			The '''Font''' [[config]] specification is supported.

			FONT fontname 3DFONT=fontname

			This supports two fonts simultaneously, one for background and captions and one font for input fields.

			Multiple fonts are now supported under Windows. The default is still [[SYSTEMPC]]. Any installed non-proportional font is permitted that is named in the following BRCONFIG.SYS statement:

			Version [[3.9]]+ supports the command [[STATUS]] FONTS. This will report all currently installed Windows fonts that are acceptable in a FONT statement. Also fonts can be changed dynamically via the CONFIG command.

			Version [[4.1]]+ allows specific proportional or non-proportional fonts for text, labels and buttons

			BRCONFIG.SYS statement

			SCREEN OPENDFLT FONT=, FONT.TEXT=, FONT.LABELS=, FONT.BUTTONS=

			Where the options are arial: modern: slant: width+ (etc.)

			The above settings are used initially and as OPEN #0 font defaults. When a child window is opened it inherits the parent windows font settings. Window #0 inherits the OPENDFLT font settings each time it is opened. When typeface or family is specified in an Open statement, boldness, style and underline revert to these defaults unless they are also specified in the Open statement.

			Size specifications do not revert to default values as a result of opening a window. They must be explicitly specified in order to change them. This is to allow for users resizing their displays and retaining those settings.

			Individual controls inherit the font settings of the window the same way windows inherit settings.

Font Size Adjustment- adjusts the size of displayed text down to accomodate the horizontal space allocated for the text

:Width: Determine the average caps + digits character width. Then reduce the font size until the number of characters times this average fits the BR field capacity.

:Width+: Determine the average letter size considering both upper and lower case letters. Then apply the width limitation.

:Width-: Make the font small enough to accommodate a string of capital W's.

:NoWidth: Clear the Width adjustment setting.

e.g.
OPEN #0: "Rows=30,Cols=100,FONT.LABELS=Terminal:bold:slant,FONT.TEXT=Arial,FONT.BUTTONS=Lucida Console", Display, Outin

The former FONTSIZE=99x99 parameter is only supported when GUI is OFF.
