The font family list appears.
3
Drag the pointer in the font list up or down to preview fonts.
As you drag through the font family list, the text changes in the Canvas to the currently
selected font.
4
Once you have chosen a font, release the mouse button.
Note: You can also use the scroll bar to move up and down the font list, or the wheel of
a three-button mouse.
Typeface: Sets the type style, such as Bold, Condensed, and so on. The available
typefaces are specific to the selected font family.
Size: Determines the size of the text. You can enter a value in the value field or use the
slider. To change the font size, drag the Size slider left or right. The value of the Size in
the HUD and the Inspector is limited to 288 points. To create larger text, type a value in
the Size value field.
Note: You can also scale the text in the Canvas using the onscreen controls, but this
scales the text as a layer and is independent of setting type point size in the Format
controls.
