Monospaced Font Values

A font has three properties, the font name, the style and the point size. A monospaced font value is specified by a string with the following form:

font_name-style-point_size

Each of the three properties is seperated by a short dash (-). The font name specified is ignored, "Monospaced" or "Courier" is used, depending on the Java environment. The style can be either plain or bold. The point size can be any positive integer. The style and point size are optional. If the style is not specified or is blank or invalid, the default style, plain, is used. If the point size is not specified or is invalid, the default point size, 12, is used.

For example:

<PARAM NAME="screen_font" VALUE="Monospaced-bold-24">
<PARAM NAME="screen_font" VALUE="Courier--14">
<PARAM NAME="screen_font" VALUE="Monospaced-bold">
<PARAM NAME="screen_font" VALUE="Monospaced-plain-16">
