SAS determines the normal (not bold) default font as
follows:
-
If you saved a font
in
SASUSER.PROFILE.DMSFONT.UNXPREFS through the
Font dialog box, this font
is used as the default normal font.
-
If you did not save
a font through the
Font dialog box, but you
set the
SAS.DMSFont
resource, SAS uses
the font specified by this resource as the default font.
-
If you did not set the
SAS.DMSFont
resource, SAS uses any font that matches
the pattern *Font, which might be defined or inherited.
-
If you did not specify
or inherit any resources matching *Font, but you did set the
SAS.DMSFontPattern
resource, SAS uses this resource
to determine which font to use. The
SAS.DMSfontPattern
resource has no effect if any resources matching *Font are inherited
or defined.
-
If no resources were
set, SAS chooses a font from the fonts that are available on your
X server.
If you did not specify
a value for the
SAS.DMSboldFont
resource,
SAS uses the default normal font to determine the default bold font.
If the normal
SAS.DMSFont
has an XLFD
name associated with it, then SAS selects the matching bold font and
loads it. If SAS cannot automatically select or load a bold font,
the normal font is also used for the bold font.
In many cases, font
names are given aliases so that a shorter name can be used to refer
to a font that has an XLFD name associated with it. The name used
in determining a bold font is based on the XA_FONT font property for
the normal font.
