I'm not sure how more than two weights (\bf and \rm) could be handled anyway. Is there anything in the tex world equivalent to \light, \medium and \heavy? Multiple typescripts can be created in the same file and can share the same set of font synonyms, so managing them is not that difficult. A typescript is just a "view" of your font files. You can make up your own \light etc macros to do the switching, but I don't see any convenient way of having {\em \sc \light \os This is goofy 99} work out automatically. You'd have to explicitly switch to MyItalticSmallcapsLightOldStyle font. I think Hans once said that all of this is typographically offensive. In defense I would say that when composing titles, book covers, and display art all sorts of things are useful which would not be used in body text. -Bill -- Sattre Press Pagan Papers http://sattre-press.com/ by Kenneth Grahame info@sattre-press.com http://pp.sattre-press.com/
