However, this list: [Serif] [SerifSlanted] [SerifItalic] [SerifCaps] [SerifSemiBold] [SerifSemiSlanted] [SerifSemiItalic] [SerifSemiCaps] %[SerifCapsSemi] ?? [SerifBold] [SerifBoldSlanted] [SerifBoldItalic] %[SerifCapsBold] ?? [SerifBlack]
And BlackItalic etc. and the same for Light. If you look at families like Univers or Neue Helvetica, there are: UltraLight/ExtraLight Thin Light Regular Medium Bold Heavy Black UltraBlack the same for condensed and expanded, and everytime with an oblique face.
It's tough: you can easily come up with 100+ styles for a single font, very legitimately, which suggests that perhaps a stricter parameterisation could be useful: 3 upright vs italic vs slanted (+ upright italic?)
and sometimes backward slanted
4 or 5 weights 2 roman vs caps (or oldstyle, other variants) x 4 optical sizes --- 96+ variations
plus Alternates plus Swash plus Outline plus... it never ends ;-) Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/
