font (Properties for a Single Font)

This element specifies the properties for one of the fonts used in this document. A font element shall be written out for each font face used in the document, and includes:

• The name of the font as used in the document's stories

• (optionally) Font metrics allowing other applications to locate appropriate substitute fonts as needed

• (optionally) Embedded forms of the font

[Example: Consider the following information stored for a single font:

<w:font w:name="Times New Roman">
<w:panose1 w:val="02020603050405020304" />
<w:charset w:val="00" />
<w:family w:val="roman" />
<w:pitch w:val="variable" />
<w:sig w:usb0="20002A87" w:usb1="80000000" w:usb2="00000008" w:usb3="00000000" w:csb0="000001FF" w:csb1="00000000" />
</w:font>

The font element contains information about the Times New Roman font; specifically, information used to locate a substitute font if it is not available. end example]
