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>.
