The default font table was chosen to match, where possible, the default font assignments made by the Computer Graphics Metafile input filter for Microsoft Word 6.0c, although the filter makes available only 'Arial' and 'Times Roman' fonts and their bold and/or italic variants. Other fonts such as 'Helvetica' and 'Roman' are not available. If the CGM file includes a font table, the filter mostly ignores it. However, it changes certain font assignments so that they disagree with the table. As a workaround, the winword6 option deletes the font table from the CGM file. In this case, the filter makes predictable font assignments. 'Arial Bold' is correctly assigned even with the font table present, which is one reason it was chosen as the default.
winword6 disables the color tables for a similar reason---with the color table included, Microsoft Word displays black for color 7.
Linewidths and pointsizes may be changed with set linestyle.
