Function:
Defines an 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.
For each font family, the administrator 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:
TrueType fonts are not defined in this way, these use the TTFONT element.
