> It is important to know that in X Window System, each
	font has a number of attributes, such as family (Helvetica,
	Times, Courier&#8230;), size, weight, slant, etc., and two
	fonts are considered different even if they only differ in one
	of the properties, such as size or weight: <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B
>Helvetica
	10 point</B
></TT
>, <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B
>Helvetica 12 point</B
></TT
>,
	and <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B
>Helvetica 10 point bold</B
></TT
> are
	considered as  different fonts.  Each font has a unique name
	(officially known as <I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>X Logical Font
	Description</I
>, or XLFD), which includes the values of
	all font's attributes, and by necessity is very long. Detailed
	description of X Window System fonts, their attributes and names can
	be found in <A
HREF="xlfd.html"
>the section called <I
>Font attributes in X Window System and XLFD</I
></A
>.
