Description

Font is a TFont property which contains the font used to render text on the drawing surface. Values in Font determine the formatting / layout applied in methods that render text, like TextOut and TextRect. Setting a new value in Font calls the Assign method in the class instance to store the new values. Property values in Font can also be modified directly to use the desired values.

The values assigned in Font are used in methods that calculate the size for text like TextExtent, TextHeight, TextWidth, and TextFitInfo.
