Specify text properties
When you select any object in a title, its properties are listed in the Title Properties panel. Adjusting values in the panel alters the selected object.
Text objects possess unique properties, such as leading and kerning.
Some text properties are not listed in the Title Properties panel. For example, you can set font, font style, and type alignment either in the
Titler panel or in the Title menu. The Title menu also includes options for orientation, word wrap, tabs, and inserting a logo into a text box.
1. Select the text object or range of text you want to modify.
2. In the Title Properties panel, click the arrow next to Properties, and set values. Some of the options include:
Specifies the font applied to the selected text object. To view a font in its typeface, use the Font Browser.
Specifies the font’s size, in scan lines.
Specifies the horizontal scale of the selected font. This value is some percentage of the font’s natural aspect ratio. Values less than
100% narrow the text. Values above 100% widen the text.
Specifies the amount of space between lines of type. For roman type, leading is measured from the baseline of one line of type to
the baseline of the next line. For vertical text, leading is measured from the center of one line of type to the center of the next line. In the
Titler, the baseline is the line underneath the text. You can apply more than one leading amount within the same paragraph. However, the
largest leading value in a line of type determines the leading value for that line.
To turn the text baselines on or off, choose Title> View> Text Baselines. Text baselines appear only when you select the text object.
Specifies the amount of space you add or subtract between specific character pairs. The value indicates the percentage of
character width between the character pairs. Place the cursor at the point where you want to adjust kerning.
Specifies the amount of space between a range of letters. The value indicates the percentage of character width between the
specified range of characters. The direction of the text tracking is based on the justification of the text. For example, center-justified text
tracks from the center. Adjusting the tracking is useful when your contiguous text has thick strokes that cause the characters to blend into
each other, making them hard to read. Adjust the tracking for all the text in a text box by selecting the text box and changing the Tracking
value. You can also adjust the tracking between specific contiguous characters by selecting only those characters and changing the Tracking
value.
Specifies the distance of the characters from the baseline. Raise or lower the selected type to create superscripts or
subscripts. Changing the Baseline Shift value affects all characters. Adjust the baseline shift for all the text in a text box by selecting the text
box and changing the value. Adjust the baseline shift between specific contiguous characters by selecting only those characters and
changing the value.
Specifies the slant of an object, in degrees.
When selected, specifies that all selected objects appear in uppercase.
Specifies the size of the small caps as some percentage of regular height. Adjusting this value changes the size of all
characters in the text object except for the leading character. A Small Caps value of 100% sets the text to all capitals.
When selected, specifies that the selected text is underlined. This option is not available for text on a path.
