ICE31 validates any predefined font styles used in controls that display text. It also validates that the DefaultUIFont property refers to a valid font style.

Controls can have a predefined font style as described in Adding Controls and Text. To set the font and font style of a text string, prefix the string of displayed characters with {\style} or {&style}. Where style is an identifier listed in the TextStyle column of the TextStyle table. If neither of these are present, but the DefaultUIFont property is defined as a valid text style, that font will be used.

ICE31 checks the Text column for each control in the Control Table to verifies that a valid entry exist in the TextStyle table.

ICE31 ignores the ScrollableText Control.

Results

ICE31 posts an error message for undefined styles, style names that are too long, a missing TextStyle table, and style tags with no closing brace.

ICE31 posts a warning if the style tag is not at the beginning of the line, or if a control has multiple style tags.
