NAME¶

dclfontdialog - interactive system font selection and preview for DCL

SYNOPSIS¶

dclfontdialog [ options ]

DESCRIPTION¶

dclfontdialog is a utility program included in the GFD Dennou Club Library (DCL). It allows the user to interactively select a system font (such as TrueType or OpenType fonts installed on the OS) and preview its rendering.

The program performs the following steps:

1.

Opens a graphics window and displays instructions using DCL's internal stroke font.

2.

Invokes a system-dependent font selection dialog (via the SWSLFT subroutine).

3.

Once a font is selected, it displays the name of the font using the default system font.

4.

Finally, it renders sample text containing English, Japanese (Kanji/Kana), and Greek characters using the selected font.

This utility is particularly useful for verifying whether DCL correctly handles specific system fonts and multibyte characters in the current graphics environment (e.g., GTK, Windows).

OPTIONS¶

dclfontdialog accepts standard DCL runtime parameters.

-sw:ws workstation_type

Specify the output workstation type. To use the interactive font dialog feature, a workstation that supports GUI interaction (like gtk or x) is typically required.

-sw:width pixels

Specify the window width.

-sw:height pixels

Specify the window height.

EXAMPLES¶

To start the font dialog test:

(A window will appear. Follow the on-screen instructions and the pop-up dialog to select a font.)
