# Loading a Font

When you start up SISCAD-P , only one font, i.e. the system font d6776bs.fnt, will be loaded. This font will be used as a default whenever you create a text by command

> CREATE TEXT

In order to use other fonts - for example because you prefer another font for your text or because you need a specific symbol - you will first have to load the font you require by using the

> LOAD TEXTFONT.

command. Any number of fonts can be loaded.
The loaded fonts will be stored with the drawing, and when loading the drawing again they will always be loaded, too. This, of course, requires the fonts to be available. If they are not, all texts created with missing fonts will be represented by means of the system font.
