// Class: Font
//  Simple OO wrapper around a TrueType font that can be drawn to textures and
//  rendered via OpenGL.
// 
//  Since Font is a child of <ResourceManaged>, all memory management is 
//  taken care of.
// 
// Operators:
//  - Font = Font
//  - bool : True if font is loaded, false if not.
//  - ostream& << Font

    //  Default constructor, initalizes internal state of Font.

    // Function: Font
    //  Copy constructor, copies another Font.
    // 
    // Parameters:
    //  rhs - Font to construct copy of.

    // Function: Font
    // Initializing constructor, loads Font via call to <open>.

    // Parameters:
    //  name - Name of the Font <Resource> to open.
    // 
    // See Also: 
    //  <open>
