Layout > Reset Position.

Change the letter’s attributes in the Attributes tab or the Style tab of the Inspector.

Click in the Canvas away from the track.

The bounding box around the character disappears, but the track is still selected.

Reposition the track in the Canvas and modify its attributes.

Note: These adjustments affect the entire track, including the letter you’ve just
modified.

Disabling Fonts in Mac OS X

In Mac OS X v10.3, you can use the Font Book application to disable fonts. However,
LiveType requires that certain fonts—Geneva and Helvetica—are always available, so
these two fonts should not be disabled. If you disable these fonts, you may experience
unpredictable behavior in LiveType.
