#   Example:
#     Font=";14;normal;0"
#
#  -Colors: to specify a color use R;G;B;A notation.
#   Example:
#     Color="255;255;255;255"
#
#  -Position: you can set different position for portrait and landscape.
#   PosL is the position in landscape
#   PosP is the position in portrait
#   For position you can use the special value: left, center, right, top, bottom
#
#  -Size: : you can set different size for portrait and landscape.
