List of available fonts ?

JohnSAScom — Mon, 05 Feb 2018 15:14:50 GMT

Where can I find a list of available fonts?

I'm trying to create a format that will italicize some text in:

proc format;.
   value $FD
   'TEXT 1' = 'white'.
   'TEXT 2' = 'white'
   ;
   value $FW
   'TEXT 1' = 'normal'.
   'TEXT 2' = 'bold'
   ;
run;.
.
proc tabulate data=DAT s=[font=("arial")];.
class UA;.
classlev UA / style={foreground=$FD. fontweight=$FW. font=("arial")};.
var X / style={font=("arial") fontweight=bold};.
table UA, X;.
run;.

I'm interested in particular in the

classlev UA / style={foreground=$FD. fontweight=$FW. font=("arial")};

statement. Would I change "font=("arial")}" to "font=("arial italic")}"?

You might look into proc fontreg to register more of your system fonts for use with SAS which with the MSGLEVEL option of verbose will provide details about fonts added, not added or just plain "not understood".

Thank you ballardw. I'll give it a try.

Hi:
Before you go down the road of changing the font, I'd recommend looking at the FONTSTYLE attribute (or FONT_STYLE is the older form of the attribute) such as shown on page 11 for PROC TABULATE in this document: https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/stylesinprocs.pdf
