PrinterFont$
PrinterFont$ = fontSpec
Description:
Liberty BASIC 4 now lets you set the font used for LPRINTing text to the printer. The format used for specifying the font is the same as for specifying the font in a graphics window. See also How to Specify Fonts, LPRINT.
'set a courier 10 italic font
PrinterFont$ = "courier_new 10 italic"
The last font set before a page is printed is used for all the text on that page.
Usage:
'show the current printer font$
print PrinterFont$
lprint "This text will appear in "; PrinterFont$
dump
'set a courier 10 italic font
PrinterFont$ = "courier_new 10 italic"
lprint "This text will appear in "; PrinterFont$
dump
