Version Information
 Version Added:  Visio 4.0

Syntax

expression.ID

expression   A variable that represents a Font object.

Remarks

For Font objects, the ID property corresponds to the number stored in the Font cell of the row in a shape's Character Properties section. For example, to apply the font named "Arial" to a shape's text, create a Font object that represents "Arial," get the ID of that font, and then set the CharProps property of the Shape object to that ID.

The ID associated with a particular font varies from system to system or as fonts are installed and removed on a given system.
