create 
	default_create
			-- Process instances of classes with no creation clause.
			-- (Default: do nothing.)
			-- (from ANY)

feature -- Access

	antialiased_quality: INTEGER_32 is 4
			-- Windows NT 4.0 and later: Font is always antialiased if the font supports it and
			-- the size of the font is not too small or too large. 
			-- Windows 95 Plus!, Windows 98/Me: The display must greater than 8-bit color,
			-- it must be a single plane device, it cannot be a palette display, and it cannot be
			-- in a multiple display monitor setup. In addition, you must select a TrueType font
			-- into a screen DC prior to using it in a DIBSection, otherwise antialiasing does not occur.

	cleartype_quality: INTEGER_32 is 5
			-- Windows XP: If set, text is rendered (when possible) using ClearType antialiasing method.

	default_quality: INTEGER_32 is 0
			-- Appearance of the font does not matter.

	draft_quality: INTEGER_32 is 1
			-- Appearance of the font is less important than when
			-- the Proof_quality value is used. For GDI raster
			-- fonts, scaling is enabled. Bold, italic, underline,
			-- and strikeout fonts are synthesized if necessary.

	generating_type: STRING_8
			-- Name of current object's generating type
			-- (type of which it is a direct instance)
			-- (from ANY)

	generator: STRING_8
			-- Name of current object's generating class
			-- (base class of the type of which it is a direct instance)
			-- (from ANY)

	non_antialiased_quality: INTEGER_32 is 3
			-- Font is never antialiased.

	proof_quality: INTEGER_32 is 2
			-- Character quality of the font is more important
			-- than exact matching of the logical-font attributes.
			-- For GDI raster fonts, scaling is disabled and the
			-- font closest in size is chosen. Bold, italic,
			-- underline, and strikeout fonts are synthesized
			-- if necessary.
	
feature -- Comparison

	frozen deep_equal (some: ANY; other: like arg #1): BOOLEAN
			-- Are `some' and `other' either both void
			-- or attached to isomorphic object structures?

			symmetric: Result implies deep_equal (other, some)

			-- Is `other' attached to an object considered
			-- equal to current object?
			-- (from ANY)

	frozen standard_equal (some: ANY; other: like arg #1): BOOLEAN
			-- Are `some' and `other' either both void or attached to
			-- field-by-field identical objects of the same type?
			-- Always uses default object comparison criterion.

			definition: Result = (some = Void and other = Void) or else ((some /= Void and other /= Void) and then some.standard_is_equal (other))

feature -- Status report

	conforms_to (other: ANY): BOOLEAN

			-- of `other' (as per Eiffel: The Language, chapter 13)?

			-- (from ANY)
		ensure -- from ANY
			standard_twin_not_void: Result /= Void
			equal: standard_equal (Result, Current)

	frozen twin: like Current
			-- New object equal to `Current'
			-- twin calls copy; to change copying/twining semantics, redefine copy.
			-- (from ANY)
		ensure -- from ANY
			twin_not_void: Result /= Void
			is_equal: Result.is_equal (Current)
	
feature -- Basic operations

	frozen default: like Current
			-- Default value of object's type
			-- (from ANY)

			-- Default value of type `POINTER'
			-- (Avoid the need to write `p'.default for
			-- some `p' of type `POINTER'.)
