Syntax

SIMFONT=software-font

software-font: specifies a software font to use instead of the default hardware font. By default, this is the SIMULATE font, which is stored in the SASHELP.FONTS catalog.

SAS/GRAPH substitutes the software font specified by the SIMFONT= option for the default hardware font in these cases:

when you use the NOCHARACTERS option in a GOPTIONS statement
when you specify a non-default value for the HPOS= or VPOS= graphics option and your device does not have scalable hardware characters
when you replay a graph using a device driver other than the one used to create the graph
when you specify an angle or rotation for your hardware text that the device is not capable of producing
when you specify a hardware font that is not supported by your device.

See SAS/GRAPH Fonts for details.
