<th scope="row">Description</th>
<td><p>Use a font that's installed on the computer, or from a .ttf or .otf file inside current folder.</p>
<p>Use the <b>PFont.list()</b> method to first determine the names for the fonts recognized by the computer and are compatible with this function.
Not all fonts can be used and some might work with one operating system and not others. When sharing a sketch with other people or
posting it on the web, you may need to include a .ttf or .otf version of your font in the sketch directory because other people might not have the font
installed on their computer. Only fonts that can legally be distributed should be included with a sketch. </p>
<p>If you have a @font-face rule in your CSS, you can use it by passing the @font-face name into the name parameter</p>
<p>The <b>size</b> parameter states the font size you want to generate. The <b>smooth</b> parameter specifies if the font should be antialiased or not,
and the <b>charset</b> parameter is an array of chars that specifies the characters to generate. The <b>smooth</b> and <b>charset</b> parameters are ignored in Processing.js.</p></td>
