The first group listed after the opening statements is the font table group. All of the fonts that the RTF writer will use must be declared in the font table, which begins with the \fonttbl statement. Each font in the table begins with a font number (used to reference the font within the file) and then lists the family name and the font name. Each font entry ends with a semicolon. For example, the following group defines nine fonts:
{\fonttbl
{\f0\froman Times New Roman;}
{\f1\froman Symbol;}
{\f2\fswiss Arial;}
{\f3\froman MS Serif;}
{\f4\fswiss MS Sans Serif;}
{\f5\fmodern Courier;}
{\f6\fdecor ZapfDingbats;}
{\f7\fswiss HelveticaCondensed;}
{\f8\fswiss Helvetica;}
}
