Yes, though it's hardly a simple example. All you need to do to use a
different font is to give a face's font object a different name taken
from your system's fonts. ie...
>> view layout [t: text "Hello"]
>> probe t/font
make object! [
name: "CGTriumvirate"
style: none
size: 12
color: 0.0.0
offset: 2x2
space: 0x0
align: 'left
valign: 'top
shadow: none
colors: [0.0.0 255.180.55]
]
That's the Amiga default font in View. (Well, at least on my system.)
To change it to the Times font (as an example) just use...
>> view layout [t: text "Hello" font [name: "Times"]]
>> probe t/font
make object! [
name: "Times"
style: none
size: 12
color: 0.0.0
offset: 2x2
space: 0x0
align: 'left
valign: 'top
shadow: none
colors: [0.0.0 255.180.55]
]
