Field Notes
The font family is the name given to a set of fonts by a
font designer. The font family can identify generic names
(such as SANSERIF and SERIF) or proprietary names (such as
Clarendon or Lucida). The font family may have subfamilies.
If so, the subfamily is identified as part of the name
(for example, Lucida Blackletter). The font family is
specified by an SE_String field. The maximum length of a
font family name is 32 characters.
The font style specifies the appearance variation allowed
within the font family.
The font size specifies how big the text is to be presented.
Size is specified in points. It is assumed that an implementation
will provide a rational means of mapping points to the size of
text in a presentation. Default size is 11 points. Since this
element is specified as a float, the size specified may not be
mappable to the sizes available for a particular font family. In
that case, the size available that is nearest to the requested
size shall be used.
The underline style specifies how text is underlined.
The default style is NONE. If a style is specified that is not
recognized by an implementation, SINGLE shall be used. The
width of the line used to implement the underlining shall be
appropriate to the font size and font style specified.
