Windows Fonts
Description

Usage
windowsFont(family)
windowsFonts(...)
Arguments
family |
a character vector containing the font family name
( |
... |
either character strings naming mappings to display, or new (named) mappings to define. |
Details
A windows device is created with a default font (see
the documentation for windows), but it is also possible
to specify a font family when drawing to the device (for example, see
the documentation for "family" in par and for
"fontfamily" in gpar in the grid package).
The font family sent to the device is a simple string name, which must be mapped to something more specific to windows fonts. A list of mappings is maintained and can be modified by the user.
The windowsFonts function can be used to list existing
mappings and to define new mappings. The windowsFont
function can be used to create a new mapping.
Default mappings are provided for three device-independent font family
names: "sans" for a sans-serif font, "serif" for a serif
font and "mono" for a monospaced font.
These mappings will only be used if the current font face is 1 (plain), 2 (bold), 3 (italic), or 4 (bold italic).
