charset (Character Set Supported By Font)

This element specifies the character set which is supported by the parent font. This information can be used as defined in font substitution logic to locate an appropriate substitute font when this font is not available. This information is determined by querying the font when present and shall not be modified when the font is not available.

If this element is not present, then the character set for this font shall be assumed to be the /IEC 8859-1 character set.

[Example: Consider the following information stored for a single font:

<w:font w:name="SimSun">
  <w:charset w:characterSet="GBK" />
  …</w:font>

The charset element specifies via its characterSet attribute value of GBK that this font uses the GB-2312 character set. end example]
