the FontID() function takes the index of the font in your document as its argument so, in your case, you would use:

Qp.SelectFont(QP.FontID(1));
for non bold and
 
Qp.SelectFont(QP.FontID(2));

Thanks for the reply. I add all the fonts at the outset (ie Helvetica and HelveticaBold.

I then select them using the function in my original reply. I assumje I don't want to go adding the same font over and over again when I switch between bold and non-bold. If this assumption is correct, why does the function that I am using for selecting the fonts not seem to work.

 

Thanks

You need to use the result of the AddStandardFont function to select the font. In Pascal it would be:
 
var afont: integer;
 
afont := qp.AddStandardFont(5);
 
qp.SelectFont(afont);

Hi,
 
I can't quite figure out how to switch between bold and non-bold text.
 
I am adding fonts to my dcument as follows:
 
QP.AddStandardFont(4);
QP.AddStandardFont(5);
 
This gives me helvetica and helvetica bold.
 
I am then calling
Qp.SelectFont(QP.FontID(4));
for non bold and
 
Qp.SelectFont(QP.FontID(5));
 
to switch to bold. But whichver one I opt for first sticks for the remainder of the document and the switch makes no difference.
 
First, am I approaching this in the correct way and if so what more do I need to do.
 
Thanks
 
Mark
