The fonts in the list are tagged with capabilities, which appear in the information pane to the right. The capabilities are there to give both you (the user) and the computer information about which characters the different fonts support.

TextWriter allows you to put certain special characters in your input text by using the following escape sequences:

\' places an acute accent (fada) over the next letter if it is a vowel. For example, giving as input the text this is \'a t\'est produces a rendition of the string this is á tést. This only works for fonts with the "Unicode" capability.
\. places a dot over the next letter if it is a consonant which accepts a dot: b, c, d, f, g, m, p, s, or t (or their capitalized equivalents). This only works for fonts with the "Unicode" capability.
\r substitutes a normal seanchló lowercase r in place of the normal miniature capital R. This only works for fonts with both the "seanchlo" and "Unicode" capabilities.
\s substitutes a normal seanchló lowercase s in place of the normal miniature capital S. This only works for fonts with both the "seanchlo" and "Unicode" capabilities.
\& substitutes a standard ampersand in your text in place of the Tyronian sign usually used in seanchló. This only works for fonts with both the "seanchlo" and "Unicode" capabilities.

Colors may be input using any form specified on the ImageMagick color page (but do not use any quotes). All the color notations accepted by previous versions of TextWriter are also accepted by ImageMagick.
