RESULT

Just for amusement, this is the result when running the commands shown above. Note that the bold and italic text snippets do not rely on <i> <b> <font> hints or some similar style markup, instead they use different codepoints from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols unicode blocks. Likewise fraktur and greek and double stroke characters are used often in the field of mathematics. The sans and mono are rarely used however.
