Changing Text Font

You can change text font for emphasis using the formatting code string:

{$Font=name text}

where name is one of the following:

Courier
defaultFont
Dialog
Helvetica
Symbol
TimesRoman

Note that formatting code strings are not case sensitive. There must be one-or-more blanks (or an equals sign ("=")) that will not display between the "FONT" and the font name. There must be one-or-more blank spaces that will not display between the font name and the text to be displayed in that font. Blank spaces following the first non-blank character in the text will display. Format code strings must begin and end in the same text string - they cannot span a line break. (See also Changing the Default Font.)

Example:

\TITLE
Text Size Demo
\TF A T
This is {$FONT=Courier a different font} from 
{$FONT=TimesRoman this}.
