I'm not sure if I understand. But if you choose a font that is
NOT found it displays an error message followed by all available fonts.
If it finds the font it displays nothing. In this case I probably
gave to much information in the error message by suggesting all
the legal values :-).

The easiest way to choose a font is to use the menu to select
it (test it with LABEL). Then use SHOW LABELFONT to see the correct
parameters syntax of the font. Then use that in your program.
Use the clipboard or assign it to variable to save typing and
mistakes.

George,

I re-checked the issue. Apparently you are right: There's no such a problem with Times - which is positioned low in my fonts list. But how can I explain the following:

On running my program I get:

Sorry, Nadianne Font does not exist, choose one of the following:
...
...
...

But in the commander I get:

pr labelfont
[Nadianne] -29 0 0 700 1 0 0 0 3 2 1 74
 

Thanks for your help,
