Using separate font files for font effects
Fonts normally come with separate files for the bold, italic and any other versions of the font.
When you style text, Connect will use the appropriate font file to display the text, if that font file
is linked to the respective font effect.
Here's how to combine a font file with a font effect.
1. Import the files for the bold, italic and any other versions of the font into the Fonts folder.
Initially, imported fonts appear as separate entries in the Fonts drop-down on the toolbar.
They are not used automatically when you style text, for example using the Bold and/or
Italic toolbar button. For that, they have to be linked to a font effect.
2.
Open the Font Manager: from the menu, select Edit > Fonts.
3. Combine each of the styled fonts with a font effect:
a.
Select the font and click the Edit button.
b. Select the appropriate font effect (e.g. Font Weight: Bold, or Font Style: Italic).
c.
Change the name of the styled font. It should have the same name as the regular
font.
4. Close the Font Manager.
Style simulation
When it can't use a separate font file for a particular font effect, Connect will mimic the bold and
italic versions of that font. This is called style simulation.
There are some major drawbacks to style simulation. Firstly, it is not reliable: it does not work
for all fonts. Secondly, style simulation is costly in terms of performance (output is created
