|
| 10 | <code>SetFont(<b>string</b> family [, <b>string</b> style [, <b>float</b> size]])</code>
|
| 11 | <h2>Description</h2>
|
| 12 | Sets the font used to print character strings. It is mandatory to call this method at least once before printing text.
|
| 13 | <br>
|
| 14 | <br>
|
| 15 | The font can be either a standard one or a font added by the AddFont() method. Standard fonts
|
| 16 | use the Windows encoding cp1252 (Western Europe).
|
| 17 | <br>
|
| 18 | <br>
|
| 19 | The method can be called before the first page is created and the font is kept from page to page.
|
| 20 | <br>
|
| 21 | <br>
|
| 22 | If you just wish to change the current font size, it is simpler to call SetFontSize().
|
| 23 | <h2>Parameters</h2>
|
| 24 | <dl class="param">
|
| 25 | <dt><code>family</code></dt>
|
| 26 | <dd>
|
| 27 | Family font. It can be either a name defined by AddFont() or one of the standard families (case
|
| 28 | insensitive):

|

|
| 33 | <li><code>Symbol</code> (symbolic)</li>
|
| 34 | <li><code>ZapfDingbats</code> (symbolic)</li>
|
| 35 | </ul>
|
| 36 | It is also possible to pass an empty string. In that case, the current family is kept.
|
| 37 | </dd>
|
| 38 | <dt><code>style</code></dt>
|
| 39 | <dd>
|
| 40 | Font style. Possible values are (case insensitive):

|
| 44 | <li><code>I</code>: italic</li>
|
| 45 | <li><code>U</code>: underline</li>
|
| 46 | </ul>
|
| 47 | or any combination. The default value is regular.
|
| 48 | Bold and italic styles do not apply to <code>Symbol</code> and <code>ZapfDingbats</code>.
|
| 49 | </dd>
|
| 50 | <dt><code>size</code></dt>
|
| 51 | <dd>
|
| 52 | Font size in points.
|
