Font Property

Defined By: Printer

Description:

The Font property is a reference to a Font object that controls the display appearance of text drawn in a Window. Font objects have properties that define the font name as well as characteristics such as the font sizes, whether it is bold or italic, and so on.

Details:

If the Font property of a control is not specified (i.e. is Nothing), then the control’s font is determined by its parent. If the control’s parent also does not have a font, then the parent’s parent is checked, and so on until a top-level window is reached. If no window in the parent chain defines a specific font, then the system default font is used. This allows you to conveniently set the font for all the controls on a form with one operation, while still being able to override the font for a few specific controls.
