The Font menu provides choices of text fonts for users. A font is a set of typographical characters created with a consistent design. All the characters in a font share features such as the thickness of horizontal and vertical lines, the degree and position of curves, and the presence or absence of serifs.
Serifs are fine lines added to the main strokes of a letter.
The characters in a font can appear in many different point sizes, but all have the same general appearance, regardless of size. Your application can include a Font menu if you support text in your application. Not all applications need a Font menu, but all word processors should include a Font menu. Fonts appear in the Font menu in alphabetical order, grouped by script system when more than one script is installed. When the script system is installed, the font name of an international font appears in its corresponding script when it is localized.
