DESCRIPTION

       This node defines the current font family and style for all subsequent text shapes in  the
       scene graph.

FIELDS

     SoSFEnum            family
          Defines the family of font to use.

     SoSFBitMask         style
          Defines style modifications to the chosen font, either bold or italic or no change.

METHODS

                         SoFontStyle()
          Creates a font style node with default settings.

     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.

     SbString            getFontName()
          Returns the font name used by this node based on the settings of family and style.

ACTION BEHAVIOR

       SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction, SoGetBoundingBoxAction, SoRayPickAction
          Sets the font family and style in the current traversal state.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
