GRAPHIC FONT

You should no longer use this command because it may be discontinued in a future release. To use the newer SQR functionality, use ALTER-PRINTER and DECLARE-PRINTER to set the FONT, FONT-TYPE, POINT-SIZE, and PITCH.

Syntax

Use this syntax:

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

Description

Changes a font.

Parameters

Field or Control	Description
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.

Field or Control	Description
point_size	If point_size is omitted, the size from the most recent DECLARE-PRINTER or GRAPHIC FONT command is used.

Field or Control	Description
{1|0}	This argument is for HP LaserJet printers only. It is needed only if you are using a font that SQR does recognize. (See the fonts that are listed as being available for HP LaserJet printers in SQR in the DECLARE-PRINTER section of the topic “SQR Command Reference.”) A 1 indicates a proportional font, and a 0 indicates a fixed-pitch font. The default is proportional.

Field or Control	Description
pitch	If the specified font is fixed pitch, also indicate the pitch in characters per inch.

Example

For example:

graphic () font  23  8.5      ! Century Schoolbook, 8.5 points
graphic () font  6  12  0  10 ! Letter Gothic, 12 points, 
                              ! fixed, 10 characters per inch
graphic () font :#font_number :#point_size

See ALTER-PRINTER and DECLARE-PRINTER for information about setting and changing the FONT, FONT-TYPE, POINT-SIZE, and PITCH.
