Synopsis

&CFONT

Description

Controls the character font of all text.

NOTE: Modifying the CFONT GPA modifies all of the default fonts applicable to the drafting object, such as main text font, appended text font, etc. It is possible that within the text itself, there might be additional font control codes. Any internal character font control codes override the default font. For example, a note might have the default text font Blockfont, but there might be part of the text which has control codes changing the font of that part to Oldenglish. If the &CFONT statement is used to modify the default text font of the note, the part of the text which is Oldenglish will not change. See Appendix A of the Drafting Reference Manual for more information about the control codes which may exist in drafting text.

There are individual text preferences for dimension main text, appended text, tolerance text and drafting aid text. The Write option for this GPA sets all of these preferences. The Read option can only return one of these preferences. It returns the last preference that was modified. For example, if the DIMPAR command is used to set the preferences from a Note, then the GPA returns the text preferences for drafting aid text. If the DIMPAR command is used to set the preferences from a dimension, then the GPA returns the text preferences for dimension main text.
