You can obtain a font list identifier by using the FONTSEL function to open a font selector from which the user selects font characteristics that are stored in a font list.

Example

This example uses the FONTSEL function to open the font selector window from which the user selects a font that is stored in MYLIST. This font is then assigned to the legend text.

    /* Create the list in which to store font
       information  */
fontlist = makelist();

   /* Open the default font selector. User 
      selection is stored in MYFONT */
myfont = fontsel(fontlist, ' ');

   /* Assign the font stored in MYFONT to 
     the legend labels */                */
call notify('map1','_set_font_list_',
            'legend',myfont);

   /* Delete the list */
dellist(fontlist);
