Type fonts specify the appearance characteristics of text. A font specification consists of three components: a face, a size, and a style.
fontface | ::= | expr V | │ │ │ │ │ |
M,DEFAULT M,FIXED M,SANS M,SERIF alpha chars |
│ │ │ │ │ |
The following fontface values are defined:
M,DEFAULT | Default type face of the underlying windowing platform. |
M,FIXED | A non-proportional type face. |
M,SANS | A proportional type face from a sans-serif family. |
M,SERIF | A proportional type face from a serif family. |
fontface values not beginning with "M," may be used by implementors to identify additional type faces.
expr V numlit |
Positive numeric values for fontsize specify the size of displayed text measured in points. A point is 1/72 inches.
fontstyle | ::= | expr V | │ │ │ |
NORMAL fstyle [ , fstyle ] ... |
│ │ │ |
fstyle | ::= | │ │ │ │ │ |
BOLD ITALIC ULINE implementationvalue |
│ │ │ │ │ |
If fontstyle includes the fstyle BOLD, the text is displayed in bold face. If fontstyle includes the fstyle ITALIC, the text is displayed italicized. If fontstyle includes the fstyle ULINE, the text is displayed underlined.
If a font requested by an application cannot be provided, an alternative font with different fontface, fontsize, and/or fontstyle values may be substituted by the underlying windowing platform or the MWAPI implementation. Any references to attributes identifying fonts (including attributes to which values beginning with "M," have been assigned) yield information about the actual font.
