 <h4 class="subsection">Font Type</h4> <p>A <em>font</em> specifies how to display text on a graphical terminal. There are actually three separate font types—<em>font objects</em>, <em>font specs</em>, and <em>font entities</em>—each of which has slightly different properties. None of them have a read syntax; their print syntax looks like ‘<samp>#&lt;font-object&gt;</samp>’, ‘<samp>#&lt;font-spec&gt;</samp>’, and ‘<samp>#&lt;font-entity&gt;</samp>’ respectively. See <a href="low_002dlevel-font">Low-Level Font</a>, for a description of these Lisp objects. </p><div class="_attribution">
