NAME

       "LaTeXML::Font" - representation of fonts, along with the specialization "LaTeXML::MathFont".

DESCRIPTION

       This module defines Font objects.  I'm not completely happy with the arrangement, or maybe just the use of it, so I'm not going to document
       extensively at this point.

       "LaTeXML::Font" and "LaTeXML::MathFont" represent fonts (the latter, fonts in math-mode, obviously) in LaTeXML.

       The attributes are

	family : serif, sansserif, typewriter, caligraphic,
		 fraktur, script
	series : medium, bold
	shape  : upright, italic, slanted, smallcaps
	size   : tiny, footnote, small, normal, large,
		 Large, LARGE, huge, Huge
	color  : any named color, default is black

       They are usually merged against the current font, attempting to mimic the, sometimes counter-intuitive, way that TeX does it,  particularly
       for math

   "LaTeXML::MathFont"
       "LaTeXML::MathFont" supports "$font-"specialize($string);> for computing a font reflecting how the specific $string would be printed when
       $font is active; This (attempts to) handle the curious ways that lower case greek often doesn't get a different font.  In particular, it
       recognizes the following classes of strings: single latin letter, single uppercase greek character, single lowercase greek character,
       digits, and others.
