equinux Mail Designer 1.3.4 - Manual (Page 20)

Paste text and keep style
Any text you paste into Mail Designer will automatically receive the style of
the text area you’re pasting in to.
If you would like to preserve your text style, you can use the “Paste with
Style” command instead.
To paste and preserve the original style of your text
‣ Copy text that has formatting you want to preserve
‣ Choose “Edit > Paste With Style” from the menu bar
A note about font options
If you're in a text area, the font options in the popover only include
so-called "web-safe fonts". These are fonts that can be viewed on
most computers. If you're adding text to an image area, you can
choose from a wider selection of fonts, as these will be displayed as
part of an image, ensuring their compatibility with most email pro-
grams.
Editing text in an image area
In an image area, Mail Designer offers more flexibility and you can get really
creative with your text. Let's try out some creative ideas!
Open the Contents panel and choose "Text objects".
First, we have the plain-jane "Sans"
and "Serif" text elements that you can
drag in to an image area to enter basic
text. Click and drag the text box
around to position it the way you
want and choose your font and text
alignment options as before.
We have also created a few other text
styles using different fonts and colors.
Drag any of these text objects into an
image area and double-click it to edit
the text.
Special Characters
You’ll notice that some of the text objects use special characters like
these: ★ .
You can find lots more of these types of characters under “Edit >
Special Characters…”
Select text somewhere in an image area, choose a special character
and click “Insert” to add it to your text.
