Unit

F

If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant. For example, <element>5</element>.

Remarks

Font ID numbers vary according to the fonts installed on your system.

Asian fonts are listed on the Font tab in the Text dialog box (Format menu). This list appears only if Microsoft Office Visio is set to show Asian text on the Regional tab in the Options dialog box (Tools menu).

The number 0 means no font is specified. The Latin font or default fonts are used if they contain the necessary characters.

The AsianFont element is relevant only when contained in a Shape or StyleSheet element. It is ignored when contained in a DocumentSheet or PageSheet element.
