Change Font in Inspector?

Hey! Not sure if this is a question or a feature request ;) But it would be great if it was possible to change font directly in the inspector. Now it seems like you have to open the OSX font selector thing (Cmd-T). Problem with that is that it doesn't seem to open with the font that is active selected. Which means it's impossible to tell what font is being used! How can I tell what font a certain text is? |

The Font and Color palettes are system wide.Programmers like it, because they don't have to invent the wheel for each application. When text in a textbox uses the same font, selecting the textbox will select the font in the font palette. When a textbox has text with multiple fonts, selecting the textbox does nothing, but selecting the piece of text will select the text in the font palette. If a collection doesn't show the font, it will not select the font. You need to select All fonts. And perhaps remembering which font you used is an option. |

Let's say you are a web designer working on multiple webpages all the time, remembering the fonts might not be an option. I never really liked the way the built in font thingie. And even Apple's own application usually offer a way to change fonts within the app. And it's one thing more that I liked about iWeb. It was pretty much a one-stop-shop. You could do alost anything without leaving the app. I loved it and miss it. |

I can give you an answer to part of your first post, or what I do anyway. This is how I find the font I used in a Text Box. Open the Font Box thing. Click on a Text Box to select it. Double click to highlight it all. Single click. With the single click it usually shows in Font Box |

Thanks. Annoying that it doesn't seem to show what font it is if everything is selected! Another font related issue I came across now: Why does the line height change when I switch from regular font to bold? And one more thing. If I haven't changed the line height it says 1, in the line height box. If I want to change that to 1.5 I can't just put a 5 behind the , but need to first change that to a . so it seems like 1,5 doesn't work but 1.5 does, which makes no sense since there is [ 1, ] in the box by default. (and once the correct line height is set and you leave the box, when you come back it's says 1,5 but you can't then change to 1,6 but have to again write 1.6.) Last edit 11 years ago |

Quote: Annoying that it doesn't seem to show what font it is if everything is selected! If the fonts window doesn't show the font family when all the text is selected, it means that you have a mixture of font weights and/or styles in the same text box. Quote: Why does the line height change when I switch from regular font to bold? A bold font takes up more space than a normal one. There are several ways of expressing line height in CSS. The EverWeb control uses the number method although the line height is actually outputted in px in the actual code produce by the app. The number you enter will be multiplied by the font size to set the line height. Therefore you need to use a decimal point and not a comma. The number system of declaring line height is often used in DTP and word processing apps so it is probably more understandable to those who have experience of these type of apps and not so much with web design. Apple created a lot of problems and confusion with iWeb by trying to model it on a DTP app rather than a web design one. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

I've been using DTP applications since 1994 they don't work that way. Quote: There are several ways of expressing line height in CSS.

That's why I loved iWeb... Quote: The number you enter will be multiplied by the font size to set the line height. Therefore you need to use a decimal point and not a comma. But why does the app change it to a comma all the time? But won't react if I use a comma but only a point? That makes no sense?. |

I want to set my line height and then I want EverWeb to stick to it no matter if I use bold, or ultraslim. Quote: There are several ways of expressing line height in CSS.
