#### 2.4.12 Font Type

A font specifies how to display text on a graphical terminal. There are actually three separate font types—font objects, font specs, and font entities—each of which has slightly different properties. None of them have a read syntax; their print syntax looks like ‘`#<font-object>`’, ‘`#<font-spec>`’, and ‘`#<font-entity>`’ respectively. See Low-Level Font, for a description of these Lisp objects.
