For its family/style mechanism to work (see <a class="pxref" href="Font-Families.html">Font Families</a>), +the names of fonts within a family should start with the family name, +followed by the style. For example, the Times family uses ‘<samp class="samp">T</samp>’ for +the family name and ‘<samp class="samp">R</samp>’, ‘<samp class="samp">B</samp>’, ‘<samp class="samp">I</samp>’, and ‘<samp class="samp">BI</samp>’ to +indicate the styles ‘roman’, ‘bold’, ‘italic’, and ‘bold italic’, +respectively. Thus the final font names are ‘<samp class="samp">TR</samp>’, ‘<samp class="samp">TB</samp>’, +‘<samp class="samp">TI</samp>’, and ‘<samp class="samp">TBI</samp>’. +</p> +<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-font-path"></a> +<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-path_002c-for-font-files"></a> +<p>Font description files are kept in <em class="dfn">font directories</em>, which +together constitute the <em class="dfn">font path</em>.

Assuming TeX DVI output, and +<samp class="file">/foo/bar</samp> as a font directory, the font description files for +<code class="command">grodvi</code> must be in <samp class="file">/foo/bar/devdvi</samp>. +Each directory in the font path is searched in the following order until +the desired font description file is found or the list is exhausted. +</p> +<ul class="itemize mark-bullet"> +<li>Directories specified with GNU <code class="code">troff</code>’s or <code class="code">groff</code>’s +<samp class="option">-f</samp> command-line option.
