The font selection is straightforward. Obtain the name of the font that you wish to use and type it in the entry box. The only requirement is that the font already be installed on your system. If the font is not found then a default font will be used. This is a silent operation and will not warn on a font not found. When the SVG graph is generated that font will be identified for use, however, if someone viewing the chart does not have the same font installed they will see their default font instead. (Embedding fonts in SVGs or making them a local access is possible but not available in this addon.) The default font is White Rabbit by Matthew Welch which is an extremely readable font. It can be obtained from https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/white-rabbit and the license found at http://www.squaregear.net/fonts/license.shtml .
The Spacing option controls the space between "generations" of nodes. It can be anywhere from 0.1 - 5.0 inches. Finally, you can use "Different node shape/edges for gender" to controls the box shapes and makes the Male and Female box shapes different, by default this selection is turned off.

Connector lines are just that, the connecting lines from node to node for a family connection or marriage. The Highlight connector line is used for a highlighted path as discussed in the Highlight Menu section. The Trim box edge is used on nodes in the graph that have been "trimmed" as discussed in the Trim Menu section. Finally, all node background colors can be set to none with the Remove Color Backgrounds option.
