H Justify
The horizontal justify slider allows you to customize the justification of the text from the H
Anchor setting to full justification so it is aligned evenly along the left and right edges. This
control is most often used when the Layout type is set to Frame in the Layout tab.
Direction
This menu provides options for determining the Direction in which the text is to be written.
Line Direction
These menu options are used to determine the text flow from top to bottom, bottom to top, left
to right, or right to left.
Underline and Strikeout
These buttons apply the addition of emphasis styles to the text.
Write On
This range control is used to quickly apply simple Write On and Write Off effects to the text. To
create a Write On effect, animate the End portion of the control from 1 to 0 over the length of
time required. To create a Write Off effect, animate the Start portion of the range control
from 0 to 1.
Advanced font controls
Force Monospaced
This slider control can be used to override the kerning (spacing between characters) defined in
the font. Setting this slider to zero (the default value) will cause Fusion to rely entirely on the
kerning defined with each character. A value of one will cause the spacing between characters
to be completely even, or monospaced.
Use Font Defined Kerning
This enables kerning as specified in the TrueType font and is on by default.
Manual Font Kerning/Placement
Right-clicking on this label will display a contextual menu that can be used to animate the
kerning of the text. See the “Toolbar” section of this node later in this chapter for details on
manual kerning.
