My understanding is that the built in fonts are fixed in size. They are not
inherently scalable, like PostScript or TrueType. The FntDefineFont
function is for adding a new font to the system (as in the example at the
site).
It is possible to patch in new fonts for older PalmOSs as well, but that is
a little uglier.
In either case, you have to have a font to use...

Thanks for the link. But what I need is some way for changing Font within
my application. Is it possible without using a pbd for Font?

For an example of how to use FntDefineFont check out:

Subject: Defining Custom Font
Hi All,
I want to Change the size of fonts of my application to be different than
the size defined for the device.
I have used the following code to do so .I take a fonttype and define a
font then i use a pointer to change the values of certain parameters
and then use the pointeer to define my custom font
but in the end the application crashes when I use windrawchars to draw the
fonts on my screen
FontPtr fontP;
FontType FONT;
fontP = &FONT;
FntSetFont(boldFont);
WinDrawChars("Test",StrLen("Test"),20,48); // Test
before setting size of Font
fontP->fRectWidth = 4;
fontP->fRectHeight = 4;
FntDefineFont(fntAppFontCustomBase,fontP);
FntSetFont(fntAppFontCustomBase);
FrmDrawForm(frmP);
WinDrawChars("Test",StrLen("Test"),20,60);
Thanks in advance.
