Font

Description   This unit contains the predefined subprograms that deal with fonts. Using these routines, you can display text in a selected font name, size and style on the screen. Note that output in a particular font is treated as graphics output.

All routines in the Font module are exported qualified (and thus must be prefaced with "Font.").

Details   There is a default font. You can draw in and obtain information about the default font by passing fontDefaultID to Font.Draw, Font.Width and Font.Sizes. The default font is the same font as is used by put in the output window.
