Font selection dialog

The Font selection dialog box allows the user to select the fontname, style (i.e. regular, bold or italic) and size of the font that will be used to render the text.  This selection is dependent on the current Windows printer and, in some cases, on the orientation of the page defined for that printer.

 

 

The Font selection dialog box contains the following items:

 

Font listbox       Clicking on a fontname in the Font listbox selects the font for use in rendering the current component; this fontname is copied to the edit box above the list . It also causes the list of available font sizes in the size listbox to be updated. Note that only fonts available for the current printer are included in the Font listbox.

 

Size listbox        Clicking on a font size in the Size listbox selects the size for use in rendering the current component; this size is copied to the edit box above the list.  For TrueType, PostScript and other continuously scaleable fontsize printers a fixed number of options appear in the size listbox, although any integer point size in the range 4 - 144 points may be entered in the edit box and will be used for printing if the requested value is within the printer's capability.

 

Style listbox       The font style box shows the font styles available for the currently selected font (including regular, italic, bold, and bold and italic). Clicking on one of these entries will select the style with which the font will be rendered on the screen image.

 

Sample             The sample box shows a sample of the currently selected font and style.

The Font selection dialog box also contains OK and CANCEL buttons. When OK is selected any changes made within the dialog will be reflected in the Barcode image. If CANCEL is selected any such changes are discarded.
