• If you intend to create titles with font sizes of 128 points or larger,
use TrueType
®
fonts. Some non-TrueType fonts cannot display
consistently at sizes of 128 points or higher.
Previewing Titles
Titles are always saved
in anti-aliased format.
NewsCutter uses anti-aliasing with an 8-bit alpha channel to create
text and objects in titles. Anti-aliasing ensures that text, lines, and
object edges appear smooth, regardless of size. You can preview a title
to see the title drawn with anti-aliasing, just as NewsCutter would
save it.
To display anti-aliased titles:
t Choose Preview from the Object menu.
When you choose Preview, a check mark appears next to the
Preview command and titles appear with anti-aliasing. When you
deselect Preview, no check mark appears next to the Preview
command and titles appear without anti-aliasing.
The display behavior for title objects in Preview mode is as follows:
• You can alter the graphics characteristics of title objects (including
colors, shadows, borders, and transparency) without losing the
anti-aliased preview.
• You can select text objects and apply text styles from the Styles
pop-up menu without losing the anti-aliased preview.
• When you click a text object for editing with the Text tool, the text
displays without anti-aliasing. When you finish editing the text
and click outside the object to deselect it, the anti-aliased preview
is restored.
