FL (FONT_LOAD) -- Load a font for use in pads.
usage:  fl pathname [-i]


FORMAT

  FL pathname [-I]


  The FL command loads a font for use in subsequent pads.  Note that fonts apply
  to pads, not windows, so any new window opened to an  old  pad  uses  the  old
  font.

  You  can  load  up  to 50 fonts.  The DM keeps track of fonts loaded by the FL
  command or programs.  It unloads fonts on a least-recently-used basis.

  If you need to unload a font (to edit it with EDFONT for example), issue an FL
  command for another font, and close all the windows using the font you wish to
  unload.  If a program loaded the font, stop the program (issue an  end-of-file
  -- usually CTRL/Z), and close the window.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (required)          Specify  name  of  file containing font to be loaded.  The
                     given pathname is first looked up directly, using the  user
                     working  and  naming  directory rules.  If not found, it is
                     looked up in the directory /SYS/DM/FONTS.


OPTIONS

  -I                 Specify that the font to be loaded is an icon font.
