A reference to a System.Drawing.Font object representing the font to use. If a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), then the parent's font is used.
Remarks
Because the System.Drawing.Font object is immutable (meaning that you cannot adjust any of its properties), you can only assign the Font property a new Font object. However, you can base the new font on the existing font.
If the IsFontAmbient property returns true, then the value of the Font property is inherited from its parent.
To reset the value of the Font property to its default value, DefaultFont, the ResetFont method must be called or a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) assigned to the Font property.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to adjust the font of a grid element to make it bold:
gridElement.Font = new Font( gridElement.Font, gridElement.Font.Style | FontStyle.Bold );
