<p>The <code class="code">FAM</code> string, a GNU extension, sets the font family for body
text; the default is ‘<samp class="samp">T</samp>’. The <code class="code">PS</code> and <code class="code">VS</code> registers
set the type size and vertical spacing (distance between text
baselines), respectively. The font family and type size are ignored on
terminal devices. Setting these parameters before the first call of a
heading, paragraphing, or (non-date) document description macro also
applies them to headers, footers, and (for <code class="code">FAM</code>) footnotes.
</p>
<p>Which font families are available depends on the output device; as a
convention, <code class="code">T</code> selects a serif family (“Times”), <code class="code">H</code> a
sans-serif family (“Helvetica”), and <code class="code">C</code> a monospaced family
(“Courier”). The man page for the output driver documents its font
repertoire. Consult the <cite class="cite">groff<span class="r">(1)</span></cite> man page for lists of
available output devices and their drivers.
</p>
<p>The hyphenation mode (as used by the <code class="code">hy</code> request) is set from the
<code class="code">HY</code> register. Setting <code class="code">HY</code> to ‘<samp class="samp">0</samp>’ is equivalent to
using the <code class="code">nh</code> request. This is a Tenth Edition Research Unix
extension.
