fl (font_load) load a font for use in pads
usage: fl pathname [-i]
DESCRIPTION
The fl command loads a font for use in subsequent pads. Note that fonts
apply to pads, not windows, so any new window opened to an old pad uses
the old font.
You can load up to 50 fonts. The DM keeps track of fonts loaded by the
fl command or programs. It unloads fonts on a least-recently-used basis.
If you need to unload a font (to edit it with edfont for example), issue
an fl command for another font and close all the windows using the font
you wish to unload. If a program loaded the font, stop the program, and
close the window.
ARGUMENTS
pathname (required)
Specify the name of file containing font to be loaded.
The DM first looks up the given pathname directly, using
the user working and naming directory rules. If it does
not find the pathname, the DM then looks in the directory
/sys/dm/fonts.
OPTIONS
-i Specify that the font to be loaded is an icon font.
