Font dialog box
How to get there
This dialog box appears any time you click a Set Font button. You can find a Set Font button in, for example, the Select Default Fonts dialog box and the Text Expression Designer dialog box.
You can also reach this dialog box by clicking the Text tool 
and selecting Text > Font.
What it does
In this dialog box you can specify a font (typeface), point size, and style for the text element you’re defining. PrintMusic displays sample text to show the effects of your selection.
- Font. In this scrolling alphabetical list, PrintMusic displays every font installed. Click a font name to select it. If any elements in the score use fonts that were present when the document was created or edited, but are no longer installed, then the font name appears in the Font text box but not in the scrolling font list. Any fonts that were present when the document was created or edited but are no longer installed appear dimmed. At the top of the dialog box, PrintMusic shows you the actual text you’ve typed, if appropriate.
Note that when you’re creating musical elements such as Expressions, PrintMusic conveniently displays the default music font at the top of the list, Maestro, as well as in its normal alphabetical position.
- Font Style. Choose an appropriate style for the font you are setting. Select Regular, italic, bold or bold italic. You can view the effects of these font style changes in the Sample text box.
- Size. In this text box, enter the size, in points (72 per inch), for the textual element you’re designing. Each time you enter a number, PrintMusic updates the sample text display to reflect the change.
- Sample display. This display shows how the font selections you have chosen will look.
- Script. Some fonts contain a number of different scripts in the same font. You may choose which script to use with this drop-down list.
- OK • Cancel. Click OK (or press RETURN) to confirm, or Cancel to discard, the font change you’ve specified. You return to the previous dialog box.
