Dear MathGroup,
If I try to specify a font family from the fonts on my Windows 98 system to
use in graphics TextStyle statements, I have no trouble if the font name
consists of one word. For example,
Show[Graphics[
{Text["A quick brown fox jumped...", {0, 0},
TextStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Jokerman", FontSize -> 30}]}],
ImageSize -> 500];
works find. But if I use a font family described by two or more words...
Show[Graphics[
{Text["A quick brown fox jumped...", {0, 0},
TextStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Freestyle Script", FontSize ->
30}]}],
ImageSize -> 500];
not only does this not give the Freestyle Script font, but the spacing
between the words is totally messed up.
How does one specify fonts that have more than one word in their name?
There is also often a problem in graphics text with the spacing between
words. Sometimes the spacing is too wide, sometimes there is no spacing at
all. What is the source of this problem and what is the best way to work
around it?
