public font : String

A string that specifies the name of the font for text. The default value is null, which indicates that the property is undefined.

Note: For Flash Lite, this property works for embedded fonts only. This property is not supported for Arabic, Hebrew, and Thai.

Example

The following example creates a text field and sets the font to Courier.

this.createTextField("mytext",1,100,100,100,100);
mytext.multiline = true;
mytext.wordWrap = true;
mytext.border = true;

var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myformat.font = "Courier";

mytext.text = "this is my first text field object text";
mytext.setTextFormat(myformat);
