Greetings,


    How does one set a font so that subsequent drawing using PSshow
will draw in the font specified.  I am currently using a font object
and doing this:

    [currentFont set];
    PSmoveto(x, y);
    PSshow("text");

    I do not want to call the "set" method every time I draw text,
is this possible?  I have also tried PSselect, its still the same.


    BTW, what's the difference between using PSselect, or sending
"set" to a Font object?  Also, how does one get PSselect to get
a Flipped font so that text are not drawn upside down in a Flipped
view?

    Thanks in advance!
