HeadingFont does not have definitions for many FaceCodes that BodyFont
has.
The common manifestation occurs when a user tries to include an equation
in a Caption which the list of figures and list of tables cannot handle.
Another manifestation is attempting to use Greek in a HeadingFont in a
SansSerif FontFamily.
The result is an error like:
[~]:gevalt % cat > foo.mss
@MajorHeading(@g(A))
[~]:gevalt % scribe foo.mss
...
Error in G command found while processing the manuscript.
foo.mss, line 1: @MajorHeading(@g(A))
Font HEADINGFONT does not include facecode G (Greek).
Using facecode R (if possible) instead.
The FIX:
The definitions for BodyFont and HeadingFont for all PostScript
FontFamilies look something like this:
@DefineFont(BodyFont,
A=<Typecase "PsMathTR10">,
I=<RawFont "TimesItalic">,
B=<RawFont "TimesBold">,
R=<RawFont "TimesRoman">,
F=<RawFont "CourierBold">,
G=<TypeCase "PsGreek">,
Y=<TypeCase "PsPubsSerif">,
J=<TypeCase "PsSymbol1">,
K=<TypeCase "PsSymbol2">,
Z=<RawFont "TimesItalic">,
P=<RawFont "TimesBoldItalic">,
T=<RawFont "Courier">,
S=<RawFont "AccentTimesRoman">)
@DefineFont(HeadingFont,
P=<RawFont "TimesBoldItalic">,
B=<RawFont "TimesBold">,
I=<RawFont "TimesBoldItalic">,
R=<RawFont "TimesRoman">,
G=<TypeCase "PsGreek">,
S=<RawFont "AccentTimesBold">)
Define the following FaceCodes for HeadingFont:
A,F,G(for some FontFamilies), Y, J, K, Z, T
I think that a non-bold heading characacter is better than none at all.
