The fonts listed in TrueType Fonts Supplied by SAS are available on all systems where SAS is installed. It is recommended that you use these fonts when possible.
Additional system fonts that are available to your application and
the methods for determining those fonts depend on the following:
-
the operating environment that
you are working in
-
the device or universal printer
that you are using
For more information
about determining what fonts are available, see
SAS Language Reference: Concepts and the SAS documentation for your operating environment.
You can add additional
fonts to your system for use by
SAS/GRAPH, but all fonts must be registered with the FONTREG
procedure. See
Base SAS Procedures Guide for more information.
All of the fonts that
have been registered with the FONTREG procedure are listed in the
SAS registry. To view the list of registered fonts, follow these steps:
-
Open the registry editor
by either selecting
SolutionsAccessoriesRegistry Editor or by issuing the command REGEDIT in the command
line.
-
Select
COREPRINTINGFREETYPEFONTS.
The
SAS/GRAPH fonts are available on all systems
where
SAS/GRAPH is installed, but they are provided primarily for
special uses.
See Using SAS/GRAPH Fonts for more information.
When you are deciding
what font to use, consider all operating environments in which your
SAS code will be run. For example, if you specify a font, such as
Arial, that is available only on Windows systems, then your output
will appear different on other systems. If you specify one of the
fonts that is installed with SAS
(see TrueType Fonts Supplied by SAS) then your output will appear the same on all systems. It
is recommended that you use system fonts whenever possible.
