The Faces submenu lists various Emacs faces including bold
,
italic
, and underline
. Selecting one of these adds the
chosen face to the region. See section J.1 Using Multiple Typefaces. You can also specify a face
with these keyboard commands:
default
face
(facemenu-set-default
).
bold
face
(facemenu-set-bold
).
italic
face
(facemenu-set-italic
).
bold-italic
face
(facemenu-set-bold-italic
).
underline
face
(facemenu-set-underline
).
facemenu-set-face
).
If you use these commands with a prefix argument--or, in Transient Mark mode, if the region is not active--then these commands specify a face to use for your next self-inserting input. See section H.2 Transient Mark Mode. This applies to both the keyboard commands and the menu commands.
Enriched mode defines two additional faces: excerpt
and
fixed
. These correspond to codes used in the text/enriched file
format.
The excerpt
face is intended for quotations. This face is the
same as italic
unless you customize it (see section AD.2.2.3 Customizing Faces).
The fixed
face means, "Use a fixed-width font for this part
of the text." This makes a visible difference only if you have
specified a variable-width font in the default face; however, even if
the default font is fixed-width, applying the fixed
face to a
part of the text will cause that part of the text to appear in a
fixed-width font, if the file is ever displayed with a variable-width
default font. This applies to Emacs and to other systems that display
text/enriched format. So if you specifically want a certain part of
the text to use a fixed-width font, you should specify the
fixed
face for that part.
The fixed
face is normally set up to use a different font
from the default, even if the default face is also fixed-width.
Different systems have different fonts installed, so you may need to
customize this. See section AD.2.2.3 Customizing Faces.
If your terminal cannot display different faces, you will not be able to see them, but you can still edit documents containing faces, and even add faces and colors to documents. The faces you specify will be visible when the file is viewed on a terminal that can display them.
