Comments Font parameters in Normal and Execute modes do not affect the fonts that
have already been established and saved on a form.
Font commands issued in the Create mode affect only the current form
being created and not any of the fonts on other forms or for Execute or
Normal mode text.
You can use any or all Font parameters, listed in any order, in a single Font
command. (Do not list font parameters on separate lines.) Parameters and
symbol sets not specified retain the previously selected value. Parameters
incorrectly specified retain the previously selected value.
