  Description
 
    The following diagram illustrates the meaning of some of the
    fields:
 
                   ____________________
                 ┌     ████             ┐
                 │    █    █            │
                 │    █    █            │
       Ascent ───┤    █    █   ███      │
                 │    █  █ █   █  █     ├── PixHeight
                 │    █   █    █  █     │
        baseline └ ____███_█___███_____ │
                            █  █        │
                     __________█_______ ┘
 
                     └───┬───┘
                         │
 
                     PixWidth (0 = proportional)
 
 
    When bit 0 in the FontType field is set, the font is a vector
    (stroke) font. When bit 0 is clear, the font is a bit map font.
    Test the bit by comparing the FontType field with a bit mask,
    using the AND operator:
 
       IF (FontInfo_variable.FontType AND $01 = 0 ) THEN . . .
