    ButtonGadget(0, 10, 10, 200, 30, "Click to change the font...")
    Font1 = LoadFont(#PB_Any, "Arial"  ,  8, #PB_Font_Bold)
    Font2 = LoadFont(#PB_Any, "Verdana", 12, #PB_Font_StrikeOut)
    UsedFont = 1
  EndIf

  Repeat
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()

  If Event = #PB_Event_Gadget
    If EventGadget() = 0
      If UsedFont = 1
        SetGadgetFont(0, FontID(Font2))
        UsedFont = 2
      Else
        SetGadgetFont(0, FontID(Font1))
        UsedFont = 1
      EndIf
    EndIf
  EndIf
