Fonts

Apart from the default font, aiSee offers the fonts described in Table 5.11.2.

These pixel fonts are compatible with Adobe PostScript fonts. When exporting aiSee files to PostScript, the original PostScript fonts can be used (providing your PostScript printer is equipped with these fonts available).

Font sizes available: 8, 10, 12, 14, 28 and 24 points.

They can be specified by the fontname attribute for summary nodes and for ordinary nodes. The string value of this attribute is the font file name of the font to be used. The font file name is composed of the file name base, size and .vcf postfix:

font file specification: <filename_base><size>.vcf

For example, a size 12 Times Roman font is specified via fontname: "timR12.vcf".

The search path for the aiSee font files can be specified by the environment variable AISEEFONTS.
