Contains the logical attributes for a font.

lfHeight

Height of the font, in device units. If this member is greater than zero, the driver should choose a font with a cell height that matches the given height. If this member is zero, the driver should choose a font having a reasonable default size. If this member is less than zero, the driver should choose a font whose character height (that is, cell height less internal leading) matches the absolute value of this member. In all cases, the driver should choose the largest font that does not exceed the requested height and, if there is no such font, choose the next smallest font available.

lfWidth

Average width of characters in the font, in device units. If this member is zero, the driver should choose an available font with a digitization aspect ratio (the dfVertRes member of the FONTINFO structure) that most closely matches the aspect ratio of the device (the dpAspectY member in the GDIINFO structure). When comparing fonts, the driver should compare the absolute values of the differences between the digitization aspect ratio and the device aspect ratio.

lfEscapement

Angle, in tenths of a degree, counterclockwise from the x-axis of the vector passing through the origin of all the characters in the string.

lfOrientation

Angle, in tenths of a degree, counterclockwise from the x-axis of the baseline of the character.

lfWeight

Weight of the font ranging from 1 to 1000, with 400 being the value for the standard font. If this member is zero, the driver should choose a reasonable weight. The following values are defined:

FW_DONTCARE (0)

FW_THIN (100)

FW_EXTRALIGHT (200)

FW_LIGHT (300)

FW_NORMAL (400)

FW_MEDIUM (500)

FW_SEMIBOLD (600)

FW_BOLD (700)

FW_EXTRABOLD (800)

FW_HEAVY (900)

lfItalic

Italic flag. If TRUE, the font is to be italic; otherwise, it is not.

lfUnderline

Underline flag. If the low bit is set, the font is to be underlined. All other bits must be zero.

lfStrikeOut

Strikeout flag. If the low bit is set, the font is to be struck out. All other bits must be zero.

lfCharSet

Character-set to be used. Can be one of these values:

Character set values that support international versions of the operating system are also permitted. The following are defined:

MAC_CHARSET (77)

SHIFTJIS_CHARSET (128)

HANGEUL_CHARSET (129)

CHINESEBIG5_CHARSET (136)

lfOutPrecision

Required output precision for text. Can be one of these values:

lfClipPrecision

Required clipping precision for text. Can be one of these values:

lfQuality

Required quality for text. Can be one of these values:

lfPitchAndFamily

Font pitch and font family. This member is a combination of one pitch and one family value. The pitch value can be one of these values:

Font family, which describes in a general way the look of a font. Can be one of these values:

lfFaceName

Null-terminated string that specifies the name of the font. The driver should choose a font having the given name. If the string is empty (the first byte is zero), the driver should choose a reasonable font. The string, including the null terminating character, does not exceed 32 bytes (LF_FACESIZE).
