SetFont

Set the text font and attributes in a RastPort.

Declaration

Source position: agraphics.pas line 2384

function SetFont(

rp: pRastPort;

const textFont: pTextFont

):LongInt;

Arguments

`rp`		The RastPort in which the text attributes are to be changed
`textFont`		pointer to a TextFont structure returned from OpenFont() or OpenDiskFont

Description

This function sets the font in the RastPort to that described by font, and updates the text attributes to reflect that change. This function clears the effect of any previous soft styles.

This function had previously been documented that it would accept a null font. This practice is discouraged.

Use of a RastPort with a null font with text routines has always been incorrect and risked the guru.
Keeping an obsolete font pointer in the RastPort is no more dangerous than keeping a zero one there.
SetFont(rp, 0) causes spurious low memory accesses under some system software releases.

OpenFont		Get a pointer to a system font.
OpenDiskFont
StripFont		Remove the TextFontExtension from a font
