Correcting Text Fonts | SAS.GRAPH 9.1 Reference, Volumes I and II

If your presentation displays an incorrect text font on a given client computer, then the cause may be that the client computer maps a Java logical font name such as Courier to a different physical font set. If the logical font is not mapped to any physical font, Java uses a default font. To correct the problem, edit your HTML file or your SAS/GRAPH program to specify a different logical font name .

For programs that use the JAVA or JAVAMETA device drivers, or that use the macros DS2CONST, DS2TREE, or DS2CSF, specify one of these logical font names: Courier, Dialog, DialogInput, Helvetica, Monospaced, Serif, SansSerif, or TimesRoman. These names are case-sensitive. If you specified them in uppercase letters in your SAS program, this could be the source of your problem.

The JAVA device driver can use the physical font set Lucida, which is provided in the Java plug-in. If your Java presentation shows unexpected fonts, switching to the Lucida font should clear up the problem. For further information on font specifications, see Specifying Fonts in SAS/GRAPH Programs on page 75.
