Fonts, size & color

Pick a typeface, weight, and size from the toolbar; add text color or a highlight when you need it.

  1. Select the text you want to change.
  2. Open the Font dropdown and choose a font, or type in Search fonts… to find one. Your recent fonts sit at the top under Recent; every installed font is listed under All Fonts.
  3. Use the Style picker, next to the font, to choose from the weights and italics that font has installed, such as Light, Bold, or Black Italic. If the font has only a regular style, the picker is unavailable.
  4. Set the point size with the size box: click − or + to change it by 1 pt, type a size, or click the box to pick a preset from 8 to 72 pt.

For color, click the Text color or Highlight button on the toolbar and pick from the palette. Choose Automatic or No Highlight to remove it. Both buttons are hidden while View ▸ Dark Pages is on.

Note

A style chosen from the Style picker sets both the weight and the slant. Bold and italic still work on it: GLASS reads the style as bold or regular and italic or upright, then applies the shortcut. So Ctrl+B / ⌘B on Black turns the text regular, and on Light turns it bold. The B and I buttons show what the page shows. In Review Mode the shortcut proposes the same change as one suggestion; once it's accepted, the page shows the weight or slant you asked for.
