DISCUSSION

Text_font_index selects a font for the currently designated character set. The font is at the concatenation of the character set path name and the text font index name. Where the character set path name is the active character set directory.

The predefined character sets and fonts are located at /usr/lib/starbase/stroke/’chset name’/’font index’. Do a directory listing of the appropriate directory to see what fonts are available. For example, to see what fonts are available for the character set usascii do an ls of the directory: /usr/lib/stroke/usascii Font 1 is a fixed width font while font 2 is a variable width font.

DEFAULTS

Font index = 1 (as set in /usr/lib/starbase/defaults).
