Font Panel
The new Font panel in Panther lets you access fonts from a number of Mac OS X
applications—including Mail, TextEdit, and Keynote. You can use the Font panel to
preview fonts, create font collections for specific clients or jobs, and add fonts to
a favorites menu. Any action you take in the Font panel is reflected in Font Book
to ensure consistency and save time. The Font panel also lets Mac OS X software
developers incorporate a standard font selection interface into their applications.
The Font panel provides a preview of a font at a particular size.
Installed fonts can be grouped in a collection for easier selection. Changes
made to collections in the Font panel are reflected in Font Book.
Fonts can be sized by entering a value, clicking a size in the list, or using the
adjustable slider.
The Action pop-up menu in the Font panel provides access to the Typography
panel, the Character Palette, and other features.
