Instances of this class manage operating system resources that define how text looks when it is displayed. Fonts may be constructed by providing a device and either name, size and style information or a <code>FontData</code> object which encapsulates this data. <p> Application code must explicitly invoke the <code>Font.dispose()</code> method to release the operating system resources managed by each instance when those instances are no longer required. </p>
