^A@
Use Font Name to Call Font
Description: The ^A@ command uses the complete name of a font, rather than the
character designation used in ^A. Once ^A@ is defined, it will represent that font
until a new font name is specified by ^A@.
Format: ^A@o,h,w,n
Parameters:
o = font orientation
Accepted Values:
N = normal
R = rotated 90 degrees (clockwise)
I = inverted 180 degrees
B = read from bottom up, 270 degrees
Default Value: Last ^FW value or N if an orientation is not specified.
h = character height (in dots)
Default Value: Magnification specified by w (character width) or the
last accepted ^CF value. The base height is used if none is specified.
Scalable: The value is the height in dots of the entire character
block. Magnification factors are unnecessary, since characters
are scaled.
Bitmapped: The value is rounded to nearest integer multiple of the
font’s base height, then divided by the font’s base height to
give a magnification nearest limit.
w = character width (in dots)
Default Value: Magnification specified by h (height) or the last
accepted ^CF value. The base width is used if none is specified.
Scalable: The value is the width in dots of the entire character
block. Magnification factors are unnecessary, since characters
are scaled.
Bitmapped: The value is rounded to nearest integer multiple of the
font’s base width, then divided by the font’s base width to
give a magnification nearest limit.
n = font name (.FNT extension)
Accepted Values: any valid font (with the extension .FNT)
Default Value: If no letter designates the device location, the default
device is RAM or R:. The font named will carry over on all subsequent
^A@ commands without a font name.
