Details

• Font objects, similar to XML <Font> elements, may be used to create a common font pattern assigned to several widgets via FontInstance:SetFontObject(fontObject).
  • Subsequently changing the font object will affect the text displayed on every widget it was assigned to.
• Since the new font object is created without any properties, it should be initialized via FontInstance:SetFont(path, height [, flags]) or Font:CopyFontObject(otherFont).
