NOTE If you change the orientation or font file of an existing text style, all text
objects with that style use the new values when the drawing is regenerated.
Font Name
Lists the font family name for all registered TrueType fonts and all compiled
shape (SHX) fonts in the Fonts folder. When you select a name from the list,
the program reads the file for the specified font. The file's character definitions
are loaded automatically unless the file is already in use by another text style.
You can define several styles that use the same font. For more information,
see “Assign Text Fonts”.
Font Style
Specifies font character formatting, such as italic, bold, or regular. When Use
Big Font is selected, this option changes to Big Font Name and is used to select
a Big Font file name.
Use Big Font
Specifies an Asian-language Big Font file. Only SHX files are valid file types
for creating Big Fonts.
For more information, see “Use Text Fonts for International Work”.
Size
Changes the size of the text.
Annotative
Specifies that the text is . Click the information icon to learn more about the
annotative objects.
Match Text Orientation to Layout
Specifies that the orientation of the text in paper space viewports matches the
orientation of the layout. This option is unavailable if the option is cleared.
Height or Paper Text Height
Sets the text height based on the value you enter. Entering a height greater
than 0.0 sets the text height for this style automatically. If you enter 0.0, the
text height defaults to the last text height used, or the value stored in the
drawing template file.
TrueType fonts might be displayed at a smaller height than SHX fonts with
the same height setting.
If the annotative option is selected, the value entered sets the text height in
paper space.
