printTextFont

set the printTextFont to font

The printTextFont property returns or sets the value of the default text font used by the print command. The default value is Geneva.

When you print a report, HyperCard determines the default font for a report item as follows:

• If the report item is the text of a card or background field, HyperCard uses the text font of the field.

• If the report item is generated from any other HyperTalk expression, HyperCard uses the value of printTextFont.

In either case, the user can override the default font by selecting a font in the Item Info dialog box of the report item.

Examples

set the printTextFont to "Times"
