PRESCRIBE Command Reference
108
FONT — change current FONT
Format
FONT font-number;
Parameter
font-number:
number identifying the font
Function
The FONT command specifies a typeface for all text that follows.
The font-number should designate a resident bitmap font, a scalable font selected by the
SFNT command, or a nonresident font generated by the LDFC command or downloaded
from the computer. If an undefined font-number is specified, the font will not change. To
print a font list, use the FLST command.
For a bitmap font, depending on the font mode (FTMD) value, the FONT command also
sets the line and character spacing and page orientation to match the attributes of the
selected font. The scalable fonts, however, ignore the font mode setting. Line spacing
must be specified by the user in this case using one of the line spacing commands (SLS,
SLPI, etc.).
