Details

SAS/GRAPH substitutes the SAS/GRAPH font specified by the SIMFONT= option for the default device-resident font in these cases:
  • when you use the NOCHARACTERS option in a GOPTIONS statement
  • when you specify a non-default value for the HPOS= or VPOS= graphics option and your device does not have scalable hardware characters
  • when you replay a graph using a device driver other than the one used to create the graph
  • when you specify an angle or rotation for your hardware text that the device is not capable of producing
  • when you specify a device-resident font that is not supported by your device.
