Comments

Font parameters in Normal and Execute modes do not affect the fonts that

have already been established and saved on a form.

Font commands issued in the Create mode affect only the current form

being created and not any of the fonts on other forms or for Execute or

Normal mode text.

You can use any or all Font parameters, listed in any order, in a single Font

command. (Do not list font parameters on separate lines.) Parameters and

symbol sets not specified retain the previously selected value. Parameters

incorrectly specified retain the previously selected value.
