SAS Companion for the OS/2 Environment

Using TrueType Fonts with SAS/GRAPH Software

OS/2 supports TrueType fonts but does not install any during OS/2 installation. To use TrueType fonts in the SAS System, you must first install them. To install a TrueType font to the OS/2 Font Palette, open the Font Palette from the System Setup window and click on

Edit font... Add...
enter the folder and font name, and click on[ Add...].

In SAS/GRAPH programs, you can use the font name to specify a TrueType font with the FONT= or F= option. For example, you can specify the following:

title2 font="Courier New" 
  'This is TrueType font SAS Courier New';

For more information about the FONT= option, such as how to use alternate fonts with hardcopy devices and how to make an alternate font the default font, see SAS/GRAPH Software: Reference.
