- Hi Greg,
-
- You can use this little program to determine what font is on a
- public screen. It sends the info to stdout so you've got a few options to
- get the info into your ARexx scripts.
-
- 1) Use the sys:rexxc/rxset command and backticks to put the output
- in the ARexx clip list. Then use the getclip() function to get
- the contents.
-
- 2) Use WShell's ExecIO command and pipes to do it in a single line.
- This is the simplest method by far.
-
- 3) Use the AmigaDOS SetEnv command and backticks to put the output
- in an environment variable. Then use the rexxarplib GetEnv()
- function to get the contents.
-
- 4) Re-direct it into a file with the AmigaDOS ">" operator.
- Then open the file and read the contents.
-
- Let me know if you find this usefull or have problems. It worked fine
- during a short testing period on my machine.
