Action Item: PROPOSAL: setStyleProperty - text-font

[Dieter Weidenbrück <dieter@itedo.com>]

All,

 

here is my proposal regarding the text-font style property:

 

"text-font: The text-font style property redefines the text font that is used for drawing graphical text within the APS to which it is applied. Text-font corresponds to the font set inside a CGM using the FONT LIST and TEXT FONT INDEX elements. The required behavior is as follows: the application needs to check first whether the specified font resource exists. If so, it has to further ensure that all glyphs of the text it will be applied to exist in that font. If both checks are successful, the application shall apply the font to the text. In all other cases the text remains unchanged."

 

 

Comment: I wanted to specify a simply yet clear way for a successful font change. By restricting it to the cases where the font is installed and appropriate I think this can be accomplished.

 

Regards,

Dieter
