I'm sure a few have caught the error in my posting some days ago
regarding the use of GDOS fonts. In my original posting, I'd stated that
the function used to select a font, vst_font(handle,font), required
'font' to be the Nth font loaded by vst_load_fonts.
The function vst_font(handle,font), will load the font whose
unique font id is 'font'. The function returns the actual font set as a
result of the command (ie. its font id).
One thing I neglected to mention in my earlier posting, if you
open more than one virtual workstation a program - if for instance, you
open up a virtual workstation for every window in your application, then
you must call vst_load_fonts(handle,0) for each one in order to access
your GDOS fonts when drawing in that virtual workstation. If the fonts
are already loaded for another virtual workstation, the function will
not load them again. The purpose of the call seems to be a matter of
GEM housekeeping.
