Re: Use of system fonts?

[Ansley Manke <ansley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Jean-Marie,
There is not a way to change to system fonts within Ferret or
the postprocessing done by Fprint.  Possibly the best solution is
to use a graphics tool such as Illustrator.   Has anyone done this?

It sounds as if you have some ideas; if you work out methods of
customizing your plots, please post them to the Users' group.
