                     11: The Font menu has commands that alter the font and other character attributes.  It's called �Font� rather than something like �character� or �style� because it's more evocative of what's in the menu, especially for users without a technical background.  
                     12: \pard\tx140\tx1920\tx2880\tx3840\tx4800\tx5760\tx6720\tx7680\tx8640\tx9600 Applications that support text entry and editing should provide a Font menu and Font panel.  The panel is defined in the Application Kit; it contains controls that set and preview fonts.  The menu has a command to bring up the panel, and commands to make common adjustments to a font.\

                     15: The only required commands in this menu are Font Panel, Copy Font, and Paste Font, although frequently used commands like Bold and Italic should almost always be present.  Applications that are not text intensive may decide to omit some of the less frequently used commands, such as Heavier and Lighter.\
