The Little Mac Book, Tiger Edition [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

1.

First you'll select the characters you want to change.

2.

Then you'll choose the font that you want to apply to the text.

1.

First add a headline at the beginning of the paragraph you typed earlier. To do that:

With the mouse, move the I-beam to the beginning of the text; position it to the left of the very first letter.

Single-click at that position to set the insertion point. If you miss and the insertion point is a letter or two to the right or perhaps on the next line down, use the arrow keys to move the insertion point to the very beginning of the first line.

2.

Type a headline of some sort, something like My Important Headline. The existing text will move along to the right as you type the new headline.

Tip

To see what each font looks like, click the "Action" button in the bottom-left of the Font window (the gear shift button), and from its menu choose "Show Preview." Each font and size you select will appear in the preview.

3.

At the end of your headline, hit Return twice.

4.

Now select the headline: Starting at one end or the other of the headline, press-and-drag over the text so you select every character. (Or triple-click in the line.)

5.

Now that the headline is selected, go to the Format menu, choose "Font," then "Show Fonts." You'll see the dialog box shown below.

6.

Select a font from the "Family" column, then a typeface style from the "Typeface" column, then a size from the "Size" column (or type a number). Voilà!
