Element: font.file

Type

string

Description

The name of the disc file containing the font information.

On Unix systems, this name will be used to look up the font in the X-11 font directory.

For graphic fonts this will be a font file (typically with an extension .fnt) created by the utility program genfont.

This value can be changed in order to replace one font with another, but a system font cannot be replaced by a graphic font and vice versa.
