17.8.3.9 family (Font Family)

This element specifies the font family of the current font. This information can be used as defined in font substitution logic to locate an appropriate substitute font when this font is not available. This information is determined by querying the font when present and shall not be modified when the font is not available.

If this element is omitted, then its value shall be assumed to be auto.

[Example: Consider the following information stored for a single font:

<w:font w:name="Calibri">
<w:family w:val="swiss" />
…
</w:font>

The family element specifies via its val attribute value of swiss that this font is part of the Swiss family. end example]
