     GETFONT(9.1)                                         GETFONT(9.1)

     NAME
          getfont - replace terminal's default font

     SYNOPSIS
          getfont [ option ... ] [ font ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Getfont reads font data from file font. The current layer
          and subsequently created layers use this font as defont; see
          string(9.3). If font does not directly name a file, it is
          looked for in directory

          The options are:

          -m   The font change applies to the basic mux(9.1) menu as
               well as to layers.

          -l   The font change applies to the current layer only.

          -d   Print debugging information about fonts before and
               after.

          Getfont discards inaccessible fonts.  To reclaim store with-
          out loading a font, call it with no font argument.

     EXAMPLES
          getfont pelm.10
               Larger type for demos and eyesight problems.

          getfont defont
               Restore the original font.
