}

Creates a font object that defines the font family, font face, style, and size. Supports TrueType fonts.

Fields

EMBEDDED

Indicates the new font should be linked to a privately embedded font.

STRIKEOUT

Indicates that text drawn using the new font should be struck out.

UNDERLINE

Indicates that text drawn using the new font should be underlined.

OUTLINE

Indicates that the text drawn using the new font should be drawn using the outline of the glyph. This is only supported by certain fonts in the system, and only GraphicsX will support this feature. Trying to draw outline fonts using a Win32Graphics object will result in the glyph being drawn normally.
