You can use the global keyword FONT with any graphics command to override the current font setting. Each font type has an index file with the extension .FFD. The index file lists the font used when a specific size is requested in a McIDAS command. If the size you request is not available, another size is substituted. For example, if you run this command:
ZA 3 20 FONT=COUBO "Courier Bold Font
The text is plotted in 18 point Courier bold oblique rather than 20 point. The index file COUBO.FFD specifies that the file courbo18.bdf is used when a command requests 20 point text.
The default McIDAS font and those in the Courier family are non-proportional. Use these fonts to display evenly-spaced characters.
See Appendix A, Global Keywords for more information about the global keyword FONT.
