The font that the cell uses to display text.

## Declaration

```swift
var font: NSFont? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The value of this property is nil if the cell is not a text-type cell. Assigning a new font object to this property converts the cell to a text-type cell if it is not already one.
