Font Identifier String

Qualifier Meaning Other Info
\F Font identifier (name of font directory) Space/control terminated
\f Territory number, space, font name (in the current territory’s language and alphabet) Control terminated
\E Font Encoding Identifier Control terminated
\e Territory number, space, encoding name Control terminated
\m Font Transformation Matrix, 6 1/1000^th^ em values as decimal signed integers. The first four are actually interprested as fixed point fractions of the form &XXXX-XXXX All six em values must be followed by a space

Use

The font identifier is the name of the font directory as it appears in Font$Path. The font name (given by \f) is ignored by the Font Manager, but returned in the *Font 'n' not found error message if the territory number matches the current territory.

Notes

If the string does not start with ‘\’ it is assumed to be a font name (i.e. \F is implicitly prepended).
