How do I change the font of a subformula?
You can use one of the following font attributes:
- italic a typesets a in italic shape.
- so does ital a.
- nitalic a typesets a in upright shape
(abbreviation for not italic).
- bold a typesets a in boldface.
- nbold a typesets a with normal weight
(abbreviation for not bold).
In addition Math uses a set of three generic font families,
which are used as follows:
- font serif a typesets a in a serifed
font, usually Times.
- font sans a typesets a in a sans serif
font, usually Helvetica or Arial.
- font fixed a typesets a in a fixed
font, usually Courier.
Font attributes can be combined as in this example:
- Enter bold font sans A to get A.
You can apply font attributes to an entire subformula if you group
it with { } or other brackets. Example:
- Enter a b bold {c d} e to typeset abcde.
When several font attributes are applied, the innermost takes
precedence as shown in this example:
- Enter bold {a b nbold c d} to get abcd.
