# speedata Publisher defaults

The speedata Publisher defines some default settings that can be changed in the layout file. These defaults concern the colors, fonts and page size and margins.

## Fonts

The distribution includes the free font family TeXGyreHeros, a high quality clone of Helvetica. It comes in the variants regular, bold, italic and bolditalic. It is defined as follows:

    <LoadFontfile
           name="TeXGyreHeros-Regular"
           filename="texgyreheros-regular.otf" />
    <LoadFontfile
           name="TeXGyreHeros-Bold"
           filename="texgyreheros-bold.otf" />
    <LoadFontfile
           name="TeXGyreHeros-Italic"
           filename="texgyreheros-italic.otf" />
    <LoadFontfile
           name="TeXGyreHeros-BoldItalic"
           filename="texgyreheros-bolditalic.otf" />

    <LoadFontfile
           name="CamingoCode-Bold"
           filename="CamingoCode-Bold.ttf" />
    <LoadFontfile
           name="CamingoCode-BoldItalic"
           filename="CamingoCode-BoldItalic.ttf" />
    <LoadFontfile
           name="CamingoCode-Italic"
           filename="CamingoCode-Italic.ttf" />
    <LoadFontfile
           name="CamingoCode-Regular"
           filename="CamingoCode-Regular.ttf" />

    <LoadFontfile
           name="CrimsonPro-Bold"
           filename="CrimsonPro-Bold.ttf" />
    <LoadFontfile
           name="CrimsonPro-BoldItalic"
           filename="CrimsonPro-BoldItalic.ttf" />
    <LoadFontfile
           name="CrimsonPro-Italic"
           filename="CrimsonPro-Italic.ttf" />
    <LoadFontfile
           name="CrimsonPro-Regular"
           filename="CrimsonPro-Regular.ttf" />

The corresponding font family is defined as:

    <DefineFontfamily name="text" fontsize="10" leading="12">
      <Regular    fontface="TeXGyreHeros-Regular"/>
      <Bold       fontface="TeXGyreHeros-Bold"/>
      <Italic     fontface="TeXGyreHeros-Italic"/>
      <BoldItalic fontface="TeXGyreHeros-BoldItalic"/>
    </DefineFontfamily>

and since the font family named text is taken as the default for the paragraphs, without any change the text appears in Helvetica 10pt/12pt. With re-defining the font family text you can change the document font.

The font aliases are defined for the default font:

- `TeXGyreHeros-Regular` -> sans

- `TeXGyreHeros-Bold` -> sans-bold

- `TeXGyreHeros-Italic` -> sans-italic

- `TeXGyreHeros-BoldItalic` -> sans-bolditalic

- `CrimsonPro-Regular` -> serif

- `CrimsonPro-Bold` -> serif-bold

- `CrimsonPro-Italic` -> serif-italic

- `CrimsonPro-BoldItalic` -> serif-bolditalic

- `CamingoCode-Regular` -> monospace

- `CamingoCode-Bold` -> monospace-bold

- `CamingoCode-Italic` -> monospace-italic

- `CamingoCode-BoldItalic` -> monospace-bolditalic
