If it's a program that you're writing, and the font name is "Favorite",
then

  (make-object font% 12 "Favorite" 'default 'normal 'normal)

produces a font% object for drawing with "Favorite" into a canvas's
dc<%> or a printer-dc%.


If you want to change one of the mappings for generic "families"
('default, 'roman, 'modern, etc.) used by all programs, then you'll
have to edit "plt-prefs.ss" by hand, adding something like

 (|MrEd:ScreenDefault__| "Favorite")

See

for more details.


In either case, try `(get-face-list)' or `(get-font-from-user)' to see
the list of installed fonts that MrEd can access.
