Working with Text Glyphs
Using the Transform Glyph tool, individual text characters can be modified independently
of the word, line, or paragraph in which they are a member. You can choose the text
attributes to change or animate, including position, rotation, scale, face (color or fill),
outline, glow, or drop shadow.
In addition to modifying text characters independently of their group, you can transform
style attributes independently of the text character. For example, you can distort the drop
shadow or glow of a letter without affecting its face or outline. These transforms can be
applied using onscreen controls or the Four Corner parameter in the Style pane of the
Text Inspector.
