SYNTAX

get_font_object (string)

get_font_string (object)

get_font_object Creates an IFont object from the Sculptor font string. And returns the OLE IFont Object (in a programatic IUnknown interface).

get_font_string returns the Sculptor font string from an IFont OLE object which can be stored in an Object field.

The OLE reference may be stored in a temporary field with the special type o (object) or assigned directly to a suitable OLE control property. Assign NULL to the temp to delete the reference.
