The SETMEMOBOXFONT statement sets the font used for the text in a memo box.

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 a memo box fits inside the control itself. Setting a font too large for the memo box will cause all pixels outside of the memo box boundary to be clipped.

The font used for the memobox controls the number of visible lines/items. To fine-tune the position and clipping of text items in the control, refer to the setmemoboxtextrect statement.

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