Using Text

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
text, select a typeface in the Library, then click the Apply button in the Preview area.

To change the font by dragging:

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 with the Apply button:

1

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.
