STYLE

Most objects print some text and therefore require a font specification. The font specification is defined in terms of a style. Styles are defined in the page format files in terms of a font name, family, point size, and so on. This is because the physical page size changes depending on the page format selected by the user, and fonts also need to change.

The font specification has the following format:

STYLES    {style1}, {style2}, ... ,{styleN}

The objects for which fonts are specified use the style list in different ways. For example, the TEXT object requires only a single style that specifies the font in which to print the text. However, the TASK object requires three styles specified.

The required parameters for this property on each object are different. For more information on these required parameters, see the applicable object under Print Objects and Properties.
