Thanks Richard,
My code, and yours, work well assuming the charcter style is applied to body
text or something of a similar size. However, if applied to a section
heading, it will print out at 12 point when the rest of the section heading
prints out at 24 point or whatever.
In other words, I'm looking for a way to make something like the cmff
equivalent of \texttt{text} or \textsf{text}.
Thanks
