A <c><![CDATA[Font]]></c> is represented as a two or three tuple:</p> -    <list type="bulleted"> -      <item><c><![CDATA[{Family,Size}]]></c></item> -      <item><c><![CDATA[{Family,Style,Size}]]></c></item> -    </list> -    <p>Examples of fonts are: <c><![CDATA[{times,12}]]></c>, <c><![CDATA[{symbol,bold,18}]]></c>, <c><![CDATA[{courier,[bold,italic],6}]]></c>, <c><![CDATA[{screen,12}]]></c>.</p> -    <p>The most important requirement with the font model is to ensure that there is always a "best possible" font present. For example, if an application tries to use the font <c><![CDATA[{times,17}]]></c> on a computer system which does not have this font available, the <c><![CDATA[gs]]></c> font model automatically substitutes <c><![CDATA[{times,16}]]></c>.</p> -    <p>Note that GS requires that the following fonts are available if using an X-server display:</p> -    <list type="bulleted"> -      <item>fixed</item> -      <item>-*-courier-*</item> -      <item>-*-times-*</item> -      <item>-*-helvetica-*</item> -      <item>-*-symbol-*</item> -      <item>"-*-new century schoolbook-"</item> -      <item>-*-screen-*</item> -    </list> -    <p>To find out which font is actually chosen by the <c><![CDATA[gs]]></c>, use the option <c><![CDATA[{choose_font,Font}]]></c>. For example, the following situation might occur:</p> -    <pre><![CDATA[ -1> <input>G=gs:start().</input> -{1,<0.20.0>} -2><input>gs:read(G,{choose_font,{times,38}}).</input> -{times,[],38} -3> <input>gs:read(G,{choose_font,{screen,italic,6}}).</input>  -{courier,italic,6} -4>  -    ]]></pre> -    <p>When programming with fonts, it is often necessary to find the size of a string which uses a specific font. <c><![CDATA[{font_wh,Font}]]></c> returns the width and height of any string and any font. The following example illustrates its usage:</p> -    <marker id="gs_fig6"></marker> -    <image file="images/ex15.gif"> -      <icaption>Font Examples</icaption> -    </image> -    <codeinclude file="examples/ex15.erl" tag="" type="erl"></codeinclude> -  </section> -</chapter> -  |
