"""Represents a named font.

Constructor options are:

font -- font specifier (name, system font, or (family, size, style)-tuple)
    name -- name to use for this font configuration (defaults to a unique name)
    exists -- does a named font by this name already exist?
       Creates a new named font if False, points to the existing font if True.
       Raises _Tkinter.TclError if the assertion is false.

the following are ignored if font is specified:

family -- font 'family', e.g. Courier, Times, Helvetica
    size -- font size in points
    weight -- font thickness: NORMAL, BOLD
    slant -- font slant: ROMAN, ITALIC
    underline -- font underlining: false (0), true (1)
    overstrike -- font strikeout: false (0), true (1)
