SetFontProperties

Syntax

SetFontProperties(var,"font","weight","angle","underline");

var	A variable that defines a font. You specify the attributes that is to be changed, and leave the other attributes empty (""). If no variable is available, you can use a dummy variable. The dummy variable does not have to have a value. For this variable, you must specify all attributes.
font	The basic font name as specified in the driver file. Note: The font name must not include any information about the style of the font, such as weight, angle or underline.
weight	Specifies whether the font is bold (True) or regular (False).
angle	Specifies whether the font is italic (True) or regular (False).
underline	Specifies whether the font is underlined (True) or not underlined (False).

Description

Specifies a font. For example, when using a variable alias for font formatting, you use this scripting function to assign a font to the font variable.

When the script is executed, the specified font (*.ttf) must be available on the system on which the StreamServer is running. To make the font available, you can either create a text with the specified font in PageOUT and export your Project, or you can manually copy the file to the <Export directory>\data\fonts directory.

Returns

A font name, defined in an internal StreamServe format.

Example

$font=SetFontProperties($dummy,"Arial","False","False","False");
// Sets $font to Arial, regular weight and angle, not underlined.

if ($country="ENG")
    $fontENG=SetFontProperties($font,"","True","True","");
// Changes the weight and angle of $font.

if ($country="SWE")
    $fontSWE=SetFontProperties($font "","","","True");
// Underlines $font.
