Interface: DefaultAppearance

A default appearance (/DA, §12.7.3.3): the style variable text is set in — a free text's, a redaction's overlay text. A /DA may hold only the operators a text object allows, and a TextRegularRun's styles model every one of them, so it is a run without its text and placement: its font a FontId, not a resource name.

What the /DA doesn't set holds the initial graphics state's value. A font_size of 0 asks the text to fit.
