A generic font family name identifier.

## Declaration

```swift
let kCMTextMarkupAttribute_GenericFontFamilyName: CFString
```

## Discussion

Discussion This attribute’s value must be one of the constants listed below. You need to map generic fonts to the family name of an installed font before rendering and/or measuring text (see Media Accessibility). When the system specifies legible output, an attributed string has at most one of kCMTextMarkupAttribute_FontFamilyName or kCMTextMarkupAttribute_GenericFontFamilyName associated with each character.
