### Font tab (Format Editor)

Use the Font tab of the Format Editor to change the fonts, the font size, and the font style for text and data fields on your reports.

If your text object is in edit mode, this tab appears on the Text Format dialog box.

##### Font

This list contains all the fonts that you have installed for your system. The list appears with the font that is currently in use selected.

##### Style

This list contains four additional attributes that you can assign to the selected font. The list appears with the style that is currently in use selected.

- Regular
  the standard, unmodified style
- Bold
  changes the font to boldface
- Italic
  changes the font to italic
- Bold Italic
  changes the font to Bold Italic.

##### Size

This list includes common point sizes for the selected font. The list appears with the point size that is currently in use selected.

##### Color

Select the desired color from this list if you want to add color to the font.

##### Strikeout

When you select this check box, the program prints the strikeout character across the font.

##### Underline

When you select this check box, the program underlines characters typed in the selected font.

##### Character spacing exactly

Use this option to specify the value that each character in your selected font occupies. The value is defined as the distance in number of points measured from the start of one character to the start of the next. When you change the character spacing, you change only the spacing between adjacent characters, not the font size of the characters.

For example, if you specify a 14-point font with a character spacing of 14 points, each character will remain as a 14-point font size, occupying a space that is 14 points wide.
