If the string does not start with '\' it is assumed to be a font name (i.e. \F is implicitly prepended). The identifer string consists of a series of qualifiers/value pairs:
Qualifier Meaning
\F font identifier (name of font directory) space/control terminated
\f territory number, space, font name (in the current territory's language and alphabet) control terminated
\E encoding identifier control terminated
\e territory number, space, encoding name control terminated
\M transformation matrix, 6 1/1000th em values as decimal signed integers, all 6 followed by a space. The first 4 are actually interpreted as fixed point fractions of the form &XXXX·XXXX.
The font identifier is the name of the font directory as it appears in Font$Path. The font name (given by \f) is ignored by the font manager, but returned in the "Font 'n' not found" error message if the territory number matches the current territory.
