Creating Font Files
To create a font file:
1. Click the New Font tool on the tool bar or choose New Font from
the File menu.
The Locale list box contains a list of font available definitions.
Available character sizes change with the font selection.
Each font definition has a name. If the font has a subtype its
name appears in parentheses, for example, Chinese (Simplified).
Similar to the standard text sizes in
PanelBuilder, the width of the
available sizes are multiples of 8.
The sizes you select will be
available in PanelBuilder (within
parentheses), in addition to the
standard text sizes.
2. From the Locale list, select a font definition.
3. Under Available Sizes, select (or deselect) the character sizes you
want to store in the font file and make available in your
PanelBuilder application.
Deselecting character sizes will reduce the amount of storage
required for the font file on the computer and memory card.
4. Click OK.
The Font dialog opens, allowing you to select a style for the font.
You must select a style that is compatible with the font definition.
For example, if you selected Chinese (Simplified):
•
a Chinese font must reside on the computer
•
the appropriate code page must reside on the system.
•
run the IME program with the appropriate Chinese language
selected.
If your system is running a Chinese version of Windows, an IME
is not required; the correct code page is automatically available.
