printTextFont

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.
