Last reviewed: November 2, 1995

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) version 3.1
Microsoft Win32 SDK, versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0

The FORCEFONT Help project file (HPJ) option can only be used with the following font names:

   Helv
   Helvetica
   Courier
   Tms Rmn
   Times
   Symbol

Though Helv, Helvetica, Times, and Tms Rmn are not Windows 3.1 fonts, each of them is mapped to a 3.1 font in the [FontSubstitutes] section of WIN.INI by Windows Setup. They are mapped as follows:

   Helv=MS Sans Serif
   Tms Rmn=MS Serif
   Times=Times New Roman
   Helvetica=Arial

To force a Help file to use MS Sans Serif, the FORCEFONT option should be:

   FORCEFONT=Helv
