Chapter 8 Working with Text 169
The Fonts window gives you extensive control over fonts. Use size controls and
typography settings to customize the appearance of your text.
To modify the font of selected text using the Fonts window:
1 Click Fonts in the toolbar.
2 In the Fonts window, select a font style in the Family column and then select the
typeface in the Typeface column.
If you don’t see all the font families you know are installed on your computer, select All
Fonts in the Collections column or type the name of the font you are looking for in the
search eld at the bottom of the Fonts window.
A preview of the selected font appears in the preview pane at the top of the Fonts
window. If you don’t see a preview pane, choose Show Preview from the Action pop-
up menu in the lower-left corner of the Fonts window.
3 Adjust the font size using the size slider or other size controls.
4 Adjust the typography settings of the selected font by choosing Typography from the
Action pop-up menu. In the Typography window, click the disclosure triangles to see
and select the dierent typography eects that are available for the selected font.
Dierent fonts have dierent typography eects available. See “Using Advanced
Typography Features” on page 172 for more information.
Adjusting Font Smoothing
If the fonts on your screen look fuzzy, blurry, or jagged, you may want to adjust the
font smoothing style or change the text size at which Mac OS X starts to smooth
fonts. Fonts may also be distorted when exporting to a PDF le. You can adjust font
smoothing settings to smooth the fonts exported to PDF les.
To smooth the fonts on your screen:
1 Open System Preferences and click Appearance.
2 To turn on font smoothing in Mac OS X v10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later, select “Use LCD
font smoothing when available.”
To specify a font smoothing style in Mac OS X v10.5.7 (Leopard) or earlier, choose a
font smoothing style from the “Font smoothing style” pop-up menu.
Depending on the type of display you have, you may notice only small or no
dierences between smoothing styles.
3 If you plan to use small font sizes in your document, choose a point size from the “Turn
o text smoothing for font sizes” pop-up menu.
When text smoothing (“antialiasing”) is on, smaller fonts can be harder to read so you
may want to turn it o for smaller font sizes.
