typesetting.mom uses N and P for variety (demonstrating families), but where either is used, T is an acceptable substitute. There's no reason to use H as the replacement. With trivial tweaks, both the original and the Times Roman versions produce identical layouts. typesetting.mom currently has this: .ie '\*[.T]'ps' \ .FAM N \" New Century Schoolbook family .el .if '\*[.T]'pdf' \ .FAM U-N Is replacing the whole block (and the corresponding block for P) with .ie F NR .FAM N .el .FAM T sufficient, or do '\*[.T]'ps' and '\*[.T]'pdf' still need to be handled separately? -- Peter Schaffter https://www.schaffter.ca
