Result
Returns OK or error.
Description
Sets the alternative font.Sets the font as alternate font that is used by DynaPDF.Parser.ReplaceSelText if the original font is not available.
Although the parameter Size must be greater zero, the value is in fact not used when replacing text. The parameter is reserved for future use.
Please note that the replacement text must be defined in the code page with which the font was loaded.
To effiently change the font whenever needed, call DynaPDF.Parser.ChangeAltFont. It is also possible to call DynaPDF.Parser.SetAltFont but this would require more processing time.
If the function succeeds the return value is the font handle, a value greater of equal zero. If the function fails the return value is 0.
Examples
Set alternative font:
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "DynaPDF.Parser.SetAltFont"; $pdf; "Helvetica"; 0; 12) ]
