Sorry for being unclear-- everything you said makes sense.
I am indeed talking about the output file, but other than turning the header and footer on and off and specifying whether or not they are italicized or not, I can't seem to actually specify the font for the actual output header and footer.
I would be just as happy if I could just change the font SIZE. I much prefer the header output from libprs500, but it doesn't do footers-- and with BD, I can have both headers and footers, but I have to be okay with them being the larger default font.
I can change the options and attributes for all other text, titles, paragraphs, etc... but can't seem to control the attributes of the actual header and footer texts.
Maybe I'm being dense and missing something?
