Description
Removes all fonts in text, or removes the font specified by fontToRemove or the
combination of fontToRemove and fontScript. If you don’t specify a font, all of the
text displays in the default font that was set in Layout mode for the field. When the font is
specified by fontToRemove or the combination of fontToRemove and fontScript,
only the specified font is removed from every portion of the text displayed in that font and
these same portions of the text are then displayed in the field's default font.
Spellings for font names must be correct and are case-sensitive. Text formatting options
will be lost if the data type that is returned is something other than text.
FileMaker Pro looks for a font that matches the specified font name and font script
character set. If no matches exist, FileMaker Pro looks for a default font with the font script
specified in the Fonts tab of the Preferences dialog box. If this fails, then the
TextFontRemove function uses the default font for the system script specified in the
Fonts tab of the Preferences dialog box. This font might not be the same as the font script
provided.
The following font scripts are available:
