Example 7 — Using fonts and colors
Fonts
Fonts are the way characters are displayed on a sign. In the world of
printing and publishing, fonts are given names like Times or Helvetica
and qualities like serif or sans serif, font size (like 12 point or 14 point),
bold or italic, and so on:
The fonts available for your sign are in “Appendix A — Modes, fonts,
colors, and graphics available” on page 49.
Colors
Your sign can display up to eight colors — [GRN] for green, [RED]
for red, and so on — plus four special color combinations.

A — Modes, fonts, colors, and graphics available” on page 49.
