SetFont (2.x/3.x in C:)
NAME
SetFont - Allows user to specify the text font, size,
and style used in a particular shell window.
SYNOPSIS
SETFONT fontname fontsize [SCALE] [PROP] [ITALIC]
[BOLD] [UNDERLINE]
DESCRIPTION
You can use this program to change the System Default
Text font without using the System Font Prefrences
program.
KEYWORDS
fontname
The name of the font to install. It can be a system
bitmapped or scalable outline font.
fontsize
The point size of the font. A scalable outline font
will be scaled to fit that size. If a bitmapped of that
size does not exist then the next closest size will be
used.
SCALE
This enables bitmapped scaling. In other words, if
you specify a font size that does not exist then one will
be created from the characters of the next closest size.
PROP
The optional keyword that lets you use proportional
fonts. If you try to use a proportional font without this
keyword then you will get an error message that says:
'Object not of required type'. Warning: There are some
proportional fonts that will not print correctly in a
console window.
ITALIC
Prints the font in the italic format.
BOLD
Prints the font in the bold format.
UNDERLINE
Prints the font underlined.
EXAMPLES:
1. To change the font to a scaled version of Seista font
which is 12 points high:
SETFONT Seista 12 SCALE
2. To change the font in the current shell to a bold
underlined version of the proportional Ruby font,
16 points high:
SETFONT Ruby 16 BOLD UNDERLINE PROP
