- IfcTextStyleWithBoxCharacteristics for definitions from ISO/IS 10303-46:1994 for (old) vector based and monospace text.
- IfcTextStyleTextModel for definitions from Cascading Style Sheets, level 1, W3C Recommendation 17 Dec 1996, revised 11 Jan 1999, CSS1, for all true type text. The use of the CSS1 definitions is the preferred way to represent text styles.
