Examples
This example starts a new print job and specifies that font number 2 is Courier, 18 point, bold, default pitch, in modern font, with no italic or underline. The PrintSetFont statement sets the current font to font 2. Then the Print statement prints the company name:
long Job // Start a new print job and a new page. Job = PrintOpen() // Define the font for Job. PrintDefineFont(Job, 2, "Courier 10Cps", & 250, 700, Default!, Modern!, FALSE, FALSE) // Set the font for Job. PrintSetFont(Job, 2) // Print the company name in the specified font. Print(Job,"Appeon Corporation")
