Opens the Typeface Browser window, showing the current font
and a sample of each available typeface. Type the first one or two
letters of the typeface name to jump to that typeface. Double-click a
typeface sample to select it.
Size
The height of the current font, in screen units.
Width
Percent of normal width. Enter a percent less than 100 to condense
the font, or greater than 100 to expand it.
Bold
Selects a bold version of the current typeface. If no bold version is
available, this item is dimmed.
Italic
Selects an italic version of the current typeface. If no italic version
is available, this item is dimmed.
Small Caps
Turns all lower case characters into small upper case characters.
Leading
Controls the spacing between rows of text. A value of zero
produces the default row spacing. Values greater than zero increase
the space between rows; values less than zero decrease it.
Kerning
Controls the spacing between characters. A value of zero produces
the default kerning. Values greater than zero increase the space
between characters; values less than zero decrease it.
Rotation
Controls the angle of the baseline, in degrees.
Skew
Controls the amount of skew applied to the characters. This is
independent of the italic setting.
Spacing
Chooses the type of character spacing for the font:
proportional
Characters are spaced according to their widths.
monospace
All characters are forced to have the same widths.
digits
The digits 0-9 are monospace, but all other characters are
proportional.
Note
For many typefaces, there is no difference between
“proportional” and “digits” spacing. In other words, the fonts
were designed with monospaced digits.
Keyboard
Selects the keyboard language layout for typing with the font.
