Subject:      SAS/Graph: How to undo a font (f=) change?
Comments: To: sas-l@uga.edu
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

In all my SAS graphic macros, I've tried to be careful to avoid
device-specific dependencies whereever I could.

As a result, all my macros avoid specifying fonts for text, annotations,
and titles, relying instead on whatever graphic options, e.g., FTITLE=,
FTEXT=, you have in place, and similarly for font sizes, using your
HTITLE= and HTEXT= settings.

But I have a problem in any macro where I need to change a font to get
a special character, and then revert to the previous font (whatever it
was).  e.g.,

       axis2 label=('Box-Cox Power (' f=cgreek 'l' ')' );

I've tried using
      axis2 label=('Box-Cox Power (' f=cgreek 'l' font=  ')' );
but this doesn't work.
