GPCRFD - Create Font Directory

Purpose

Use GPCRFD to create a font directory and attach it to your application. A font directory allows your application to send geometric text font files to a nucleus. The graPHIGS API uses these files to display geometric text on a workstation. (To accomplish this, your application must also associate the font directory to the workstation and activate the font on the workstation)

This subroutine is not required unless your application needs to replace the font files of the nucleus. By default, a workstation has access to the font files that reside on the nucleus. When overriding a nucleus font file, your application creates a font directory to store the font file that is to be loaded from your application's set of fonts.
