FONTFAMILY (Font definition)
Function:
Defines a AVEVA font family.
Description:
Defines a font family in terms of a character set and a style, or in terms of a file. If a file is specified, a bold version of the same font family can also be specified. Sloping text can be produced.
The directory where the font files are to be found must be specified using the FONTDIRECTORY command.
The macro makemac.mac supplied with AVEVA E3D™ includes the following commands:
FONTF 1 UK STYLE 1
FONTF 2 UK STYLE 2
FONTF 3 UK STYLE 3
FONTF 4 UK STYLE 4
FONTD /%AVEVA_DESIGN_EXE%
For each font family, you can define an angle of slope between -85 and +85 degrees inclusive. The text can be sloped forwards (positive angles) and backwards (negative angles).
Note:
True-Type fonts are not defined in this way, these use the TTFONT element.

FONTFAMILY font_no IR ir_no STYLE style_no ANGLE angle
