To enlarge or reduce titles, type:

at the start of the text on the tt statements, where number is a percentage. The standard size is 100 (that is, 100%).

To define the font in which the a title should be printed, type:

at the start of the text on the tt statements. number is the number of the font you want to use as it is defined in the font table.

Table titles defined on different parts of the table, for example, a ttl followed by a ttc, are printed on the same line. A new-line is produced when a subsequent title is defined for the same position as a previous one, for example, a ttr followed by a ttr. The texts are not checked as to whether there is sufficient space to fit them in. Therefore, the user must check whether this is likely and control the production of a new-line by means of blank tt statements.

All numbers and texts in a table are printed in a standard size using the fonts you request, as explained below. Text defined on tt and n03 statements may be enlarged or reduced in size by preceding the text with the notation:

n is a percentage. The table title on the sample landscape table was generated by the statement:

#s150 prints it at 150% of the rest of the table text. A similar n03 statement might read:

Quantum has a standard set of fonts that it uses for printing tables. The default is Helvetica. These fonts are declared in a font table; they are represented by a number based on the position of that font in the table. The first font in the table is font 0.

To print titles in a different font, type:

in front of the text on the tt or n03 statement.

For example:

prints the title in font 2. If you use Quantum’s standard fonts, this is Helvetica Bold.
