The fonts supplied with ESL reside in font resource DLLs named ESLMONO.TTF, ESLCAPS.TTF etc.

These fonts can be loaded when the ESL runtime starts running, via the FONTDLL parameter, although it is recommended an Administrator User installs all required fonts for all users. If required, you can load additional font resource DLLs by using the "FONTDLL" ESLCONFIG.INI option. For example, if you have created your own set of font resources (the Windows Software Development Kit is required to do this) and placed them in a DLL called MYFONTS.FON, you can have ESL load the DLL by adding the following line to ESLCONFIG.INI:

FONTDLL=myfonts.fon

Separate each DLL name with a semicolon (or the character defined by the ARGSEP parameter). Once the fonts are loaded or installed, you can specify their face names within "font is" statements.

Font setting within Layout Editor

When working with Layout Editor using an existing dialog, if a control is amended, that does not already have a specified font, then the default font is added as an attribute of the control, typically this is the "system" font.
