You can modify the color, type and dimensions of text objects and value fields. The font selection consists of TrueType fonts and Tekla fonts.
In textual templates the font settings are used only in Template Editor, not in the output template.
Select and double-click a text or a value field to open the Text Properties or Value Field Properties dialog box. Then open the Select Font dialog box by clicking the ... button in the Font area of the dialog box.
