Loading of tha macro package lsyntax.sty, i.e.

  \usepackage{lsyntax}
  
makes LaTeX use Linotype Syntax" as the default sans serif 
font family.

|  Notice that Syntax is supported with T1 (european) and
|  TS1 (textcompanion) encoding only, so you should issue
|  the commands
|
|    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
|    \usepackage{textcomp}
|
|  in the document preamble.  The obsolete OT1 encoding,
|  which is still the default with LaTeX, is _not_
|  supported.


Optional Scaling:

The Syntax fonts appear larger than many others, when used
with the same moninal size.  The macro package provides an
option to scale the Syntax fonts, in order to make blending
with other fonts easier.  For instance,

  \usepackage[scaled=0.92]{lsyntax}

will scale the Syntax fonts down to 92% of their nominal
size.  When the value is omitted, a default scale of 0.96 is
assumed:

  \usepackage[scaled]{lsyntax}



NFSS classification:

family  series  shape(s)  PostScript FontName
---------------------------------------------------------
lsx     m       n, it     SyntaxLT-Roman, SyntaxLT-Italic
lsx     b       n         SyntaxLT-Bold
lsx     eb      n         SyntaxLT-Black
lsx     ub      n         SyntaxLT-UltraBlack

Encodings:  T1 (Cork), TS1 (Textcompanion).  The TS1
encoding comprises only those gylphs that belong to the
ISO-Adobe character set, plus the \texteuro.
