FONT Function
Returns the integer value of the unique identifier for a font, specified by name.
Note
In most cases, the font identifier is system-specific. Although the font remains established once used in a file, the FONT function provides consistent access to a particular font across systems and versions of Visio. It is recommended that you use the FONT function to assign fonts instead of referring to font identifiers directly.
