Notes:

  1. "Italic" is a cursive form of roman, designed to replicate handwriting. "Oblique" is a text style created by slanting a roman font to simulate italics. "Roman" characters have a vertical stem. For details about type setting terminology, see for instance http://typographic.razorfish.com/
  2. Certain fonts can be missing on some output devices.

entities

In output to a PostScript metafile, Greek characters, diacritics, ligatures and some special symbols can be created. This can be done by entering the PS octal code for the symbol, but also by using the SGML entity name.

When using the PS code, remember that the backslash that precedes the symbol number is by default an escape character in Garfield. You must therefore set the escape character to something else before using these codes. It is therefore probably easier to use the SGML entities.

The correspondence for some symbols commonly used in French, German and Polish is listed in the table below. The SGML entity names for most Greek characters are easy to guess: α, β, Ζ etc. The terminal \σ and alternative \θ are in the table, accented Greek characters (dialytica and tonos) are currently not available via entities (they are not in the standard Greek PostScript fonts).

PostScript characters are as a rule not visible on the screen.

Notes:

  1. The letter "S" after the octal PostScript code indicates that the character comes from the Symbol font, a "G" indicates that the letter comes from the Special font.
