G. PostScript fonts used by GMT

GMT uses the standard 35 fonts that come with most PostScript laserwriters, as well as 4 Japanese fonts, for a total of 39. If your printer does not support some of these fonts, it will automatically substitute the default font (which is usually Courier). The following is a list of the GMT fonts:

Figure G.1: The standard 39 PostScript fonts recognized by GMT.

For the special fonts Symbol (12) and ZapfDingbats (34), see the octal charts in Appendix F. When specifying fonts in GMT, you can either give the entire font name or just the font number listed in this table. To change the fonts used in plotting basemap frames, see the man page for gmtdefaults. For direct plotting of text-strings, see the man page for pstext.
