    Public Properties
     NameDescription
    Public PropertyGets the Average Character Width parameter specifies the arithmetic average of the escapement (width) of all non-zero width glyphs in the font.  
    Public PropertyGets a value indicating whether this font can be embedded.  
    Public PropertyGets a value indicating whether this font can be serialized as a subset of the source font data.  
    Public PropertyGets the metric specifying the distance between the baseline and the approximate height of uppercase letters measured in FUnits.  
    Public PropertyGets a value indicating if the font was loaded from .ttc or .otc font collection.  
    Public PropertyGets a value indicating if the font is in WOFF format.  
    Public PropertyGets or sets a value indicating if the TrueType glyph hinting instructions can be executed.

    By default hinting instructions are enabled, but note that only some TrueType fonts include such instructions. For fonts that do not include glyph instructions, this property will always return false.

    Also note that this property affects text drawing on GcBitmapGraphics only.

    Public PropertyGets the maximum Unicode index (character code) in this font.  
    Public PropertyGets a value indicating if the glyphs encoded in the cmap subtables are simply generic symbolic representations of code point ranges and don’t truly represent support for those code points.  
    Public PropertyGets the array of localized font family names with associated language IDs.  
    Public PropertyGets the array of localized font names reflecting all family and relevant subfamily descriptors, with associated language IDs.  
    Public PropertyGets the array of localized names for the typographic family group, with associated language IDs.  
    Public PropertyGets the math baseline, in design units relative to the Roman baseline.  
    Public PropertyGets a value indicating if characters have their foreground and background reversed.  
    Public PropertyGets the number of glyphs in the Font.  
    Public PropertyGets the 10-byte series of numbers that is used to describe the visual characteristics of a typeface.  
    Public PropertyGets or sets a value indicating that the developer of the software has obtained explicit permission from the legal owner of the font to embed it in documents produced by the software.

    See https for details.

    The default is false.

     
    Public PropertyGets a value indicating if the current font contains PostScript outlines.  
    Public PropertyGets the PostScript name for the font.  
    Public PropertyGets the metric specifying the distance between the baseline and the approximate height of non-ascending lowercase letters measured in FUnits.  
    Public PropertyGets a value indicating if characters are overstruck.  
    Public PropertyGets the position of the top of the strikethrough stroke relative to the baseline in font design units.  
    Public PropertyGets the thickness of the strikethrough stroke in font design units.

    Public PropertyGets or sets the custom data associated with the Font.  
    Public PropertyGets the typographic family grouping name.

    The typographic family grouping doesn't impose any constraints on the number of faces within it, in contrast with the 4-style family grouping.

     
    Public PropertyGets the suggested distance of the top of the underline from the baseline (negative values indicate below baseline).  
    Public PropertyGets the suggested value for the underline thickness.
