In order to use character fonts in screen masks, you first need to declare them in the Font Editor for Embedded HMI. Each font declared can be defined as:

• either a system font if available on your display device
• or a specific user-defined charcter font (see below)

User defined character fonts are stored in files suffixed with ".K5FNT" and created with a tool installed with the Workbench Studio.

To create or change a specific character font run the "Font Editor" command from the popu menu.

If you don't specify any path for a font file, it is searched in the \FONT folder where the Workbench Studio is installed.

Font IDs can be directly used in IEC programs as integer values, in order for example to set a dynamically changed font to an object through a variable. You don't need to declare or define font IDs in the IEC application. Their name are automatically known by the compiler.
