/**
 * <p>Assignment Action that assigns font values to VisualItems.
 * By default, a FontAction simply sets each VisualItem to use a default 
 * 10 point sans-serif font (10 point sans-serif). Clients can change this
 * default value to achieve uniform font assignment, or can add any number
 * of additional rules for font assignment.
 * Rules are specified by a Predicate instance which, if returning true, will
 * trigger that rule, causing either the provided font value or the result of
 * a delegate FontAction to be applied. Rules are evaluated in the order in
 * which they are added to the FontAction, so earlier rules will have
 * precedence over rules added later.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>In addition, subclasses can simply override {@link #getFont(VisualItem)}
 * to achieve custom font assignment. In some cases, this may be the simplest
 * or most flexible approach.</p>
