TextFont sets the txFont field of the current GrafPort. Subsequent text
drawing will use the specified font.
fontNo is a font number. The following Standard Fonts are available as
system- defined constants:
systemFont 0 System default font; "Chicago
applFont 1 default application font; initially "Geneva
newYork 2

See Standard Fonts for a graphic depiction of these fonts. Use
GetFNum if you know the font's name, but not its number.
Returns: none
Notes: Be sure to call InitFonts (once, early in the program, after InitGraf and
before InitWindows). This ensures that the Font Manager is properly
initialized for text drawing.
The initial value for txFont is 0, specifying the system font, Chicago. You
can read the current value from the GrafPort structure:
curFont = thePort->txFont;
The appearance of the text is also affected by the txFace, txSize, and txMode
fields of the current GrafPort. Refer to TextFace, TextMode, and
TextSize.
