I see that the Font_Descriptor function can do this job probably. Now I want to know which fonts I can specify in this function? Do I need to specify the same font name that you see when you drop down the font list in Microsoft Word, for example? How do I specify the font name under Linux (Fedora/Ubuntu)? I don't understand the angle parameter. Thanks in advance for the help.
