Changing Fonts The FONT rendition control causes the enclosed text to be printed in the
specified font. It looks like this:
\FONT n ( text \)
n
is a number from 0 through 9. If the font number has been defined in a
STYLE FONT command, that font is used; otherwise, the default font 0
is used.
Examples:
\FONT2(This is a Title\)
The first FONT command TFORM encounters is \FONT2; therefore, the
following text is printed in font 2 until the \FONT4 command. Only the
word in parentheses is printed in font 4, then TFORM continues printing
the remaining text in font 2.
You are limited to only 10 fonts per TFORM page.
You can assign a new font to a font number by using the STYLE FONT
command. Refer to Section 3 for more information about the STYLE FONT
command.
Overstruck Type The sequence OVERSTRIKE rendition overprints each nonblank character
in the enclosed text with the overstrike character, which is a hyphen by
default (to produce the “strikeout type” often used in legal documents). It
looks like this:
\OVERSTRIKE ( text \)
If you want to redefine the overstrike character to any other printable
character, you can do so with the DEFINE OVERSTRIKE command.
Overprinted text looks like this:
This line is printed in strikeout type.
