BBj-Specific Information
For this topic's original documentation, see the FONT
Mnemonic - Set Plotter Text Font
The 'FONT' mnemonic selects the font to be used by the current text tool.
A .sft file is no longer needed to use fonts in the plotter device. The
plotter FONT mnemonic is almost identical to the SYSGUI FONT mnemonic.

Parameter |
Description |
|
0 |
Defines the SYSPLOT window drawing surface for font selection. |
|
family |
Name of the font family. To use the current font family, use an empty string (""). This allows only the size or style to be changed. On all systems, five family names behave the same everywhere. These five "portable" font family names are "fixed", "helvetica", "courier", "system", and "times" (lower case only). Any valid font family name for the GUI system in use may be used, such as "Courier New" under MS Windows, but these may not work without modification when moved to other platforms supporting Visual PRO/5. |
|
size |
Desired point size. To keep the current point size, use -1. This allows only the font family or style to be changed. |
|
style |
A bit-masked
integer (passed as an integer, not as a string). The logic operator
OR can be used to make a combination of valid style bits or -1
can be used to keep the same style and change only the current
font family name or size. (Note that the "system" font
is implicitly bold.) The valid style bits are: Bold $01$ |
Fonts available for the plotter are the same as those available for SYSGUI.
