Warning
From version 27, this property is kept for backward compatibility. It is recommended to use the new CharacterSpacing property to manage character spacing.

Find out whether a Font variable is extended.
Extend (or not) a Font variable.

Remark: Stretched font characters can be:

Normal: characters are normal.
Condensed: characters are narrower (Condensed property).
Extended: the width of characters is increased.
Large: characters are as wide as possible (Large property).

Example

// Define the characteristics of a font variable
Font1 is Font
Font1.Name = "Arial"
Font1.Size = 14
Font1.Extended = True
// Apply the font to "MyControl"
MyControl.Font = Font1

Font variable

A font can be created from a Font variable.

To define the font characteristics, use:

the FontCreate function,
the Charset, Orientation, StrikeOut, Condensed, Color, Bold, Italic, Large, Name, Underline and Size properties.

This font can be used:

To write text in drawings (dFont).
To write in charts (grLabelFont, grLegendFont, grTitleFont and grAxisTitleFont).
To print (iFont).
In the controls of a window (Font property).
In the controls of a report (Font property).

Limits

The properties that define character stretch options (Condensed, Extended and Large properties) are supported only if the specified Font variable is used for printing (print font or font of controls in a report).

In the other cases (font used for the drawings, the charts or the window controls), these characteristics are ignored.
