Roman is a medium-weight type good  for reading.  It is the default face for
TEXT1.   It is usually specified  as the default font at  the beginning of a
paper, so that it  will be in effect for most of the  paper.  Roman can also
be used to terminate the use of a special typeface, such as italic or bold.
