RTF::Reader::Font
Interface to RTF fonts
To (hopefully) make document conversion from RTF easier, fonts are interfaced through a nice clean class of their own. That, and I don't like the thought of throwing around data structures, only to have the all-seeing Microsoft change the underlying structure of RTF documents, and mess up a bunch of legacy code.
An RTF::Reader::Font object represents a single font in a document.
RTF::Reader currently does NOT support embedded fonts. Patches (with copious accompanying tests) welcome.
Returns a string corresponding to the family of the font.
Stolen from the RTF spec (1.6): "RTF also supports font families, so that applications can attempt to intelligently choose fonts if the exact font is not present on the reading system. RTF uses the following [names] to describe the various font families."
Unknown or default fonts (the default)
Roman, proportionally spaced serif fonts eg: Times New Roman, Palatino
Swiss, proportionally spaced sans serif fonts eg: Arial
Fixed-pitch serif and sans serif fonts eg: Courier New, Pica
Script fonts eg: Cursive
Decorative fonts eg: Old English, ITC Zapf Chancery
Technical, symbol, and mathematical fonts eg: Symbol
Arabic, Hebrew, or other bidirectional font eg: Miriam
