How do I change the font of a subformula?
You can use one of the following font attributes:
- italic a typesets a in italic shape.
- so does ital a.
- nitalic a typesets a in upright shape (abbreviation for not italic).
- bold a typesets a in boldface.
- nbold a typesets a with normal weight (abbreviation for not bold).
In addition Math uses a set of three generic font families,
which are used as follows:
- font serif a typesets a in a serifed font, usually Times.
- font sans a typesets a in a sans serif font, usually Helvetica or Arial.
- font fixed a typesets a in a fixed-width font, usually Courier.
Font attributes can be combined as in this example:
Enter bold font sans A to get A.
You can apply font attributes to an entire subformula if you group it with { } or other brackets. Example:
Enter a b bold {c d} e to typeset abcde.
When several font attributes are applied, the innermost takes precedence as shown in this example:
Enter bold {a b nbold c d} to get abcd.
