FONT subcommand
Use the FONT subcommand in a SELECT command, FIELD command, or a SETTING command to employ a font previously defined by a FONT command in the global report block or in the local definition blocks of the report you are changing.
To use the Report Editor to specify a FONT subcommand in the SETTING command, use the default font options in the Report Body area of the Page Setup dialog to access the Font dialog.

Do not confuse the FONT subcommand with the FONT command (see FONT command and subcommand overview).
FONT subcommand structure
The structure of the FONT subcommand is similar regardless of the command keyword you are using. However, the FIELD and SETTING commands require a { (BEGIN) statement before and an } (END) statement after its subcommand like this:
FIELD { FONT font-identifier }
SETTING { FONT font-identifier }
SELECT FONT font-identifier
The font-identifier used by this subcommand is a user-defined font you must define in either the global definition block or the local definition block.
