This configuration files section defines the character fonts used in Xclamation.

Font-list Definition Section: \FONTLIST{...}

This section presents the fonts accessible in corresponding Xclamation menus. The font-list sits between the opening bracket "{" and closing bracket "}". Each element of the font-list is defined as described below.

This section defines a font from the font-list. The font definition sits between the opening bracket "{" and closing bracket "}".

The parameters of a font definition are:

1. The font name: the internal name used to designate this font. The user may name the font as they wish, but the name must be unique to all Xclamation configuration files.
    
2. \FULLNAME{name} where name represents the name attributed to the font in the corresponding Xclamation menus.
    
3. \FAMILY{name} where name represents the family name to which the font belongs. This name allows the user to regroup fonts by family; the following parameter permits the user to characterize a font within its family.
    
4. \NORMAL, \BOLD, \ITALIC, \BOLD-ITALIC: these represent a font's characteristics (normal, bold, italic, bold-italic) in relation to its family.
    
5. \DOWNLOAD: indicates that the font must be added to the Postscript file. If your printer contains this font it is not advised to use this parameter because the Postscript file generated will be much larger. Consult the printer's manual to find out which fonts are available. A Level One Postscript printer contains at least the following thirteen basic fonts:
    
   • Times (normal, italic, bold, bold-italic) 
   • Courier (normal, italic, bold, bold-italic)
   • Helvetica (normal, italic, bold, bold-italic)
   • Symbol
      
6. The last parameter corresponds to the filename containing the font. Both ".pfa" and ".pfb" files are accepted. ".pfc" files are fonts which cannot be loaded into the printer (the \DOWNLOAD parameter does not work). These fonts must already be present in your printer.
   It is to be noted that the access route is not disclosed because it is defined by environmental variables (see Installation).
