FontSubstitution

Syntax:

FontSubstitution .UnavailableFont - text, .SubstituteFont - text

Example:

This sample macro creates a document and inserts sample text formatted for a font that does not exist. It then uses the FontSubstitution statement to show Arial in place of the font Test.

   Sub MAIN
      FileNewDefault
      Font "Test"
      FontSubstitution .UnavailableFont - "Test", \
      .SubstituteFont - "Arial"
      Insert "The font 'Test' is unavailable."
      InsertPara
      Insert "Arial is being used instead."
      InsertPara
      Insert "Look under Tools Options Compatibility."
   End Sub
