David,

Yeh, I figured it out.

First you list your available fonts:

DEVICE, GET_FONTNAMES=fnames, SET_FONT='*'
FOREACH element, fnames DO PRINT, 'Value = @', element,'@'

then you set one up, ie:

main_text_font = Obj_New('IDLgrFont', 'Franklin Gothic Demi', Size=10)

Seems to work !!

Thanks for your help.

George.
