Changing Fonts
There are two ways to use the Library to change the font of text in the Canvas. The first
method is to drag a font to the text object in the Canvas. The second method is to select
a text object in the Canvas, Layers tab, or Timeline, select a typeface in the Library, then
click the Apply button in the Preview area.
To change the font by dragging a new font to the Canvas
1 In the Library, click the Fonts category and then the font subcategory.
2 Drag a font from the stack onto the text in the Canvas.
As you drag the font over the text, a transparent thumbnail of the font appears and the
pointer becomes a green add pointer (+). When you release the mouse button, the text
is changed to the selected font.
To change the font using the Apply button
1 In the Canvas, Layers tab, or Timeline, select the text to which you want to apply a new
font.
2 In the Library, click the Fonts category and then the font subcategory.
3 In the stack, click a font.
