- 6.3.2 SELECT SOFTFONT
-
-
- The SELECT SOFTFONT command is used to select a new softfont data file or to
- list the name of the currently selected softfont data file.
-
- All commands that access a softfont definition always access the softfont
- data from the currently selected softfont data file. Different softfont data
- files can be constructed to suit different types of drawings. This can be
- more efficient than keeping one large softfont data file as it decreases
- the access time required to find a softfont definition.
-
- Only one softfont data file can be active at one time. Therefore a drawing
- should only have references to softfonts contained in a single data file.
- The name of a selected softfont data file is stored with the drawing so it
- is automatically reselected when the drawing is recalled.
-

-
- NAME The name of a softfont data file to select. If the file

- characters.
