SAS/GRAPH Fonts

Default Fonts

If you are using styles (the GSTYLE system option is in effect), then the default fonts are specified by the current style. Each style specifies fonts for various graph elements such as axis labels, graph titles, tick mark labels, and so on.

When you are using the Java and ActiveX devices (which always use styles), the default fonts are determined at run time. The fonts are resolved based on the fonts available on the system where the graph is viewed. When you use the JAVA or ACTIVEX device, the fonts specified by the styles are also specified in the HTML or RTF file that is generated. When the file is viewed, if a font is not available, the font mapper on the system where the file is viewed determines the font that is substituted.

If you are not using styles (the NOGSTYLE system option is in effect), then the default font is the font specified by the MTsans-serif entry in the SAS registry.

See Specifying A Font and Methods For Overriding Default Fonts for information on how to override default font specifications.
