Postscript Fonts

It is easy to write a document that has postscript fonts. We have package support for helvetica (helvetic), utopia, times, optima, newcentury (newcentu), palatino and courier. To use palatino, for instance, all you need to do is add

\usepackage{palatino}

to your file. The pifont package has special commands for using the Zapf Dingbats font. \dingfill{40} completes the line with the specified symbol 40

and \dingline{36} draws a whole line of symbols. 36

It's a good idea to use a font that's installed in the printer you intend to use. See the table on page for information about the teaching system's ljmr1 printer.
