It is mandatory to call this method at least once before printing text or the resulting document would not be valid. <BR> The font can be either a standard one or a font added via the AddFont() method. Standard fonts use Windows encoding cp1252 (Western Europe). <BR> The method can be called before the first page is created and the font is retained from page to page. <BR> If you just wish to change the current font size, it is simpler to call SetFontSize(). <BR> <BR> <B>Note:</B> the font metric files must be accessible.
