Multiple Size faces in one document

Multiple Size faces in one document

[Thomas S. Atkins]

	All,

I am trying to do the above in Emacs version 21.2.1 and I can not find the
information in the manual. Is this possible?

Thanks for your help.

Type C-h i and look at any info file with headings.  You'll see that
the headings are in a larger font.  So it is possible.

I wonder whether enriched-mode helps.

Also try M-g.

I'm pretty sure it possible - if you look at info you will see it uses
faces of different sizes and even families. 

I'm not sure how you can do this interactively though. I guess you
could try defining a new face type and assign it a font of a different
size/colour/attribute/whatever and then include that face where you
want the different sized font. Also, check out the documentation for
fontmenu.

since v21, the display engine in Emacs is able to display different
font sizes. However, only a few elisp libraries have been updated to
take advantage of this functionality. Luckily it's pretty easy to add
support to enriched-mode.

Try loading the following code and using enriched-mode. This adds
basic support for the <bigger> and <smaller> tags in the text/enriched
format (RFC1896). To make text in the region larger, use "M-g +"; to
make it smaller, use "M-g -".

This code doesn't handle nested sizing tags correctly; stuff like

   <bigger><bigger>foo</bigger></bigger>

is handled like <bigger>foo</bigger>.


  
(require 'enriched)

(let ((display-translations (assq 'display enriched-translations)))
  (setcdr display-translations
          '(((height (+ 2)) "bigger")
            ((height (- 2)) "smaller")
            (nil enriched-handle-display-prop))))

(put 'display 'format-list-valued nil)

(defun facemenu-set-bigger (start end)
  (interactive "r")
  (add-text-properties start end '(display (height (+ 2)))))

(defun facemenu-set-smaller (start end)
  (interactive "r")
  (add-text-properties start end '(display (height (- 2)))))

(define-key facemenu-keymap [?+] 'facemenu-set-bigger)
(define-key facemenu-keymap [?-] 'facemenu-set-smaller)
