+A string specifying a font name and characteristics, for example,
+@samp{Courier New 16 bold}.
+Allowed characteristics are @var{integer}, specifiying the font size,
+and the following style modifiers: @samp{bold}, @samp{italic},
+@samp{regular}, @samp{underline} and @samp{strikeout}.
+Note that the size is the total height in pixels, and @strong{not} the
+point size.
+Thus the fonts tend to be 20-50% smaller than you might expect.
+You should specifiy only fixed-width fonts as variable width fonts are
+not drawn correctly.

+Once in Edwin, the font can be changed with the @samp{set-font} and
+@samp{set-default-font} commands.
