Summary:

Question: You can define the same font name twice and the compiler will not complain. The font defined second is the one that is used in runtime. Why does the compiler not display an error message?

Solution:

This is actually a feature as it allows you to override the default fonts in the INCLUDE project. The compiler will not generate an error message when you re-define the same font more than once. The Citect runtime will use the last defined font so you may override the effects of the INCLUDE project.
