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 section 6.6 in Book 3,
"Reference Manual"). 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.
