Problem:
When you save the screenset how does it know what STYLENAME to use?
Resolution:
If you specify a font side file and save a screenset, the characteristics of each defined style are saved in a text file with a .dft extension whenever the screenset is saved. The screenset can contain fonts defined in more than one environment. In this case entries are generated for each environment. If the file already exists, the styles are appended.
For example, if you use a style name of "Heading1" to represent a typeface of Helvetica (Helv under Windows) bold 12 points, Dialog System saves the following definition in the .dft file:
[WINDOWS]
FONT-RECORD
STYLENAME Heading1
ATTRIBUTES BITMAPPED, PROPORTIONAL
POINTSIZE 12
TYPEFACE "Helv"
END-RECORD
