When I tried a cdev of mine in the Chinese version of System 6.0.4, the text showed up in Chicago 12 rather than the usual Geneva 9. Therefore it didn't all fit. Yet the System file does contain Geneva 9. Anyone understand this? -- Jim Walker jwwalker@cs.scarolina.edu 76367.2271@compuserve.com

On a non-roman system, this will give the local application font, which will have roman characters (looking like Chicago, perhaps) in it. If you want Geneva, ask for it by name. If you want the roman-application-font, use GetScript with the smScriptAppFond verb to get the true number. Use similar techniques for the system font and, when system 7 arrives, sizes for the various fonts. --Tom Lippincott lippin@math.berkeley.edu "Thank you for observing all saftey precautions." --Dark Star
