Font in SAS Graph and annotate

[Sachin]

Hi
Can any body help me ? I am creating graph using SAS Base and
creating legend using annotate but if i am defining function='label'
style='"Calibri or arial or georgia or verdana or any font"' with or
without making the font bold
i am getting warning that "font calibri could not be used" and it is
substituted by simulate .

so any body can explain why this warning comes?because i am new with
SAS Annotate so i am thinking that exactly i am doing some mistake or
i am not able to understand the funda of X pixels and Y pixels or any
other thing which I am not getting ............................

So please explain your answer so I could be able to understand the
concept.

Thanks if any body want that i should explain more about my problem
then i will explain later.

Thanks

Hello Sachin,

I assume you know that to use a hardware font in SAS/GRAPH, it must be
enclosed in quotes, e.g. 'arial'. But if you specify

style='arial';

the string variable STYLE will contain arial without quotes. You need
to use double quotation marks, e.g.:

style="'arial'";

(double quote followed by a single quote).

Good luck,

hi ... that sometimes happens with given combinations of TrueType fonts and font size and output device

it also happens when you specify a device where the font cannot be used

try changing the font size in the annotate data set

for example ....


data text;
retain xsys ysys '1' hsys '3' style '"calibri"' size 10 x y 50;
text = 'hello';
run;

goptions reset=all device=png
xpixels=1024 ypixels=768 ftext='calibri' htext=5 gunit=pct gsfname=gifout;

filename gifout 'z:\test.gif';

* this should work OK;
title 'THIS SHOULD WORK' ls=2;
proc gslide annotate=text;
run;
quit;

goptions reset=all ftext='calibri' htext=5 gunit=pct;

* this can't use the CALIBRI font;
ods results off;
ods pdf file='z:\test.pdf';

title 'THIS SHOULD NOT WORK - SIMULATE FONT' ls=2;
proc gslide annotate=text;
run;
quit;

ods pdf close;
ods results;

LOG ...
WARNING: Font calibri could not be used.
Font SIMULATE substituted for font calibri.
