The standard families are :FIX, :DUTCH, and :SWISS. The standard faces
are :ROMAN, :ITALIC, :BOLD, and :BOLD-ITALIC. The standard sizes are
:VERY-SMALL, :SMALL, :NORMAL, :LARGE, and :VERY-LARGE.
However, some of these are not supported on the LGP-1 or the DMP1;
all of them are supported on the LGP-2; I believe this is a deficiency.
I'd like to add that for all of the sixty styles defined by the
combinations of the above, there is a defined screen font. All of the
screen fonts contain all the right characters, the baselines are now set
consistently, and so forth. This is also a real advance over previous
releases. :DUTCH and :SWISS are basically what people often call "Times
Roman" and "Helvetica", but those names are protected by copyright, so
we use the more generic names (as most companies do). I hope this is helpful.
