&lt;p&gt;Does anyone know what is the TypeMK modifier for (font) size?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purple square below gets rendered as the copyright symbol in green foreground and purple background in Maple's Standard GUI. But I suppose that rendering via Mapleprimes's maplenet may not handle that.&lt;/p&gt;

      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;You may try something like:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;Typesetting:-mi("x",fontstyle = "italic",fontweight = "bold",mathcolor = "#c800c8",&lt;br&gt;size="18");
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It produces an italic "x" in a bold large font and violet colour.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

If I were to make a table of a range of Unicode characters, what would be a good of font that is likely to have most of them? I can fit 1024 characters into a table such as the one above, though the display of indexing numbers would not be as convenient. I could make a procedure that displays a given range in a given font.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

I note that your command does not select a font; it is the bold italic of the standard font.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Could you write a post about the undocumented commands in that package, or provide a pointer to some other reference material? It is mostly the commands whose names begin with lowercase m. Just an explanation of what names like &lt;strong&gt;mi&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;mo&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;mrow&lt;/strong&gt; stand for would be very helpful.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

      <link>http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/144085-A-Reference-Chart-For-Symbol--Character-Plotting?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:A reference chart for symbol &amp; character plotting:Comments#comment144159</link>
      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;This is interesting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Carl, I'm no expert but Times New Roman might be a place to start with a unicode chart, or Courier New. The former is what M16.02 uses for 2D Math output on my Windows 7, and the latter is what it uses for my 1D input. Or so it seems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alejandro, thanks very much. This works for me, then.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;unicode:=(s::string)-&amp;gt;cat(`&amp;amp;#`,sscanf(s,"%x")[],`;`):
T:=unicode("00A9"):
Typesetting:-mi(cat(T,` `),fontweight="bold",
                mathcolor="#c800c8",size="50");
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you may have guessed, I was thinking more about a size modifier for the MathML-like atomic-identifier-like names than I was about Typesetting calls. Your suggestion involving calls to Typesetting gets what I was after, thank you, but I still wonder about another form.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Actually the italic font is selected by the &lt;strong&gt;mi&lt;/strong&gt; export, so that you could write simply:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;Typesetting:-mi("x",fontweight = "bold",mathcolor = "#c800c8",
size="18");
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and get the same output. Similarly, the &lt;strong&gt;mo&lt;/strong&gt; export produces output in roman (upright) font, even with the "italic" modifier:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;Typesetting:-mo("x",fontstyle = "italic",fontweight = "bold",mathcolor = "#c800c8",
size="18");
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No, I think that there is no useful reference documentation on the &lt;strong&gt;Typesetting&lt;/strong&gt; package and TypeMK. Paulina has written here several times in the past telling that this is "work in progress", i.e. subject to change, so that they it will not be documented. So, along the years I have collected a somewhat large amount of "experimental" material on these subjects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are two reasons why I will not write a post on this subject in the short term. 1. Scarcity of time to organize this material into a readable form. 2. I am in "protest mode" (using my protest user name) since the current version of this forum was introduced in early June 2010, as it is a big disaster and the administrators do not show any serious intention of change (I have explained in detail my reasons several times, mainly shortly after that date, and occasionally since then). So, I am writing here only on a few specific subjects and for a few specific purposes. In particular, I am not writing "posts".&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>
