A font is a collection of characters and symbols that share a common design. The major elements of a font include its typeface, style, and size.
In WFC, Windows fonts are encapsulated in the Font object. You can use this object in combination with other font-related objects to define a limitless variety of fonts for display on a Graphics object.
The following table lists the font-related classes supported by WFC.
| Class | Description |
