background : {list(nonnegint),symbol,string}:=[255,255,255] ; The background color for text. The passed value can be either a named color or a list of three integers each between 0 and 255. A list of non-negative integers is interpreted as RGB values in a 24bit 3-channel color space. The default value is [255,255,255] which corresponds to white.

bold : truefalse:=false ; Whether text will be shown in bold.

color : {list(nonnegint),symbol,string}:=[0,0,0] ; The foreground color for text. The passed value can be either a named color or a list of three integers each between 0 and 255. A list of nonnegative integers is interpreted as RGB values in a 24bit 3-channel color space. The default value is [0,0,0] which corresponds to black.

encoding : identical("UTF-8"):=NULL ; Indicates that UTF-8 encoding shall be used. The default is NULL.

family : identical("Times New Roman","Courier","DejaVu Sans","DejaVu Serif","Helvetica","Lucida Sans"):="Times New Roman" ; The font family to be used for displayed text.

italic : truefalse:=false ; Whether text will be shown in italics.

opaque : truefalse ; Whether the background color will be opaque, in which case any underlying color such as the fillcolor of a Table Cell will show. The default value is false when background is white, and true otherwise.

size : posint:=12 ; The size of the text font.

style : identical(Text,Hyperlink):=Text ; A worksheet style for text.

superscript : truefalse:=false ; Whether the text will be displayed in the superscript position.

underline : truefalse:=false ; Whether text will be shown underlined.

The Font command provides a modifier for a string of text appearing in a Textfield.

An Font element is returned as an XML function call.

The generated XML may be used with the results of additional commands in the Layout Constructors package to create an entire Worksheet or Document in XML form. Such a representation of a Worksheet or Document may be inserted into the current document using the InsertContent command.
