Allow Users to Set Font Names and Sizes

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Best Practice   (Designed for Microsoft® Windows® Logo)

Your application should allow the user to choose font names and font sizes to make the document or window content more legible. The application can use font information selected through Control Panel or the application can provide its own options to change the fonts it displays. Because documents are typically shared, a user must not be required to alter a document in order to adjust the fonts drawn on the screen. This may require the application to override formatting specified in the document.
