Dos version, eh?  I don't know how different it is, so I don't know how much we can help you with that.  But, if you want help, you're definately going to have to give us some more detail.

Your probably talking about the command to output text in a different font.
To do that you need to use either the Font.Draw or the Draw.Text command, they do the same thing.

So, 1st, you need to declare a variable for your font. This is how you do it:
 var font id :int :=Font.New ("(font):(size)")
Substitute font id for a variable name, sub. a font name for (font), and a font size for (size).
Next, you need to actually output something, and that is dont with the Font.Draw command, or the Draw.Text command. Like this:
Font.Draw ("(string)",x,y,font id,colour)
You could put Draw.Text in instead of Font.Draw, the rest is the same.
Sub. in words for (string), x and y are your start positions, and font id, is the variable you declared at the top.
