public class Font : Widget
```

Defines a format for text

**Remarks:** A font is typically defined with a specified font family, with a given typeface. Each typeface has certain characteristics that define the variation of the font family, for example Bold, or Italic. You can get a list of [FontFamily](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.fontfamily.md) objects available in the current system using [Fonts.AvailableFontFamilies](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.fonts/availablefontfamilies.md), which can then be used to create an instance of a font.
