Type	Description
Font	A Font object specifying the font used to display the contents of elements.

Remarks

If the appearance object’s AppearanceOptions.UseFont property is set to false and it has a parent, this method returns the parent’s font settings. Otherwise, the current appearance object’s AppearanceObject.Font property value is returned.
