Base SAS 9.1 Procedures Guide, Volumes 1, 2, 3 and 4

Interaction: If no statements are specified, then PROC FONTREG searches for TrueType font files in the directory that is indicated in the FONTSLOC= SAS system option.

Tip: If more than one statement is specified, then the statements are executed in the order in which they appear. You can use the same statement more than once in a single PROC FONTREG step.

See FONTREG Procedure in SAS Companion for z/OS

PROC FONTREG < option(s) >;

• FONTFILE file < file >;

• FONTPATH directory < directory >;

• TRUETYPE directory < directory >;

• TYPE1 directory < directory >;

Operating Environment Information: For z/OS sites that do not use the hierarchical file system (HFS), only the FONTFILE statement is supported. See FONTREG Procedure in SAS Companion for z/OS for details.

• NOUPDATE

  • specifies that the procedure should run without actually updating the SAS registry. This option enables you to test the procedure on the specified fonts before modifying the SAS registry.

  • specifies that the SAS registry in the SASHELP library should be updated. You must have write access to the SASHELP library in order to use this option. If the USESASHELP option is not specified, then the SAS registry in the SASUSER library is updated.

FONTFILE Statement

Specifies one or more font files to be processed .

Featured in: Example 1 on page 425

FONTFILE file < file >;

FONTPATH Statement

Specifies one or more directories to be searched for valid font files to process.

Featured in: Example 2 on page 426

FONTPATH directory < directory >;

Argument

directory

• specifies a directory to search. All files that are recognized as valid font files are processed. Each directory must be enclosed in quotation marks. If you specify more than one directory, then you must separate the directories with a space.

TRUETYPE Statement

Specifies one or more directories to be searched for TrueType font files.

Featured in: Example 3 on page 427

TRUETYPE directory < directory >;

Argument

directory

• specifies a directory to search. Only files that are recognized as valid TrueType font files are processed. Each directory must be enclosed in quotation marks. If you specify more than one directory, then you must separate the directories with a space.

TYPE1 Statement (Experimental)

Specifies one or more directories to be searched for valid Type 1 font files.

TYPE1 directory < directory >;
