XPRINT_SetFont(hFont)

 

Returns

 

None

 

Parameters

 

Name

Type

Optional

Meaning

hFont

Number

No

The numeric handle returned by the Font_New statement when the font was created

 

Remarks

 

The font specified by hFont is selected to be used by XPRINT statements. This is the most efficient way to change fonts and their general appearance (size, style, etc.).

 

You can predefine any number of fonts and attributes by executing Font_New statements for each of them. That makes them ready for immediate use when selected by XPRINT_SetFont.

 

Prior to any XPRINT operations, a specific printer must first be selected with XPRINT_Attach.

 

If no specific font is selected, the default font is Courier New with no style attributes.

If you specify a hFont of zero, the font is changed back to the original default font.
