Re: Re :Preview type weight ligt



Carl,

Thanks, I did IBM Plex Sans at 12 point and it looks great. (Elephant is elephantine.)


New question:

What is the right syntax to use in the .kbd file to have to SV/NV an onscreen file, foo.bar, as foo.bar.bak (which I want to do before aborting)? I had:

30=myFI=(Getpath);SV/NV myFI . ".bak";AB

but that didn't work. I think my use of the period as concatenator wasn't right.


Thanks,

Harry

For the manual, open `manual.typ` and search for the first instance of 'font'; it will bring you to a line that reads:
