INFORMIX SOFTWARE, INC.,LENEXA, KS Wingz Technical Support Bulletin Number 001 Title: Setting the default font in Wingz Date: December 19, 1988 Unless specified through a script, the default font in Wingz is Geneva and the default font size is 10 point. This can be changed by running a script that sets the font to another font and size installed in your system. The script would need to be run when there are no worksheets open. The ideal way to do this would be to create a script called "startup" whose presence is checked for by WzScript and run if found in the folder. The commands to do this are as follows: TEXT FONT "default_font" TEXT SIZE size TEXT STYLE "style_string" Example: TEXT FONT "Bookman" TEXT SIZE 14 TEXT STYLE "BI" The preceding script would set the default font to Bookman size 14 with style attributes of bold and italic. The new font will affect everything on the worksheet: the headings, the font for text fields, and anything entered on the worksheet. One of the side effects of doing this is that not only does it change the font of anything entered on the sheet,it also changes the font of the headings as well as the icons in the entry bar (ie. +,-,*,/, etc.). Another side effect is that style attributes, which appear in the headings, text fields, and in the entry bar, do not appear on any text entered into the worksheet. The font and size specified appears, but, as in the example above, any text entered on the sheet into cells would not be bold or italicized, just Bookman font size 14. Of course, once the information has been entered into the cells, they can be formatted to whatever style attribute you desire.
