Add text style

[Dit sectie is nog niet vertaald.]
If you want to create a new text style, click on the [+] button in the bottom left of the Tekststijl-infovenster. The following dialog opens where you can adjust parameters for this text style.

The parameters of the dialog are described below:

Naam tekststijl

Don't forget to give a meaningful name to this text style. You can sort all listed text styles by different methods afterwards.

Font Preview

This field offers a live preview of the currently edited text style, even if a text frame in your document already uses this style. So you can not only browse your available fonts, but also decide if a defined text style is what you want it to be. The preview's font size is limited to 72pt, even if the real font size is bigger.

Label

If you like to organize things by colors, use color labels for your text styles, e.g. to group all Verdana text styles as red text styles. The colors are then shown in the Tekststijl-infovenster's text style list.

Lettergrootte

Here you define the font size for the current text style. It can never be smaller than 0.01pt.

Spatiëring

Define an additional distance between characters, if required. Even negative values are possible.

Vulkleur

Select a fill color for the currently choosen font. If the color popup menu doesn't offer your desired color, please define it in the Kleur-infovenster first. This is true for all color popup menus in this dialog.

Onderstreept

Select a color for the underline stroke if desired.

Doorgehaald

Select a color for the strikethrough stroke if desired.

Met contour

Select a color for the outline if desired. The outline width is a percentage of the font size. You can even choose between Outline only and Outline and Fill.

Schaduw

Select a color for the shadow if desired. At this time, you cannot combine the Outlined and Shadowed style. Define appropriate offsets and a blur radius. A positive x offset moves the shadow to the right, while a positive y offset moves it downwards.

Superscript/Subscript

Check one of these text styles if desired. You can even change the vertical baseline offset of the superscript/subscript styles. Only one of these text styles can be choosen at the same time (for obvious reasons).

Font Browser

The font browser shows all available, registered fonts of your Mac OS X system. The left column shows the font families, while you may find various font faces in the right column.

Uitgebreid

Although not really recommended by typographic purists, you may even expand (or compress) the font widths here. Purists should choose adequate expanded or compressed font faces instead.

Scheef

Although not really recommended by typographic purists, you may even skew the font here. Purists should choose adequate oblique font faces instead.
