Font objects are used to specify how text is rendered. Fonts consist of at least a font family, size and color. They may also have a font style (italic or bold) and a halo Pen.
If a halo is specified, it is drawn by stroking the outline of the fonts path with the pen. The font is then rendered over the top of this. As a result, the visible halo will be approximately half the thickness of the pen.
It is possible to render just an outline halo by setting color to null.
SyntaxFONT<family[-bold][-italic], size, color[, halo pen]>
