Re: Properties of system fonts


font.6="1.Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Bold Biggest"

IF Abbrev(lastword,"B")=1 THEN DO
IF Length(firstwords||" Bold")>32 THEN DO
SAY ' -> Please read "Bold" instead of "'||lastword||'"'

FWIW, you should be able to avoid this one from going wrong as good as
possible with comparing all (7) characters instead of just 1 ("B"). The
name isn't compliant with my (assumed) limit of 32 bytes, but OTOH there
is no reason to vice versa translate "Bold" to "Biggest". In Rexx, not
tested, and also taking "bOLD" into account:

IF Abbrev(Translate(lastword),"BOLD",Length(lastword))=1 THEN DO

This should compare "BIGGEST" with "BOLD" (fails) instead of comparing
it with "B" (passes; could be allright, depending on naming rules).
