■ Loading a user-defined font
APLOAD loads a user-defined font data defined by fontarrayname to the user
font area specified by characode.
• To display user-defined fonts loaded by the APLOAD, you use the PRINT state-
ment in the single-byte ANK mode. If you attempt to display an undefined charac-
ter code, a space character will appear.
• The loaded user-defined fonts are effective during execution of the user program
which loaded those fonts and during execution of the successive user programs
chained by the
CHAIN statement.
