The following apply: Parameter Meaning handle Workstation identifier mode Type of buffer 0 = Allocated size is large enough for bitmap and vector fonts with any special text effects (default) 1 = Size is governed by the bitmap fonts; one should forgo text effects for vector fonts 2 = Do not create a scratch buffer, and forgo text effects Notes: The scratch buffer is used for generation of text effects. As vector fonts are freely scalable, one cannot allocate a unique size for the scratch buffer. Atari recommends that at least mode 1 is set prior to vst_load_fonts to prevent scratch buffer overruns. Return value: This function does not return a result. Availability: FSM-GDOS, and SpeedoGDOS as of version 4.00. Group: Text attributes See Also: Binding GDOS SpeedoGDOS vst_effects
