ofstream doesn't write with a font. It will write text to a file. What text is displayed and what font the text is displayed in is determined by how whatever program is reading the file interprets that text. For example, a browser parses the text looking for tags/tokens like <body>, "style", "color" and "font" and displays certain text based on those. But ofstream neither knows about nor cares about any of that. It simply outputs text to a file.
