A variable that is tomTrue if the font can be changed or tomFalse if it cannot be changed.
If the font can change, the method returns S_OK. If the method fails, it returns S_FALSE.
This method returns tomTrue only if the font can be changed. That is, no part of an associated range is protected and an associated document is not read-only. If this ITextFont object is a duplicate, no protection rules apply.

|---|---|
| pFont | The text font object to compare against. |
It returnss tomTrue if the font objects have the same properties or tomFalse if they do not.
The text font objects are equal only if pFont belongs to the same Text Object Model (TOM) object as the current font object. The IsEqual method ignores entries for which either font object has an tomUndefined.
Resets the character formatting to the specified values.

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Value | The kind of reset. This parameter can be a combination of the following values. |

| S_FALSE | Protected from change. |
| E_INVALIDARG | Invalid argument. |
| CO_E_RELEASED | The font object is attached to a range that has been deleted. |
Calling Reset with tomUndefined sets all properties to undefined values. Thus, applying the font object to a range changes nothing. This applies to a font object that is obtained by the GetDuplicate method.

In general, Text Object Model (TOM) methods that attempt to change the formatting or content of a range fail with E_ACCESSDENIED if any part of that range is protected, or if the document is read only. To make a change in protected text, the TOM client should attempt to turn off the protection of the text to be modified. The owner of the document may permit this to happen. For example in rich edit controls, attempts to change protected text result in an EN_PROTECTED notification code to the creator of the document, who then can refuse or grant permission for the change. The creator is the client that created a windowed rich edit control through the CreateWindowEx function or the ITextHost object that called the CreateTextServices function to create a windowless rich edit control.
