DEFAULT-FONT - This variable defines which font to use for the DEFAULT-FONT (for a description of this font, see Format 3, ACCEPT FROM OBJECT in Book 3, Chapter 6, section 6.6). When DEFAULT-FONT is set to "0" (the normal setting), the font used depends on the host system as follows:
| System
| Font Used
|
| Graphical system
| MEDIUM-FONT
|
| Non-graphical system
| FIXED-FONT
|
You can set DEFAULT-FONT to one of the following values to use a different font. The following words are valid settings:
| Setting
| Font Used
|
| TRADITIONAL
| TRADITIONAL-FONT
|
| FIXED
| FIXED-FONT
|
| LARGE
| LARGE-FONT
|
| MEDIUM
| MEDIUM-FONT
|
| SMALL
| SMALL-FONT
|
Due to the way the runtime initializes the windowing subsystem, the DEFAULT-FONT setting is effective only when it is placed in the configuration file or the host system's environment. Setting DEFAULT-FONT from inside a COBOL program has no effect.
