Working with font sets
Font sets let you control how different types of characters — such as
Alphabetic (Roman) and Han characters — display when they occur together in
text.
You can create a new font set in the Edit Font Set dialog box (Edit > Font Sets).
Each font set is composed of a set of font types, each of which has its own
settings.
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.
