF
- and again
-
- All .FONT and .STYLE commands can now be nested. This means that the
- font/style you set will remain in effect until the new command .ENDF
- is encountered. After this the previous font/style set will be in
- force. The Default font, which can be set from your FAXLIB:Config file
- or by environ- mental variable, is always the underlying font. No
- matter how many .ENDF commands you enter, this will not be popped from
- the font stack. Note that if you have defined a Header font, this
- will be automatically pushed for headers, and popped afterwards.
