    The following tables list the members exposed by Font.

    Public Properties
     NameDescription
    Public PropertyAvgCharWidthGets the Average Character Width parameter specifies the arithmetic average of the escapement (width) of all non-zero width glyphs in the font.  
    Public PropertyCanEmbedGets a value indicating whether this font can be embedded.  
    Public PropertyCanSubsetGets a value indicating whether this font can be serialized as a subset of the source font data.  
    Public PropertyCapHeightGets the metric specifying the distance between the baseline and the approximate height of uppercase letters measured in FUnits.
