Modify the appearance of text in books
You can assign text styles to text and metadata boxes to change the look of text in your book.
Aperture master pages come with preset text styles that include designs for important text
elements such as cover text, subtitles, headings, and paragraph text. You can easily apply these
styles to text and metadata boxes as you work.
Aperture also provides a Fonts window that you can use to change fonts in your books. You
select text in a text box on a page to change the font, font size, font color, and more.
Important: Aperture follows the text-smoothing preferences set in the Appearance pane of
System Preferences. The OS X default setting doesn’t smooth fonts that are 8 points in size or
smaller. This setting only affects the appearance of fonts onscreen; the fonts appear smoothed
when printed.
