The file fonttext.cfg
can contain declarations relating to the use
of fonts in text modes.
If it exists, it defines which font shapes, families and encodings are
normally used in text mode, as well as the behavior of font attribute
commands such as \textbf
etc.
It could be used, for example, to produce a LATEX format that, by
default, typesets documents using Times fonts. Be warned, however,
that such customisation can have unfortunate consequences; so please
read carefully this section and the file fontdef.dtx
below if you
are thinking of doing this.
Please note that use of this configuration file has the following
consequences.
- Since the content of this file might change in
the future, anyone writing such a configuration file must be
prepared to update it for use with future releases.
- Documents produced on your system are likely, at best, to be
portable only in the sense of being processable at a different
site--the actual formatting will not be the same if different
fonts are used.
- The LATEX3 project team will not be able to support you in
diagnosing problems if these cannot be reproduced with a format
that does not use any configuration files.
