As predicted, we have switched to 12-pitch as the default on the laser
printer, effective immediately.
When using `ms', italics will result from all requests such as `\fI' or
`.I'. To obtain underlining, the `.UL' request should be used. Alter-
natively, all italics can be overridden with the `-f 12U' option (font
12-pitch, underline). The normal command will be:
ms -p hpr file . . .
*or* ms -p hpr -f 12U file . . .
and for 10-pitch:
ms -p hpr -f 10 file . . .
Boldface and italics will be available in 10-pitch only by special
arrangement.
The default for `format' will remain underlining. The command is:
format -hp file . . .
and for 10-pitch:
format -hp -10 file . . .
