Indicator
FATTR_SEL_ITALIC
A font with an italic appearance. This is intended
for use with an image font and results in a simulation of an italic font.
FATTR_SEL_BOLD
A boldface
version of the font. This is intended for use with an image font and results
in a simulation of a boldface font.
FATTR_SEL_OUTLINE
Hollow characters when using an outline font. This
only can be used with outline fonts.
This indicator is less important than the others because improved performance
is now available (from Adobe Type Manager) on filled outline fonts than
was originally available when this option (FATTR_SEL_OUTLINE) was introduced.
FATTR_SEL_STRIKEOUT
A font
in which the characters are struck through. This option also might be selected
on the character string primitive.
FATTR_SEL_UNDERSCORE
A font in which the characters are underscored.
This option also might be selected on the character string primitive.
Any combination of these indicators can be set. When set, they cause a simulation
of the selected feature. For example, if you require a bold, italicized
version of a PM image font, PM simulates that feature because bold, italic
image fonts are not supplied.
