[ncl-talk] fonts in NCL

[Dennis Shea]

Sorry, NCL does not allow "user defined fonts".

NCL has a fixed set of fonts available:

https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/font_tables.shtml

===
These can be invoked by 'function codes'

===
NCL's default font is helvetica (font 21) since NCL 6.1.0

https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Images/font21.png

===
You can change your default via a .hluresfile which resides in your home
directory.

[snip]
! Font stuff
*appClass*Font              : helvetica
[snip]

To change your default to (say) times-roman

*appClass*Font              : times-roman

======
Hope that helps
