Type
Specify a typeface size
By default, typeface size is measured in points (a point equals 1/72 of an inch). You can specify any typeface size from
0.1 to 1296 points, in 0.001-point increments.
1 Select the characters or type objects you want to change. If you don’t select any text, the typeface size applies to new
text you create.
2 Do one of the following:
• In the Character panel or Control bar set the Font Size option.
• Choose a size from the Type > Size menu. Choosing Other lets you type a new size in the Character panel.
You can change the unit of measurement for type in the Preferences dialog box.
Find and replace fonts
1 Choose Type > Find Font.
Move the Find Font dialog box so that you can see all the text in your document.
2 Select the name of a font you want to find in the top section of the dialog box. The first occurrence of the font is
highlighted in the document window.
3 Select a replacement font in the bottom section of the dialog box. You can customize the list of replacement fonts
by doing the following:
• Choose an option from the Replace With Font From pop-up menu: Document to list only the fonts that are used
in the document or System to list all fonts on your computer.
• Select the kinds of fonts you want to include in the list; deselect the kinds of fonts you don’t want to include.
4 Do one of the following:
• Click Change to change just one occurrence of the selected font.
• Click Change All to change all occurrences of the selected font.
When there are no more occurrences of a font in your document, its name is removed from the Fonts in Document list.
5 Repeat steps 2 through 4 to find and replace a different font.
6 Click Done to close the dialog box.
Note: When you replace a font using the Find Font command, all other type attributes remain the same.
Work with missing fonts
If a document uses fonts not installed on your system, an alert message appears when you open it. Illustrator indicates
which fonts are missing and substitutes missing fonts with available matching fonts.
• To substitute missing fonts with a different font, select the text that uses the missing font and apply any other
available font.
• To make missing fonts available in Illustrator, either install the missing fonts on your system or activate the missing
fonts using a font management application.
• To highlight substituted fonts in pink, choose File > Document Setup, and select Highlight Substituted Fonts (and
Highlighted Substituted Glyphs, if desired), and then click OK.
