This section gives a list of all characters that are assigned full names in Publicon Version 1.0. The list is ordered alphabetically by full name. The standard Publicon fonts support all of the characters in the list. There are a total of 721 characters in the list. aaa stands for aaa.
Aliases
Publicon supports both its own system of aliases, as well as aliases based on character names in TeX and SGML or HTML. Except where they conflict, character names corresponding to plain TeX, LaTeX and AMSTeX are all supported. Note that TeX and SGML or HTML aliases are not given explicitly in the list of characters below.
Types of aliases.
The following general conventions are used for all aliases:
• Characters that are alternatives to standard keyboard operators use these operators as their aliases (e.g. for , && for ). • Most single-letter aliases stand for Greek letters. • Capital-letter characters have aliases beginning with capital letters. • When there is ambiguity in the assignment of aliases, a space is inserted at the beginning of the alias for the less common character (e.g. for \[Rule] and for \[RightArrow]). • ! is inserted at the beginning of the alias for a Not character. • TeX aliases begin with a backslash \. • SGML aliases begin with an ampersand &. • User-defined aliases conventionally begin with a dot or comma.
Font Matching
The special fonts provided with Publicon include all the characters given in this listing. Some of these characters also appear in certain ordinary text fonts. When rendering text in a particular font, the Publicon notebook front end will use all the characters available in that font. It will use the special Publicon fonts only for other characters. A choice is made between Times-like, Helvetica-like (sans serif) and Courier-like (monospaced) variants to achieve the best matching with the ordinary text font in use.
