Text
You can edit the text by selecting the Text Tool
and clicking on the text.
You have all the usual word processing facilities, and can paste text from the system clipboard. Double
click will select a word, triple click will select a whole line - which can be useful for selecting all the text in
a button. As usual the InfoBar provides a wide range of controls for this tool. Alternatively you can right
click within text and choose Advanced Text Properties
.
The font menu displays a list of fonts and is split into three sections. The top section shows fonts already
used in the document, the next section shows web safe fonts, and finally the lower section shows all fonts
installed on your computer.
The three sections of the font menu. In this example Courier New is selected showing the available bold
and italic variants. Not all fonts have such variants.
The font menu offers live font selection. As you traverse the menu, the selected text changes font allowing
you to immediately preview what the font will look like in the document.
Font Size
The font size field shows the font size in pixels, as this is the most reliable method of setting the text size
for use in a web browser. But you can enter any size in points (or any other unit for that matter), by
entering a value with pt after it (for point) e.g. 72pt or 1in and this will get converted to the correct pixel
size.
Web Safe Fonts
These fonts are safe to use in websites because the vast majority of computers and other devices will
have these fonts. You can use other fonts if you embed them in your website and if the font license
permits it ? see the Text Handling chapter for details.
