4. Modify the Fonts Associated with Logical Attributes

In standard Vermont Views, only one font is available to display the text on the screen. Items are differentiated through the use of color and highlighting of the text via logical attributes. Vermont Views for Windows allows you to display as many fonts on your forms and menus as you want. This is as easy as specifying the logical attribute in which you want the text to be displayed.

Logical attributes now include the standard Windows font as one of their characteristics. You can modify the font associated with any logical attribute by using the new Vermont Views for Windows function latt_rplfont().

In addition to associating fonts with logical attributes, fonts can be assigned directly to the entire application or to individual forms and windows. Use the following functions to change the font.

Entire Application se_font()
Form sfm_font()
Window sw_font()

For more information about latt_rplfont(), refer to New Library Functions.

Note:To maintain compatibility with Vermont Views on other operating systems, this capability is available through code only. It cannot be implemented from within the Vermont Views Designer.
