TObject

Description

TFont is a TFPCustomFont descendant, and provides properties and methods needed to represent a font used in an LCL application.

Most of the information about the font is provided in a TFontData instance used in protected methods like GetData and SetData. Data items in the structure are exposed as properties, and includes: CharSet, Color, Height,Name, Orientation, Pitch, Quality, Size, and Style.

The Reference property provides access to the font Handle in the widgetset implementation.
