To assign the default
device-resident font for your current SAS session, use the CHARTYPE=
option in a GOPTIONS statement. Assign it the actual number of the
device-resident font as listed in the Chartype field in the
Chartype window of the device entry for your device.
Using the CHARTYPE=
option changes the default font only for the duration of your SAS
session; using the CHARTYPE= option does not change the value of the
field in the device entry. (See
CHARTYPE for a complete description of the CHARTYPE= option.)
When you specify a device-resident
font by using the graphics option CHARTYPE=
n and the font specification NONE, the size of the character cells
is determined by the current values for the HPOS= and VPOS= options.
This means that the font is drawn using the current cell size. As
a result, the aspect ratio of the displayed font might be different
and the height of the characters, if displayed in cells, might be
affected.
CAUTION:
Specifying
a nonscalable device-resident font with the CHARTYPE= option might
cause the SIMULATE font to be used.
In addition, the SIMULATE
font is substituted if both of the following conditions are true.
-
The font selected with CHARTYPE=
is not scalable.
-
The values of the HPOS= and VPOS=
options do not match the values of the Rows and Cols fields in the
Chartype window.
