JADE Font Substitutions Section [JadeFontSubstitutions]
The [JadeFontSubstitutions] section of the JADE initialization file enables you to substitute your own preferred fonts for those defined in an application.
JADE applications written in a Windows environment rely on the Windows environment to provide specific common fonts.
Application users can substitute their own preferred fonts for those defined in an application, simply by adding the appropriate font entries to the [JadeFontSubstitutions] section of the JADE initialization files on their client nodes.
All parameters in this section are read when a standard (fat) client node or presentation client is next initialized. Changes to parameter values in this section are not detected until the client program is restarted.
You can substitute a font so that text is drawn in a different font, altering the name, size, weight (bold), and slant (italic). Print output uses the specified font substitution.
Font substitution does not occur in:
-
The
-
Operating system-provided common dialogs (for example, the File Open or File Save dialog)
-
The message box
All applications run from a specific presentation client or standard fat client share the same font substitutions. Each presentation client reads its own set of font substitutions from its own JADE initialization file, allowing presentation clients that connect to the same application server to use different fonts.
The font properties seen by user logic are always the original specified values; that is, the match specification. The substituted values are not visible to user logic.
The [JadeFontSubstitutions] section can contain the parameters described in the following subsections.
