Detailed Description

Defines font family and style for text.

This node defines the current font family and style for all subsequent text shapes in the scene graph.

Note: The "name" field inherited from SoFont is ignored by SoFontStyle. This node maps font family and style to a specific predefined font, according to the OS in use. Use the getFontName() method to get the actual font name that will be used.

On Windows, the font families are mapped as follows:

SERIF	Times New Roman
SANS	Arial
TYPEWRITER	Courier New

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULT

FontStyle {

name	"defaultFont"
size	10
family	SERIF
style	NONE
renderStyle	POLYGON

}
