The SETEDITBOXFONT statement sets the font used for the text of an edit box previously created with createditbox.

Any change to the font is carried out immediately, and the control is redrawn to reflect the new font style. It is your responsibility to ensure the font chosen for an edit box fits inside the edit box itself. Setting a font too large for the edit box will cause all pixels outside of the edit box boundary to be clipped.

Note that the seteditboxfontcol statement is approximately 4 times faster than this statement if the only requirement is to change the RGB colour of the font.
