Summary

Returns all coordinate, dimension (except center dimension), drill table, layer stack table, and text string (comment, designator, free) objects whose TrueType Font Name property complies with the Query.

Syntax

FontName = FontName_String FontName <> FontName_String

FontName_String must use one of the names of the available TrueType and OpenType (a superset of TrueType) fonts, found in the \Windows\Fonts folder.

Font names are case sensitive. So for example use 'Arial', and not 'arial'.

Example Usage

FontName = 'Arial'
Returns all coordinate, dimension (except center dimension), drill table, layer stack table, and text string (comment, designator, free) objects whose TrueType Font Name property is Arial.

FontName <> 'Batang'
Returns all objects except coordinate, dimension (except center dimension), drill table, layer stack table, and text string (comment, designator, free) objects whose TrueType Font Name property is Batang.

Tips

The single quote characters (') at the start and end of FontName_String are mandatory.
The TrueType Font Name property is only defined for coordinate, dimension (except center dimension), drill table, layer stack table, and text string (comment, designator, free) objects.
