TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
Use the Edit Font Set dialog box to configure a font set.
For each type in a font set, you can control the following:
Font: Specify a font family for each type of the character group.
Style: Specify a font style for selected font family for each type of the character
group
Relative Size: Specify the relative size of each font based on the font size used in
the layout. For example, if the font size in your layout is 12 points, and you
specify a relative setting of 200%, the font displays at 24 points.
Baseline Shift: Specify a value to raise or lower the font from its baseline.
Scale Direction: Specify whether the font is scaled horizontally or vertically.
Scale Amount: Specify the amount of horizontal or vertical scaling.
The Sample Text area of the dialog box displays sample text that uses each of the
fonts in the font set.
You can apply a font set to text in the same way that you apply a font to text.
Simply select the text and choose a font set from the font drop-down menu in the
Measurements palette. Font sets display at the top of the list.
To append a font set to a project, use the Append button in the Font Sets dialog
box (Edit > Font Sets).
Applying multiple character attributes
You can view and edit all character attributes at one time using the Character tab of
the Measurements palette.
Blank fields and gray check boxes indicate that multiple styles are applied to
selected text. For example, if the Font field is blank, then more than one font is
applied to the selected text.
If you enter a value in a blank field, that value will be applied to all the selected
text. If you check or uncheck a gray check box, that style setting will be applied to
or removed from all selected text.
Use the Character tab of the Measurements palette to format text.
Applying paragraph attributes
Paragraph attributes are formatting options that apply to a paragraph as a whole.
They include alignment, indents, leading, and tab settings. To apply attributes to
selected paragraphs, use the Paragraph tab of the Measurements palette.
