LaTeXML...on::Font(3)

📦 version 0.8.8, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

"LaTeXML::Common::Font" — representation of fonts.

okay so bestie, this is the LaTeXML...on::Font(3) page under User Contributed Perl Documentation (yes the header truncates the title, but the main character is LaTeXML::Common::Font), and it’s literally all about fonts in LaTeXML 💅✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

"LaTeXML::Common::Font" represents fonts in LaTeXML. It extends LaTeXML::Common::Object.

This module defines Font objects. ngl, the author says they’re not completely happy with the arrangement — or maybe just the use of it — so they’re not going to document extensively at this point 🙈

The attributes are:

  • family — serif, sansserif, typewriter, caligraphic, fraktur, script
  • series — medium, bold
  • shape — upright, italic, slanted, smallcaps
  • size — TINY, Tiny, tiny, SMALL, Small, small, normal, Normal, large, Large, LARGE, huge, Huge, HUGE, gigantic, Gigantic, GIGANTIC
  • color — any named color, default is Black

They are usually merged against the current font, attempting to mimic the sometimes counter-intuitive way that TeX does it — particularly for math 🧮✨

🎀 Methods 🎀

💫 $font->specialize($string);

In math mode, LaTeXML::Common::Font supports computing a font reflecting how the specific $string would be printed when $font is active. This (attempts to) handle the curious ways that lower case greek often doesn’t get a different font. In particular, it recognizes the following classes of strings: single latin letter, single uppercase greek character, single lowercase greek character, digits, and others. 🦋
