Text Formatting ⇒ Extend a new Command with Boldface and a certain Font

[thedoctor818]

I am using my own variant of the liturg.sty file. I wish to alter the following

Code: Select all

\newcommand\rub[1]{%
\noindent\small\textcolor{red}{#1}\\% 
}

so that each time I call:

Code: Select all

\rub

I then get the enclosed text not only small, and red, but additionaly--boldface, and in Zapf Chancery Font. I understand the coding for boldface text, and that for Zapf Chancery, I believe is:

Code: Select all

{\fontfamily{qzc}\selectfont <foo>}

But, I am not certain as to how to combine this with the previous newcommand \rub, such that the "foo" below

Code: Select all

\rub{foo}

has all of the properties I am asking for. Thanks a bunch for any help anyone can be. -MD

This foe example could be a start:

\newcommand\rub[1]{%
\noindent\small\fontfamily{qzc}\selectfont\texbtbf{\textcolor{red}{#1}}\\%
}

Stephen, when I tried your "foe" example, I did the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\newcommand\rub[1]{%
\noindent\normalsize\fontfamily{qzc}\selectfont\texbtbf{\textcolor{red}{#1}}\\%
}

\begin{document}

\rub{Christ is Risen.}

\end{document}

However, I keep getting the error message:
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `T1/qzc/m/n' in size <12> not available
and

(Font) Font shape `T1/qzc/m/it' tried instead on input line 13.


As well as:

Undefined control sequence on the line using \rub. I am not sure what is wrong??? Help, please. Thanks. -MD

Regarding the font warning: there's no bold Zapf Chancery shape. You could use italic, for example.

Since you didn't write \textbf correctly, an error message "Undefined control sequence" came up. And your example did not load the color package, which is required for \textcolor.

This works:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\newcommand\rub[1]{%
\noindent\normalsize\fontfamily{qzc}\itshape\selectfont\textcolor{red}{#1}\\%
}
\begin{document}
\rub{Christ is Risen.}
\end{document}
