GRAPHIC FONT

Note:

This command may be discontinued in a future release. We highly recommend that you no longer use this command. To take advantage of newer Production Reporting functionality, use ALTER‑PRINTER and DECLARE‑PRINTER to set the FONT, FONT‑TYPE, POINT‑SIZE, and PITCH.

Function

Changes a font.

Syntax

GRAPHIC  () 
FONT {font_number_int_lit|_var} [point_size_int_lit|_var[{1|0}
[pitch_int_lit|_var]]]

Arguments

font_number

For HP LaserJet printers, the specified font must be installed in the printer. For PostScript printers, the font must be defined in the POSTSCRI.STR file.

point_size

If the point_size is omitted, the size from the most recent DECLARE‑PRINTER or GRAPHIC FONT command is used.

[1|0]

This argument is for HP LaserJet printers only. It is needed only if you are using a font that Production Reporting does not know about. (See Table 34, Fonts Available for PostScript Printers under the DECLARE‑PRINTER command.) 1 indicates a proportional font, and 0 indicates a fixed pitch font. The default is proportional.

pitch

If the specified font is fixed pitch, you should also indicate the pitch in characters per inch.

Examples

The following example shows the GRAPHIC FONT command:

graphic () font  23  8.5   
graphic () font  6  12  0  10
graphic () font :#font_number :#point_size
