get_font

get_font ( : : WindowHandle : Font )

Get the current font.

get_font queries the name of the font used in the output window. The font is used by the operators write_string, read_string etc. The font is set by the operator set_font. Text windows as well as windows for image display use fonts. Both types of windows have a default font that can be modified with set_system('default_font',Fontname) prior to opening the window. A list of all available fonts can be obtained using query_font.

Parameters
