Arguments: standard-object
Returns the current value of the font property for standard-object. This property determines which font to use when displaying text on the object. A font is created using make-font, make-font-ex, or ask-user-for-font.
The value should be a font object, as returned by make-font-ex, make-font, or ask-user-for-font.
font is a
property of graphical-stream
(which includes
all windows as well as bitmap-streams and printer streams) and dialog-item
(which
includes all widgets), as well as outline-item
and grid-column
. font is not a property of
menus, at least on the Windows platform, because Windows uses a single
Control Panel font for all menus.
(setf font) can take an additional optional argument called
set-line-height-too. If this argument is true,
then (setf font) will set the current line-height of the window or widget
to be equal to the font-height of its new font. This
is normally desirable so that printing a newline to the stream will
position the next line of text appropriately, so this argument
defaults to t
. The default could be
overridden, though, with a form such as (setf (font my-window
nil)(make-font-ex nil "Arial" 18))
.
