Graphic Fonts and Styles

The Fonts and Styles dialog box allows the fonts and styles of Graphic View entities to be adjusted.

Open this dialog box by giving the “Window | Settings | Fonts and Styles” menu command when the current view is a Graphic View.

In this context “Print” applies to WMF output as well as printed output and print previews; “Screen” applies to bitmap output and the screen image.
