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 for each type of 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).
Working with grouped characters
Use the Group Characters dialog box (Style menu) to include a group of horizontal
characters, such as Roman characters, within a vertical line of text. Grouped characters
always display horizontally and do not break at the end of a line. To group selected
characters:
1
Choose Style > Group Characters.
2
Choose Vertical or Horizontal from the Scale drop-down menu and enter a percentage
in the field to the right of the Scale drop-down menu.
