The Font class is a wrapper class for the Win32 API LOGFONT structure. The structure holds a large set of properties; however, we only take into consideration the fields for the font's name and size and whether the font is italic, bold, or underlined; the other fields are set to zero. The system font is the font where all fields in the LOGFONT structure are set to zero, which results in the standard font of the system. Finally, the Font class also includes a Color object.

Font();
