What were you trying to do?
1) Include Greek in a heading font.
2) Get a phi1 or theta1 symbol.
3) Use heading font in Souvenir, and LubalinGraph.
What's wrong:
1) It works for Helvetica, TimesRoman, and New Century, and Souvenir,
but not for AvantGarde, Bookman, Garamond, and Palatino.
2) It's *VERY* hard to do.
3) The headings are light instead of bold.
What should have happened:
1) It should work for all. A similar problem occurs for symbols,
math, and verbatim.
2) There should be a reasonably easy way to get all of the
PostScript Symbols.
3) HeadingFont should have FaceCode R bold.
In short, the various FontFamilies are filled with
inconsistancies between each other. I have a version of the database
font files which fixes these problems in
/afs/athena/user/d/drmorris/scribe/database/fonts.
The file 'diffs' contains a context diff (-c3).
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
