Changing Fonts

There are two ways to use the Library to change the font of text in the Canvas: dragging
a font to a text object in the Canvas or using the Apply button.

To change the font by dragging a font to the Canvas

1

In the Library, click the Fonts category and then the font subcategory.

Drag a font from the stack onto the text in the Canvas.

As you drag the font over the text, a transparent thumbnail of the font appears and the
pointer becomes a green add pointer (+). When you release the mouse button, the text
is changed to the selected font.

In the Canvas, Layers list, or Timeline, select the text to modify.
