Typography

Last updated 6/6/2015

Some Type1 fonts are not available in the document. In addition, Mac OS fonts are not available when running

InDesign in Windows.

For a video on using document installed fonts, see Sharing files with easy access to the document fonts (video).

Multiple master fonts

Multiple master fonts are customizable Type 1 fonts whose typeface characteristics are described in terms of variable

design axes, such as weight, width, style, and optical size.

Some multiple master fonts include an optical size axis, which lets you use a font specifically designed for optimal

readability at a particular size. Generally, the optical size for a smaller font, such as 10 point, is designed with heavier

serifs and stems, wider characters, less contrast between thick and thin lines, taller x height, and looser spacing between

letters than the optical size for a larger font, such as 72 point.

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Type (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Type (Mac OS).

2 Select Automatically Use Correct Optical Size, and click OK.

Formatting text

Format text

Use the Control panel to change the appearance of text. When text is selected or when the insertion point is placed in

text, the Control panel displays either the character formatting controls or the paragraph formatting controls, or a

combination of both, depending on your monitor resolution. These same text formatting controls appear in the

Character panel and Paragraph panel. You can also use the Character panel and Paragraphs panel to change the

appearance of text.

Note the following methods of formatting text:

• To format characters, you can use the Type tool to select characters, or you can click to place the insertion point,

select a formatting option, and then begin typing.

• To format paragraphs, you don’t need to select an entire paragraph—selecting any word or character, or placing the

insertion point in a paragraph will do. You can also select text in a range of paragraphs.

• To set the formatting for all future text frames that you’ll create in the current document, make sure that the

insertion point is not active and that nothing is selected, and then specify text formatting options. To set default text

formatting for all new documents, close all documents, and then specify the text settings. See

Set defaults.

• Select a frame to apply formatting to all text inside it. The frame cannot be part of a thread.

• Use paragraph styles and character styles to format text quickly and consistently.
