FONTS Menu

"A:" indicates that
the font is on the PC
Card in the front
slot. "B:" indicates it
is on the card in the
rear slot. "R"
indicates it is a ROM-
resident font.
Current Font Selection
Available Fonts List—This list shows the names of all fonts that are currently available.
PowerScript examines all currently inserted PC cards for font-type files when it creates
this list. PowerScript also displays the names of ROM-resident fonts in this list and pre-
cedes the names with the letter R to let you know it is a ROM font and, therefore, you
cannot delete it.
Current Font Selection—If a text object is selected when you display the FONTS menu, the
name of the font assigned to the text object appears in this location. See "Determining
Attributes Assigned to Text Objects"in the following section.
See Appendix A, PowerScript Fonts, for a list and samples of the fonts included with Power-
Script.
To assign a font style attribute to a text object:

Select the font you want in the Available Fonts List.
If the font you want to select does not appear in the list, use the scroll bar at the right
side of the list to move it up or down until the font you want appears.
When you select a font in the Available Fonts List, PowerScript immediately applies the
font to the text selection. You do not have to close the FONTS menu in order to see
how the font looks. Drag the FONTS menu to a different location if it hides the text
object. If you don't like the font you've selected, simply select a different one.
