Applying character attributes

QuarkXPress lets you maintain precise, character-by-character control over text formatting.

Applying a font

To apply a font to selected text, do one of the following things:

• Choose Style > Font and choose a font from the submenu.

• Display the Character Attributes dialog box (Style > Character) and choose a font from

the Font menu.

• Choose a font from the Font drop-down menu in the Classic or Character Attributes tab

of the Measurements palette.

• Press Command+Option+Shift+M/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M to jump directly to the font field in

the Measurements palette, enter the first few characters of the font name until it is

recognized, then press Return/Enter.

Your most recently used fonts display at the top of the font list.

To display font previews in font menus, check the Show in Font Menu box in the Fonts

pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu). Press Shift to temporarily

override this preference.

Choosing a font size

You can apply font sizes from 2 to 3456 points. To apply a size to selected text, do one of

the following things:

• Choose Style > Size and choose a point size from the submenu.

• Click the arrow next to the current font size to display a list of point sizes, then either

choose a size from the list or enter a new point size.

• Use one of the keyboard commands below.

Mac OS

• Increase 1 pt: Command+Option+Shift+>

• Decrease 1 pt: Command+Option+Shift+<

• Increase in preset range: Command+Shift+>

• Decrease in preset range: Command+Shift+<

Windows
