Notes

All newly defined annotations and dimension annotations will be allocated the current font. At program startup and after a RESET, the current font is 1.

Font 1 may be redefined since Eagle version 14.4.6 b01. 

At program startup, Font 1 is automatically defined but fonts 2 through 15 are not. Any undefined fonts will default to Font 1 at drawing time.

A listing of currently defined fonts can also be obtained using the STATUS 8 command.

Eagle FNT files can be created using user-definable parameters via external font creation and font editing programs.
