Formatting text
There are a number of font appearance attributes which can be managed in Content Studio. These
characteristics may be used to directly customize the appearance of text characters so that your message
appears exactly how you want it.
1. Select the text you wish to modify.
Note: Selecting an entire text box will modify all text within the box.
2. Go to the Home tab, in the Fonts group, to change the following attributes:
 Font Face: Click to open the Font Face drop-down menu. Select a listed font face to change the
selected text’s font face.
Notes:
 If creating dynamic content in which it is important for the positioning and
spacing of characters to be static as it changes (such as game clock feeds),
using fixed-width fonts will ensure that the text does not “jump around”.
For example, compare the following fonts. In the first font, notice how every
character is the same width – even 1’s and 0’s. This is not the case in the 2
nd
font.
Courier New (Fixed width) 09:11
Courier New (Fixed width) 10:00
1111
2222
Berlin Sans FB (Variable width) 09:11
Berlin Sans FB (Variable width) 10:00
1111
