Text Attributes
The appearance of text that has been added to the graphics view area can be adjusted. Two text characteristics you can adjust are font and text size.
Font
You can select different fonts (typefaces) for the text that you add to the display area of a particular view window. You can choose from 18 fonts: the hardware font and 17 software fonts.
In general, the hardware font is drawn faster, but the software fonts provide more variety. Many attributes cannot be adjusted for hardware fonts; these include justification, plane, and angle.
The following fonts are provided by PV‑WAVE:

The default font is Simplex Roman.
Text Size
PV‑WAVE’s default text size is 1.0. You can obtain taller and wider characters by typing in a larger number. The text is scaled relative to the default size. For example, a size of 2.0 produces text twice as large as 1.0.
Text size is applicable only for software fonts.
