Hi,
What about:
light \lf
medium \mf
if medium is \tf (as it is now),
semibold \sf
bold \bf
lightitalic \li
italic \it
then italic could be \ti, and all four would be consistent:
(l|t|s|b)(t|i)
(but I may have missed some reason why this will not work)
Greetings, Taco
semibold italic \si
bold ita
also, whatever system we cook up ... there are so many bold variants
nowadays in some fonts ... in practice one will not mix semi bold and
bold in a running text, so again, this can be done by typefaces as well:
\definetypeface[normalface] [...]
\definetypeface[bolderface] [...]
\definetypeface[

I'm used to them being called lf: lining figures. But othe

I generally agree with Adam, fonts are very varios. But the next Idris
idea is nice. More intuitive then \sc, \bc, \ic, and \bic. I would vote
for it, but ... at

I forgot to mention one of the most important advantages of implementing an
