FONT           Integer        Read       Text font.  The default value is 1.

Description

PSTXFN selects the specified workstation-specific text font.  Depending on the current edit mode, this function either inserts the new structure element directly after the element indicated by the pointer or replaces the element indicated by the pointer.  The pointer then points to the new set text font element. 

The set text font element sets the specified value for the current text font entry in the PHIGS traversal state list.  If the current text font ASF entry in the PHIGS traversal state list is INDIVIDUAL, Digital PHIGS uses the text font value when traversing subsequent text, text 3, annotation text, and annotation text 3 primitives.  If the ASF setting is BUNDLED, the value has no effect. Digital PHIGS uses the default font if the specified text font is not available at the workstation during structure traversal. 

If Digital PHIGS is in immediate mode, it performs this function immediately, but the function does not create a structure element.
