In the font parameter, pass a font shorthand string to specify the different properties of a font (e.g., "12 pt Arial"). You can learn more about font shorthand strings in this page for example.
The returned object contains defined font attributes as properties. For more information about the available properties, see the VP Object to font command.

}
