FONT (Select a font)

The FONT command sets a new font to be used for subsequent text and numbers.

Command Syntax:

Command Parameters:

name	The name of the font. The font may either be any True Type font installed on the computer, or may be selected from the available Geosoft stroke fonts. To select a True Type font, add "(TT)" to the font name. For example: FONT "Time New Roman(TT)". By default, the font type is assumed to be a Geosoft stroke font. Stroke font sets are defined in GFN files, which are located in the GEOSOFT directory and have extension GFN. The following stroke fonts are available:
	Sr	simplex roman
	Ss	simplex script
	Cr	complex roman
	Ci	complex italic
	Tr	triplex roman
	Ti	triplex italic
	Dr	duplex roman
	Cs	complex script
	Sg	simplex Greek
	Cg	complex Greek
	Es	equal-spaced simplex roman
	Fast	fast but ugly
	Russian	a simple Cyrillic font

If a Geosoft font name conflicts with a True Type font name, the Geosoft font can be specified explicitly by adding "(GFN)" to the font name. For example:

Example:

The FONT command causes an attribute override to be used whenever text is placed in the plot file.

This loads font file CR.GFN (Complex Roman) and then plots subsequent text using this font.

This command is part of the MAPPLOT GX.
