NAME
    OpenFont -- Get a pointer to a system font.

SYNOPSIS
    font = OpenFont(textAttr)
    D0              A0

    struct TextFont *OpenFont(struct TextAttr *);

FUNCTION
    This function searches the system font space for the graphics
    text font that best matches the attributes specified.  The
    pointer to the font returned can be used in subsequent
    SetFont and CloseFont calls.  It is important to match this
    call with a corresponding CloseFont call for effective
    management of ram fonts.

INPUTS
    textAttr - a TextAttr or TTextAttr structure that describes the
               text font attributes desired.

RESULT
    font is zero if the desired font cannot be found.  If the named
    font is found, but the size and style specified are not
    available, a font with the nearest attributes is returned.
