You first create a new MetaFont using the CreateMetaFont() function. E.g. to create a plain 9 point Arial MetaFont you could do:
CreateMetaFont("Arial9","Arial",9,0,0,0,0);
The you use the new font name as the MetaFont parameter in the PlotText() function:
PlotText(panel,control,xpos,ypos,"Some Text","Arial9",VAL_BLACK,VAL_WHITE);
