Documentation Talk:Reference Section 8.1

Greetings,

should #5719 reach production (not in 3.7RC6, but later, possibly before or in definitive 3.7), the allowed syntax for text could be either

 text { ttf FILE_NAME          STRING F_THICKNESS, V_OFFSET [OBJECT_MODIFIERS] } 
 text { internal FONT_NUMBER   STRING F_THICKNESS, V_OFFSET [OBJECT_MODIFIERS] } 

(I do not know how to express a mandatory alternative between "ttf ..." and "internal ...", maybe something like:

   text { \(ttf FILE_NAME | internal FONT_NUMBER \) STRING F_THICKNESS, V_OFFSET [OBJECT_MODIFIERS] } 

Font number defined within #5719:

• 0 : povlogo.ttf
• 1 : timrom.ttf
• 2 : cyrvetic.ttf
• 3 : crystal.ttf

Out of defined range default to 0.
