If a ''DefaultFontName'' was specified, the system font is changed to this font. If we're dealing with an older file, there will be no ''DefaultFontName'' specified, but there still might be font data in the file (as loose symbols), and if there is, then it should be used. Symbol data gets loaded as a font in the embedded library, so if there are any fonts in the embedded library, the first one is set to be the system font. (Is this behavior okay if there are embedded fonts but no default font?) |
