The ISHIKAWA Procedure


Modifying Fonts

By default, the ISHIKAWA environment uses the same hardware font as the SAS windowing environment. However, you have the option of specifying two different font styles/sizes.

The primary font is used for labeling arrows in the first three levels of the diagram. The secondary font is used for labeling arrows in the remaining levels. You will typically use a smaller font in the detailed (secondary) areas of the diagram.

To change a font, select View Ishikawa Settings Primary Fonts… or View Ishikawa Settings Secondary Fonts… to display the Font Requestor window, as follows:

Figure 8.61: Font Requestor

Font Requestor


The layout of the Font requestor window is host specific. Typically, it will contain a list of available fonts and sizes displayed in a scrollable region. Refer to your host documentation for specific information regarding the format of this dialog.

To change fonts, select a font from the list.

You must close the Font Requestor window before you can proceed. Select OKto apply the font or Cancelto cancel the dialog.

To customize your session so that these fonts are permanently associated with the ISHIKAWA environment, select View Save Attributesfrom the command bar.
