To choose a specific font for the text assigned to a dialog element
(for example, the caption on a push button control)
Use the dialog element's attributes window.
Choose the push button control to the right of the Font entry. A dialog box opens.
From the list of available fonts, select a font type, for example Times New Roman.
From the list of styles available for the font type, select a font style, for example italics.
From the list of sizes available for the font type and style, select a font size, for example 10. A sample of your selected font will be displayed.
To set it: Close the attributes window.
Note:
When adding centered or right-aligned text in a dialog element, the
following minimum heights of the dialog element apply
(RECTANGLE-H attribute): 4-point font - height
of 8; 8-point - 22; 12-point - 24.
Additionally, the dialog editor allows selecting a font for the whole
dialog in the dialog attributes window. This font is defined in the
FONT-STRING attribute
and is valid for the dialog and each of its children. A major advantage of
selecting a font for the whole dialog is that if the chosen font is too large
or too small for the dialog layout, you change the
FONT-STRING attribute
once instead of going through all children of the dialog.
Initially, the FONT-STRING attribute
must be set as a parameter while the dialog is being created with PROCESS
GUI action ADD. If a dialog element inside the
dialog contains text with no particular font assigned to it, this text will be
displayed in the font specified by
FONT-STRING.
