font The font attribute specifies the typeface for text. WxML does not support specific fonts by name. Instead, it supports a set of general font types, which are described below.

Supporting Tags The font attribute is currently supported by the <textStyle> tag. The default value is "standard".

Examples <textStyle font="sansSerif" style="bold"/> <textStyle font="serif" size="18"/> <textStyle font="monospace" style="underline+bold+italic"/> <textStyle font="script"/>

Notes Because font availability and appearance is platform-dependent, WxML does not support specific fonts by name. WxML's generic font types are mapped to specific fonts on Macintosh and Windows. Supported values for the font attribute, along with the platform-specific fonts they map to, are listed below. value Macintosh Windows  standard Geneva Arial serif Times Times New Roman sansSerif Helvetica Helvetica monospace Monaco Courier New script Apple Chancery Brush Script MT
