Draw text - font name?

oldhiker · 08-13-2012, 07:55 PM

I am trying to use the 10.4.4.34 Draw Text(), but I cannot give the correct name to "Font font,". I does not accept "Font.Arial".
Can someone please provide a list of font names that will be accepted in this line of code. Just the common names, mainly Arial and like fonts.
Thank you from 'oldhiker'
PS. The 'font reference' in the manual does not load.

It will accept any fonts that you have installed in your computer.

The correct syntax would be:

new Font("Arial", 12)

Hello Matthew,
Thank you for your speedy reply. I would never have used the syntax you showed. It worked. I am so happy.
Perhaps this could be included in the on-line Help Guide.
When clicking on the 'reference' in the parameters box in the Help Guide, the link did no load. While this does not matter for me at this point, it may be a problem for other users.
Thank you
