The FONT message sets the font that is used for printing the main body of text. This is the font that is used by the ADDTABLE, TABLE, TEXT, TEXTBOX, TEXTCOL, and TEXTXY messages. To set the font for the header and footer use the FONTHEADFOOTmessage message. Call the FONT message multiple times to change the font during a printing session. The TEXTRTF message describes how to change the font in the middle of a line. The default font is 12 point Courier New.
