FontScript

The FontScript function returns the script code for the current script. The current script is usually the font script.

FUNCTION FontScript: Integer;

DESCRIPTION

The FontScript function returns a script code. All recognized script codes and their defined constants are listed on page 6-52. FontScript returns only explicit script codes (\xD1 0).

If the font of the active graphics port is Roman and the font force flag is TRUE, the script code returned is that of the system script and the script-forced result flag is set to TRUE.

If the font of the active graphics port is non-Roman, the state of the font force flag is ignored.

If the script system corresponding to the font of the active graphics port is not installed and enabled, the script code returned is that of the system script and the script-defaulted result flag is set to TRUE.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

FontScript may move memory; your application should not call this function at interrupt time.
