-Specifying a family, rather than a specific typeface name, ensures a degree of portability
-across platforms because a suitable font will be chosen for the given font family.
-
-Under Windows, the face name can be one of the installed fonts on the user's system. Since
-the choice of fonts differs from system to system, either choose standard Windows fonts,
-or if allowing the user to specify a face name, store the family id with any file that
-might be transported to a different Windows machine or other platform.
-
-\normalbox{{\bf Note:} There is currently a difference between the appearance of fonts on the
-two platforms, if the mapping mode is anything other than MM\_TEXT.
-Under X, font size is always specified in points. Under MS Windows, the
-unit for text is points but the text is scaled according to the
-current mapping mode. However, user scaling on a device canvas will
-also scale fonts under both environments.}
