The GetOutlinePreferred function determines whether outline or bitmapped fonts are to be favored when the Font Manager receives a font request.

FUNCTION GetOutlinePreferred: Boolean;
DESCRIPTION
The GetOutlinePreferred function returns the value of the Font Manager's current preference for outline or bitmapped fonts. If GetOutlinePreferred returns TRUE, then the Font Manager chooses the outline font when both an outline font and a bitmapped font are available for a particular request. If GetOutlinePreferred returns FALSE, then the Font Manager chooses the bitmapped font when both types are available.

Use the SetOutlinePreferred procedure to change this preference.
