Remarks

Use the CopyFrom method to duplicate the font properties of the specified FontInfo into the instance of the FontInfo class that this method is called from.

Caution

All properties in the current instance of the FontInfo class will be replaced by the associated property in the f parameter.

When a style is registered using RegisterStyle, and then copied using Style.CopyFrom(Style), only the CssClass property is copied to the destination, not all the individual properties. Therefore, if you are using FontInfo.CopyFrom(FontInfo) to copy font information from the Font property of a Style that is registered, you will not get the individual settings of the font from the style.
