Modifiers save data and \^`\fontsel` selects the font considering saved data. Each basic variant selector \`\rm`, \`\bf`, \`\it`, \`\bi`, and \`\tt` runs internal variant modifier \`\_fmodrm`, \`\_fmodbf`, \`\_fmodit`, \`\_fmodbi` and \`\_fmodtt`. These modifiers save their data to the \`\_famv` macro which is `rm` or `bf` or `it` or `bi` or `tt`. The \`\currvar` selector is \^`\fontsel` by default, but variant selectors declared by \^`\famvardef` change it. \_cod ----------------------------- \_def\_famv{rm} % default value \_protected\_def \_fmodrm {\_def\_famv{rm}} \_protected\_def \_fmodbf {\_def\_famv{bf}} \_protected\_def \_fmodit {\_def\_famv{it}} \_protected\_def \_fmodbi {\_def\_famv{bi}} \_protected\_def \_fmodtt {\_def\_famv{tt}} \_protected\_def \_rm {\_fmodrm \_fontsel \_marm} \_protected\_def \_bf {\_fmodbf \_fontsel \_mabf} \_protected\_def \_it {\_fmodit \_fontsel \_mait} \_protected\_def \_bi {\_fmodbi \_fontsel \_mabi} \_protected\_def \_tt {\_fmodtt \_fontsel \_matt} \_protected\_def \_currvar {\_fontsel} \_protected\_def \currvar{\_currvar} \_public \rm \bf \it \bi \tt ; \_doc ----------------------------- The \`\fontsel` creates the in the format `\_ten` and loads the font associated to the . The loading is done by: \begitems \style a * `\letfont = \savedswitch \_sizespec` * `\font = \fontnamegen \_sizespec` \enditems The a) variant is used when \~`\_fontnamegen` isn't defined, i.e.\ \^`\fontfam` wasn't used: only basic variant and \^`\_sizespec` is taken into account. The b) variant is processed when \^`\fontfam` was used: all data saved by all font modifiers are used during expansion of \^`\_fontnamegen`.\nl After the font is loaded, final job is done by \`\_fontselA```. \_cod ----------------------------- \_protected\_def \_fontsel {% \_ifx\_fontnamegen\_undefined % \fontfam was not used \_ea\_let \_ea\_tmpf \_csname _ten\_famv\_endcsname \_ea\_fontlet \_csname _ten\_xfamv\_endcsname \_tmpf \_sizespec \_else % \fontfam is used \_ea\_font \_csname _ten\_xfamv\_endcsname {\_fontnamegen}\_sizespec \_fi \_relax \_ea \_fontselA \_csname _ten\_xfamv\_endcsname } \_def\_fontselA #1{% \_protected\_def \_currvar {\_fontsel}% default value of \_currvar \_logfont #1% font selecting should be logged. \_setwsp #1% wordspace setting \_fontloaded #1% initial settings if font is loaded firstly #1% select the font } \_def \_logfont #1{} \_def \_xfamv {\_famv} \_public \fontsel ; \_doc ----------------------------- If a font is loaded by macros \^`\fontsel` or \^`\resizethefont` then the \`\_fontloaded``` is called immediately after it. If the font is loaded first then its `\skewchar` is equal to $-1$. We run \`\_newfontloaded``` and set `\skewchar=-2` in this case. A user can define a `\_newfontloaded` macro. We are sure that `\_newfontloaded` macro is called only once for each instance of the font given by its name, OTF features and size specification. The `\skewchar` value is globally saved to the font (like `\fontdimen`). If it is used in math typesetting then it is set to a positive value.\nl The `\_newfontloaded` should be defined for micro-typographic configuration of fonts, for example. The `mte.opm` package uses it.

If it is true, then closes the file by `\endinput`. Else it defines `\` and saves it to the internal `\_f::main.fam` command. The macro \`\_initfontfamily` needs it. The \`\_currfamily` is set to the `` because the following \^`\moddef` commands need to be in the right font family context. The `\_currfamily` is set to the `` by the `\` too, because `\` must set the right font family context. The font family context is given by the current `\_currfamily` value and by the current meaning of the \^`\_fontnamegen` macro.

When the `\_optname` is expanded then the data are scanned by the macro \`\_optnameA` `? `\code{<}`` in the loop.\nl \`\_optfontalias` `{ is undeclared in the current family" and nothing happens. But you can declare the same variant selector by \^`\famvardef` macro in the context of a new family. Then the same command may do different work depending on the current font family. Suppose that the selected font family provides the font modifier `\medium` for mediate weight of fonts. Then you can declare: \begtt \famvardef \mf {\medium\rm} \famvardef \mi {\medium\it} \endtt Now, you can use six independent variant selectors `\rm`, `\bf`, `\it`, `\bi`, `\mf` and `\mi` in the selected font family. A `\` can be written before `` in the `\famvardef` parameter. Then the `\` is declared in the current family but it can use fonts from another family represented by the `\`. When you are mixing fonts from more families then you probably run into a problem with incompatible ex-heights. This problem can be solved using \^`\setfontsize` and \^`\famvardef` macros: \begtt \fontfam[Heros] \fontfam[Termes] \def\exhcorr{\setfontsize{mag.88}} \famvardef\rmsans{\Heros\exhcorr\rm} \famvardef\itsans{\Heros\exhcorr\it} Compare ex-height of Termes \rmsans with Heros \rm and Termes. \endtt The variant selectors (declared by \~`\famvardef`) or font modifiers (declared by \~`\moddef`) are (typically) control sequences in the public namespace (`\mf`, `\caps`). They are most often declared in font family files and they are loaded by \^`\fontfam`. A conflict with such names in the public namespace can be here. For example: if `\mf` is defined by a user and then `\fontfam[Roboto]` is used then `\famvardef\mf` is performed for Roboto family and the original meaning of `\mf` is lost. But \OpTeX/ prints warning about it. There are two cases: \begtt \def\mf{Metafont} \fontfam[Roboto] % warning: "The \mf is redefined by \famvardef" is printed or \fontfam[Roboto] \def\mf{Metafont} % \mf variant selector redefined by user, we suppose that \mf % is used only in the meaning of "Metafont" in the document. \endtt \secc[tt] The `\tt` variant selector \^`\tt` is an additional special variant selector which is defined as \"select typewriter font independently of the current font family". By default, the typewriter font-face from LatinModern font family is used. When using this default `\tt` selector you need not to load the LatinModern family (by \^`\fontfam[lm]`) because the font file is explicitly specified in the macro \^`\_ttunifont`. The default `\tt` selector scales this font without respecting optical sizes. The \^`\tt` variant selector is used in \OpTeX/ internal macros \^`\_ttfont` (verbatim texts), \^`\_urlfont` (printing URL's), \^`\_printii` (printing index entry when doc macros are activated) and \^`\ttraggedright` (plain~\TeX/ macro). The \^`\tt` variant selector can be re-defined by \^`\famvardef`. For example: \begtt \fontfam[Cursor] \fontfam[Heros] \fontfam[Termes] \famvardef\tt{\Cursor\setff{-liga;-tlig}\rm} Test in Termes: {\tt text}. {\Heros\rm Test in Heros: {\tt text}}. Test in URL \url{http://something.org}. \endtt % You can see that \^`\tt` stay family independent. This is a special feature only for \^`\tt` selector. It is recommended to use `\setff{-liga;-tlig}` to suppress the ligatures in typewriter fonts. The \^`\famvardef\tt` behaves differently than \^`\famvardef\anythingelse`: it creates the \^`\tt` variant selector independent of current font family and it redefines both macros `\tt` and `\_tt` in order to all internal \OpTeX/ macros based on this selector are working with the new selected font. If you load \^`\fontfam[lm]` and declare `\famvardef\tt{\LMfonts\ttset\setff{-tlig}\rm}` then you get almost the same behavior as the default `\tt` selector does with one difference: a new `\tt` selector respects optical sizes declared in the LatinModern font family. You can implement ex-height correction of `\tt` font with respect to your font family used for general text. For example: \begtt \load[lm] \famvardef\tt{\LMfonts\ttset\setfontsize{mag1.1}\setff{-tlig}\rm} ... or ... \let\oritt=\tt \famvardef\tt{\setfontsize{mag1.1}\oritt} \endtt The second alternative uses the default font from \^`\_ttunifont` without respecting optical sizes. If Unicode math font is loaded then the `\tt` macro selects typewriter font-face in math mode too. This face is selected from used Unicode math font and it is independent of `\famvardef\tt` declaration. \secc[fontmacros] Font commands defined by `\def` Such font commands can be used as fonts selectors for titles, footnotes, citations, etc. Users can define them. The following example shows how to define a \"title-font selector". Titles are not only bigger but they are typically in the bold variant. When a user puts `{\it...}` into the title text then he/she expects bold italic here, no normal italic. You can remember the great song by John Lennon \"Let It Be" and define: \begtt \def\titlefont{\setfontsize{at14pt}\bf \let\it\bi} ... {\titlefont Title in bold 14pt font and {\it bold 14pt italics} too} \endtt \OpTeX/ defines similar internal commands \^`\_titfont`, \^`\_chapfont`, \^`\_secfont` and \^`\_seccfont`, see section~\ref[sections]. The commands \^`\typosize` and \^`\boldify` are used in these macros. They set the math fonts to given size too and they are defined in section~\ref[opmac-fonts]. \secc[setff] Modifying font features %---------------------------- Each OTF font provides \"font features". You can list these font features by `otfinfo -f font.otf`. For example, LinLibertine fonts provide `frac` font feature. If it is active then fractions like 1/2 are printed in a special form. The font features are part of the font context data. The macro \^`\setff` `{}` acts like family independent font modifier and prepares a new . You must use a variant selector in order to reinitialize the font with the new font feature. For example \^`\setff``{+frac}\rm` or \^`\setff``{+frac}`\^`\currvar`. You can declare a new variant selector too: \begtt \fontfam[LinLibertine] \famvardef \fraclig {\setff{+frac}\currvar} Compare 1/2 or 1/10 \fraclig to 1/2 or 1/10. \endtt If the used font does not support the given font feature then the font is reloaded without warning nor error, silently. The font feature is not activated. The `onum` font feature (old-style digits) is connected to `\caps` macro for Caps+SmallCaps variant in \OpTeX/ font family files. So you need not create a new modifier, just use `{\caps`\^`\currvar`` 012345}`. \secc[specff] Special font modifiers %--------------------------- Despite the font modifiers declared in the font family file (and dependent on the font family), we have following font modifiers (independent of font family): \begtt \catcode`\<=13 \setfontsize{} % sets the font size \setff{} % adds the font feature \setletterspace{} % sets letter spacing \setwordspace{} % modifies word spacing \endtt The \^`\setfontsize` command is described in the section \ref[setfontsize]. The \^`\setff` command was described in previous subsection. \^`\setletterspace` `{}` specifies the letter spacing of the font. The `` is a decimal number without unit. The unit is supposed as 1/100 of the font size. I.e. `2.5` means 0.25 pt when the font is at 10 pt size. The empty parameter `` means no letter spacing which is the default. \^`\setwordspace` `{}` scales the default interword space (defined in the font) and its stretching and shrinking parameters by given `` factor. For example `\setwordspace{2.5}` multiplies interword space by 2.5. \^`\setwordspace` can use different multiplication factors if its parameter is in the format `{///}`. For example, `\setwordspace{/1/2.5/1}` enlarges only stretching 2.5~times. You can use `\setff` with other font features provided by Lua\TeX/ and `luaotfload` package (see documentation of `loaotfload` package for more information): \begtt \setff{embolden=1.5}\rm % font is bolder because outline has nonzero width \setff{slant=0.2}\rm % font is slanted by a linear transformation \setff{extend=1.2}\rm % font is extended by a linear transformation. \setff{colr=yes}\rm % if the font includes colored characters, use colors \setff{upper}\rm % to uppercase (lower=lowecase) conversion at font level \setff{fallback=name}\rm % use fonts from a list given by name if missing chars \endtt Use font transformations `embolden`, `slant`, `extend` and \^`\setletterspace`, \^`\setwordspace` with care. The best setting of these values is the default setting in every font, of course. If you really need to set a different letter spacing then it is strongly recommended to add `\setff{-liga}` to disable ligatures. And setting a positive letter spacing probably needs to scale interword spacing too. All mentioned font modifiers (except for `\setfontsize`) work only with Unicode fonts loaded by \^`\fontfam`. \secc[fontfamfiles] How to create the font family file %------------------------------------------------------ \printdoctail f-heros.opm \printdoctail f-lmfonts.opm \secc How to register the font family in the Font Selection System %--------------------------------------------------------------- \printdoctail fams-ini.opm \endinput 2023-06-16 \fontfamsub improved. 2023-05-30 \catalognextfam introduced. 2023-04-22 \setwordspace: \fontdimens reset, bug fixed. 2023-03-09 \_famsrc, \fontfamsub introduced 2022-12-01 \faminfo saves f- to the format only when needed 2022-11-08 \protected: \fontdef, \famvardef, \fontfam 2022-02-22 Font Selection System reimplemented, \fontsel introduced 2021-09-24 \_unichars used in \initunifonts 2021-07-16 \initunifonts: optex_hook_into_luaotfload added. 2021-05-23 concept of \_fontfeatures macro re-implemented 2021-05-02 simpler \_resizefont, better concept of doc, moving parts from fonts-resize 2021-04-22 \_ffonum introduced 2021-04-19 \setwordspace: parameter format {/A/B/C} implemented. 2021-02-25 \_ttunifont introduced 2021-01-27 lua hack (print function) removed because luaotfload 3.17 removes bug. 2020-12-12 \_modlist added, doc improved 2020-04-18 \_tryloadfamslocal introduced \_fontdecl -> \_famdecl with different concept 2020-03-18 released
