Setting Fonts on Windows
On Windows, use the MSFont keyword to specify fonts for use in Wave Widgets. The MSFont keyword is specified as a string of the following form:
MSFont = ’face_name, point size, attribute’
where face_name specifies the type face, and attribute specifies font attributes such as bold, italic, underline, etc.
For example: MSFont = ’Arial, 8, bold’
You can also specify Windows system fonts as shown in Window System Fonts.
