What is a font?

A font is a combination of these:

• A typeface or style of printable characters
• A group of characters for selection (described in Font Architecture)
• A map that determines which of the selected characters is to be printed or displayed (described in Font Architecture)

A font can include letters, numbers, punctuation marks and special characters. To add variety to your documents, you can include fonts of various sizes, styles, weights, and orientations
