FONTLIST

Details

The FONTLIST command opens windows that list all of the software fonts that are available in your operating environment. This feature is useful if you want to choose a font to use in a SAS program, typically with a FONT= or FTEXT= option.
Issuing the FONTLIST command from the SAS command line opens the Select Font window, which contains two buttons, Copy and System. Clicking System opens the Fonts window, from which you can select and preview all available system fonts. After you select the desired font and font attributes, click OK. The Select Font window reopens with your selected font name displayed. Clicking Copy places the font name in the copy buffer so that you can paste the selected font name into your SAS program.
