When you add text to a drawing, the current text style will be used. The text style determines the font, size, angle, orientation and other text characteristics.
Every drawing has a default text style, which is named Standard. The Standard style can not be deletd, but it can be renamed or modified. If you change the font or the orientation of an existing style, all existing text that was created using that style, will be automatically updated to reflect the new font or orientation. You can also create other text styles and make one of them as current text style.
The text style determines the characteristics shown in the following table.

| Font file | txt.shx | The font file on which the style is based. |
