14.4 fonts

14.4 fonts

[Hans Hagen]

David Arnold encountered problems with the 2nd presentation style that
uses 14.4pt fonts. 

In font-cmx.tex, the 14.4 tt entry was wrong (12pt). It should be:   

\definebodyfont [14,4pt,17.3pt,20.7pt] [tt]
  [tf=cmtt12   sa 1,
   sl=cmsltt10 sa 1,
   it=cmitt10  sa 1,
  tfa=cmtt12   sa 1.200,
  tfb=cmtt12   sa 1.440,
  tfc=cmtt12   sa 1.728,
  tfd=cmtt12   sa 2.074]

Change this in 'font-cmx.tex' and remake the format. Actually, the
second part of the whole definition file could be reduced to: 

\definebodyfont
  [14.4pt,17.3pt,20.7pt]
  [rm,ss,tt,mm]
  [default]

Because symbolic names are supported too. More on that in the (big)
manual. 

If one wants to define a font without using file names, say something
like:

  \definefont[TitleFont][Regular at 60pt]

and use it like: 

  \bgroup 
    \TitleFont Some Big Title 
  \egroup

or 

  \bgroup
    \TitleFont \setupinterlinepace  A Few Lines \par
  \egroup

the second alternative adapts the spacing to the current font.

All, Yahoo! This worked! :-) However, be careful cutting and pasting

\definebodyfont [14,4pt,17.3pt,20.7pt] [tt]
  [tf=cmtt12   sa 1,
   sl=cmsltt10 sa 1,
   it=cmitt10  sa 1,
  tfa=cmtt12   sa 1.200,
  tfb=cmtt12   sa 1.440,
  tfc=cmtt12   sa 1.728,
  tfd=cmtt12   sa 2.074]

into font-cmx.tex. Note the 14,4pt is wrong, which should be 14.4pt.
