Syntax Rules
Here are the general syntax rules for the font definition files:
- A semicolon (;) in the first column of any of these files will cause the line to be treated as a comment statement and ignored.
- Section headers within files are enclosed either in brackets (<> or []) with no spaces and must not be removed or changed.
- All values are case insensitive.
- If a parameter value is invalid and a default value exists, it will be substituted.
- All parameters are positional.
- Blanks are allowed between parameter values.
- The question mark (?) is used in some areas as a single wildcard character.
- If the resource file exists in DEFLIB directory and contains valid data conforming to these specifications, it will be loaded and used.
- If bad data is encountered in the file, either the offending record is ignored or a warning is issued. If the file is considered corrupt or invalid enough, it may not be used at all.
