Varying Fonts on a Page

This example illustrates a simple font variation within a printout. The task is to print a line-data file having the first line of each page in bold-faced type and the rest in standard type. This requires controls for two fonts in the page definition.

The commands to select a single font for the page, as shown in Figure Data File Printed Using a Single Font, are as follows:

The FONT command contains two names: the local (STANDARD) name and the user-access (M101) name for the selected font. 

PAGEDEF ABCD ;
  FONT STANDARD M101;
  FONT BOLDFACE M102;
  LAYOUT 'abc' FONT BOLDFACE NEWPAGE;
  LAYOUT 'def' FONT STANDARD NEWPAGE;
  LAYOUT 'ghi' FONT STANDARD;

Note: Fonts cannot be an FGID (Font Typeface Global Identifier). Also, all page definitions require a LAYOUT command.

The following example shows line data using a single font:
