Class FontFace

Base class for font faces

FontFace represents a particular font at a particular weight, slant, and other characteristic but no size, transformation, or size.

Font faces are created using font-backend-specific classes, typically of the form *FontFace, or implicitly using the toy text API by way of Context.selectFontFace(). The resulting face can be accessed using Context.getFontFace().
