Title: "FonT deprecated. What to use instead'
Post by: mtanner on May 13, 2017, 04:40:48 pm: I get the message Symbol "Font" is deprecated. I'd be curious to understand why, but mostly I'd just like to know how to refer to a font (so I can change font characteristics from my code) and not get this warning message.

No idea what "bitness" is.

The deprecated entry should really have mentioned that, which in turn would output in the compiler messages. For some years now FPC supports messages with the deprecated keyword.

See the "Free Pascal Language Reference (https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/ref/refse5.html#x16-150001.5)" document, Section 1.5 "Hint directives".
