= SUMMARY =

To make the Format Character “fontname:” field default to a font other than the printer’s default font when you start a new document, create a standard paragraph style in the standard style sheet, NORMAL.STY, with the desired font selected as the character font. The following steps can be used to carry out this procedure:


 * 1) Confirm that the correct printer driver is selected in the Print Options “printer:” field.
 * 2) In the Gallery menu, load NORMAL.STY.
 * 3) Choose the Insert command and set the “usage:” field to Paragraph, set the “variant:” field to Standard, and fill in the other two fields as desired.
 * 4) Highlight the standard paragraph style.
 * 5) Choose the Format Character command; in the “fontname:” field, select the desired font.
 * 6) Save the style sheet.

Now when a new document is started, the text will be formatted for the font set up in the standard paragraph style.
