Label Stacks

[Knecht, David]

In Label Stacks, what determines the font and style if the "use text tool font" is unchecked?  
What command would set this in a macro?

The Image>Stacks>Label command uses "SansSerif" and PLAIN if "Use text tool font" is unchecked, otherwise it uses the font and style defined in the Edit>Options>Fonts dialog box. Here is a macro example that sets the font to "Times" and the style to BOLD+ITALIC:

 newImage("Untitled", "8-bit Black", 500, 500, 100);
 style = 3; // Font.BOLD+Font.ITALIC;
 call("ij.gui.TextRoi.setFont", "Times", 80, style)
 run("Label...", "format=0000 x=50 y=200 font=80 text=Image use use_text");

IJ's default font: Regular sans-serif (cf eg, Stack>Make Montage, Overlays>
labels). Size is 18 unless a rectangular selection exists. In this case is the
ROI's height. (BTW, input values <7 and >80 are ignored).

Unless your question is: What is Java's default sans typeface?
I am no typography expert but it looks Lucida Sans to me. You could check what
fonts you have installed in your jre/lib/font directory.
