-FONT " face-name" <BOLD | NORMAL><REGULAR | ITALIC><point-size>

FONT="face-name" <BOLD | NORMAL><REGULAR | ITALIC> <point-size>

"face-name": specifies the name of the font to use for printing. This must be a valid, case-sensitive font face name (for example, "SAS Monospace" or "Courier") that matches the name of the font as it is installed on your system. The font-name must be enclosed in double quotation marks. This is a required argument.
BOLD | NORMAL: specifies the weight of the font. The default is NORMAL.
REGULAR | ITALIC: specifies the style of the font. The default is REGULAR.
point-size: specifies the base point size to use for printing. This must be an integer from 1 to 7200, inclusive. If you omit this argument, SAS uses the last selected size unless there is no previous size in which case 8 points is used.

Details

If you specify a point-size that is not valid for a font, SAS uses the default point size for the font you specify.

The font name is case sensitive. Some valid font names are listed in the Font Palette window in the OS/2 System Setup folder. For example, you can use the following option with the SAS command:

-font "Sasfont" 12

The SAS System displays output best with a monospace (fixed-pitch) fonts. If you use a proportional (variable pitch) font, text may display incorrectly.
