Notes
=====

This exposes to the user the ability to&nbsp;define their own *stroked* fonts to be used when drawing text strings. The format allows data for an individual character glyph to be found directly by index, or (particularly for extensive font definitions) using a ``lookup`` function. ``lookup`` defines a function which will be used to draw the text string.

For further details on this specification refer to the ``Define_Font`` section of the HOOPS reference manual.
