Here is a brief summary of the FONT attribute, and FONT language support:

**FONT([typeface] [,size] [,color] [,style] [,charset ])**

The **FONT** attribute (PROP:FONT) specifies the default display font for controls.

**FONTDIALOG([title] ,typeface [,size] [,color] [,style] [,added] )**

The **FONTDIALOG** procedure displays the Windows standard font choice dialog box to allow the user to choose a font.

**FONTDIALOGA([title] ,typeface [,size] [,color] [,style] [,charset] [,added] )**

The **FONTDIALOGA** procedure displays the Windows standard font choice dialog box to allow the user to choose a font and character set.

**GETFONT( control [, typeface ] [, size ] [, color ] [, style ] [,charset])**

**GETFONT** gets the display font information for the //control//.

**SETFONT( control , [ typeface ] , [ size ] , [ color ] , [ style ] ,[charset])**

**SETFONT( window , [ typeface ] , [ size ] , [ color ] , [ style ] ,[charset])**

**SETFONT** dynamically specifies the display font for the //control//, overriding any FONT attribute. If the //control// parameter is zero (0), SETFONT specifies the default font for the window.

The parameters of each statement are nearly identical, and are described below:

| //title// | A string constant or variable containing the title to place on the font choice dialog. If omitted, a default //title// is supplied by Windows. |
| //control// | A field number or field equate label for the control to affect. If //control// is zero (0), it specifies the WINDOW. |
| //window// | Label of a WINDOW, APPLICATION or REPORT structure, or a value of the reference variable of the type &WINDOW, or a procedure parameter of the type WINDOW, or a built-in TARGET variable. |
| //typeface// | A string constant or variable containing the name of the font. If omitted, the system font is used. |
| //size// | A SREAL constant or variable containing the size (in points) of the font. If omitted, the system default font size is used. |
| //color// | A SIGNED integer constant or variable containing the red, green, and blue values for the color of the font in the low-order three bytes, or an EQUATE for a standard Windows color value. If omitted, black is used. |
| //style// | A SIGNED integer constant, constant expression, EQUATE, or variable specifying the strike weight and style of the font. If omitted, the weight is normal. |
| //charset// | A SIGNED integer variable specifying the character set value. |
| //added// | An integer constant or variable that specifies adding screen or printer fonts, or both, to the list of available fonts. Zero (0) adds screen fonts, one (1) adds printer fonts, and two (2) adds both. If omitted, only Windows registered fonts are listed. Not valid in Clarion#. |
