6.8.2Deleting a font

To delete a font from the system, proceed as follows:

●You can only delete a font if it is not connected to other objects, e.g. assigned to a form as the default font. To display any references, use the following command:

xpshow -fnt font -diR

For font you specify exactly one font name you want to delete. If you want to delete several fonts, you must repeat this command for each of these fonts.

●If references to the font are displayed, you must remove these by modifying the displayed objects accordingly.

●Delete the font(s) with the following command: xpdel -fnt [selection]

For selection you can either specify a list of font names, or you can use the - scl “selection_criteria_list“ option (see section “Selection criteria list” on page 266 in the Appendix) to define a list of criteria according to which the fonts to be deleted are selected. If selection is not specified, all fonts (except GENERIC) are deleted.

Note: The default font GENERIC supplied with the Xprint V7.0 package cannot be deleted, even by the Xprint V7.0 administrator. Neither can those fonts be deleted that are still referenced by other objects, e.g. if the font my_font is used in the form my_form.

Examples

–To delete the fonts font1, font2 and font3 from the system: xpdel -fnt font1 font2 font3

–To delete all fonts with the attributes character style ITALICS and print quality
