Initializing Fonts

A program that uses fonts must first organize the fonts into a list in memory, a process called initializing. The list gives the computer information about the available fonts.

Initialize the fonts by calling the INITIALIZEFONTS routine:

     USE DFLIB
     INTEGER(2) numfonts
     numfonts = INITIALIZEFONTS( )

If the computer successfully initializes one or more fonts, INITIALIZEFONTS returns the number of fonts initialized. If the function fails, it returns a negative error code.
