Using different FONTS for ZEPHYR

There are 3 fonts defined for you in the standard (new) zwgc.  They are
"courier", "helvetica", and "times".  To use one of them, you can modify
the print statements in your .zwgc.desc file.  For example, changing the
line

        print $body

to

        print "@helvetica("+$body+")"

will cause the body of your messages to be printed in the Helvetica font.

You can also send someone a message in times by just putting the font
command in the text of the message.  For example, I could zwrite to you
and put:

	the next line will be in "times" font.
	@times(this line is in "times".)
	this line is back to the default font.

in the message, and the times font would be used for the second line.
Anything that is not specified in a different font will use the default font
(which is set to courier by default), but the default font can be changed, if
you like.  For more information on how to do this, check the answer 
"Changing Default FONT for Zephyr" under the Zephyr topic.

You can also define your own fonts, if you like.  For more information
this, check the answer "DEFINING Fonts for Zephyr" under Zephyr.
