The Font dialog box allows you to select a font for the element you are editing. It should be noted that the fonts displayed are IBM i fonts.

Only fonts contained within the Installed Font Libraries selected in the Server Options (View | Options | Server tab) will be displayed.

Note: If the codepage you have selected for your Document Language Defaults includes DBCS fonts then you will see the DBCS Font button which allows you to select the DBCS font for any double byte data in the selected element. Click the button and pick the font in the usual way.
