Fonts


A font is a reference to a system font. Fonts are used in many objects to display text. The user can choose a new
font using the tools provided. A new screen is equipped with one fixed width and one variable width default fonts
with three sizes each, making six font definitions.

The Font selector is the common dialog for fonts. All available system fonts are listed; all possible styles and sizes for
the selected font are selectable here, as well. Users should be careful of using very unusual fonts, as every computer
must have the font on the system to use the selected font. Installing fonts is easy, but it is just one more detail.
Among the most readable variable width fonts are MS Sans Serif and Arial. Courier is a good choice in fixed width
fonts.
