Details:
Font encapsulates all the aspects of a Windows font: its facename, style, and
size. Fonts are used within Phoenix to change the appearance of text displayed
by Controls and Forms. When a control's Font reference is assigned to a
particular font, that control will display text according to the properties of that
font. Also, as the properties of the font change, the text in each control whose
Font reference is assigned to that font will reflect the changing values. When
the Font reference of a Form is assigned to a particular font, ALL the controls
on the form that have Nothing as the value of their Font reference will
display text according to the properties of that font. The Hfont property is useful
for making certain Windows API calls.
