Purpose

Set the font used by text within pageGraphics until it is redefined.

We can set the font we want to use with the name, the size of the font and the leading between the lines.

Check out our docs page on this.

Example usage

<template title="myPage" lang="en-GB" pageSize="(595, 842)" leftMargin="72" showBoundary="0">
    <pageTemplate id="cover">
        <pageGraphics>
            <setFont name="Arial-Regular" size="9"/>
            <drawRightString x="555" y="20">Page <pageNumber/></drawRightString>
        </pageGraphics>
        <frame id="general" x1="30" y1="30" width="535" height="782"/>
    </pageTemplate>
</template>
