TextStyle
Last updated at 1:54 pm UTC on 16 January 2006
Contains an array (fontArray) with instances of StrikeFont.

From the class comment: A textStyle comprises the formatting information for composing and displaying a unit (usually a paragraph) of text. Typically one makes a copy of a master textStyle (such as TextStyle default), and then that copy may get altered in the process of editing. Bad things can happen if you do not copy first.

Each of my instances consists of...
fontArray
An array of StrikeFonts
fontFamilySize
unused
lineGrid
An integer; default line spacing for paragraphs
baseline
An integer; default baseline (dist from line top to bottom of an 'a')
alignment
An integer; text alignment, see TextStyle alignment:
firstIndent
An integer; indent of first line in pixels
restIndent
An integer; indent of remaining lines in pixels
rightIndent
An integer; indent of right margin rel to section
tabsArray
An array of integers giving tab offsets in pixels
marginTabsArray
An array of margin tabs
leading
An integer giving default vertical line separation

For a concrete example, look at
   TextStyle default copy inspect

Question February 20, 2004: I wanted to know something about a method you implemented in the past. I was implementing this method:
knownTextStylesWithoutDefault
	"Answer the names of the known text styles, sorted in 
     alphabetical order without default"
    	"TextStyle knownTextStylesWithoutDefault"
	| result |
	result := self knownTextStyles asOrderedCollection.
	result remove: #DefaultFixedTextStyle.
	result remove:  #DefaultTextStyle.
	^ result
so that I can query all the styles and after I saw that you defined
actualTextStyles
	| aDict |
	"TextStyle actualTextStyles"
    	"Answer dictionary whose keys are the names of styles in the
      system and whose values are the actual styles"    
	aDict _ TextConstants select: [:thang | thang isKindOf: self ].
	aDict removeKey: #DefaultTextStyle.
	aDict removeKey: #DefaultFixedTextStyle.
	^ aDict
And now I'm confused because the dictionary that you return only contains one font (for example Accuat12 but not the ones that are possible for example Accuat18). So can you let me know the differences?
Answer Ned Konz You're getting confused between TextStyle and Font: TextStyles have one or more fonts in them.
