FONTREG Procedure

Example 2: Adding All Font Files from Multiple Directories

Features:

:: MSGLEVEL= option; FONTPATH statement

Details

This example shows how to add all valid font files from two different directories and how to write detailed information to the SAS log.

Program

proc fontreg msglevel=verbose;

fontpath 'your-font-directory-1' 'your-font-directory-2';
run;

Program Description

Write complete details to the SAS log. The MSGLEVEL=VERBOSE option writes complete details about what fonts were added, what fonts were not added, and what font files were not understood.

proc fontreg msglevel=verbose;

Specify the directories to search for valid fonts. You can specify more than one directory in the FONTPATH statement. Each directory must be enclosed in quotation marks. If you specify more than one directory, then you must separate the directories with a space.

fontpath 'your-font-directory-1' 'your-font-directory-2';
run;

Output: Log

NOTE: The font "Albertus Medium" (Style: Regular, Weight: Normal) has been
      added to the SAS Registry at
      [CORE\PRINTING\FREETYPE\FONTS\<ttf>Albertus Medium]. Because it is a TRUETYPE
      font, it can be referenced as "Albertus Medium" or "<ttf>Albertus Medium" in
      SAS. The font resides in file
