Cannot change font, size or anything for typewriter tool

Hello all,
I am having an issue with the typewriter tool. I cannot seem to change my font on about 95% of my PDFs? Every once in awhile I am able to change the font and size. But I cannot find a consistancy and cannot figure out the issue? When I want to write on the PDFs to change size or font, it won't allow me to. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lorne

I believe I have good news for all who have this trouble. It's been annoying since day one.
I accidentally discovered that by setting your cursor just off the edges of the document and begin your typing, the font properties always remain easily available!
Once you have created a typed message (any number of characters is okay), you can then drag the filled-in Typewriter Text Box to any location on the document; and you can continue to edit, at will!
Using the Typewriter Tool, I've had less than 05% font selection success when I type directly on/in the document.
Using the Typewriter Tool, I've had 100% font selection success by starting my typing in this space just off the document surface. Once finished typing, I just drag the box to the document surface. I hope this works for you, too!

Cannot change font size when highlighted. All font changes. How do I correct this?

Frustrated as to why when I highlight a single word to change font size or style every word on the page follows the adjustment. I need to be able to change words individually with font, size and color.

I have stopped using Text Edit as I find it flaky. Instead I prefer Bean:

which does not have that problem!

My typewriter toolbar is graying out the ability to change font size, type, and color.

My typewriter toolbar is graying out the ability to change font size, type, and color.

Here's what I have done in the past. Maybe not elegant, but
it works. (I
use PHP, but I'm sure you can modify for ASP.)
In the HEAD of each web page, include regular old embedded
STYLE tags,
but INCLUDE an external PHP file:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<?php include('styles/testcss.php'); ?>
</style>
</head>
Now in that included PHP file, just have CSS code which pulls
in your
dynamic data. Here's an example snippet:
body {
color: #600;
background-color: <?php echo
$row_recordset['bgcolor'];?>
Of course, you'll need the code for the recordset somewhere
too.

How to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?

hi All
That's great when using SQL Dev.
But I also have a trouble that how to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?
My users think that font in result screen is shown very small, and whenever the data in each colum is long then it's not shown full data in column, they must double click for extend the size. Have the option to default the max size for showing full data in each column ? I try but still not to do that .
Appreciate for anyone to help us.
Thanks all.
Sigmasvn

You can't change the font for the results screen yet, however you will be able to select an auto-fit option for selected columns, so if some columns have slitghtly wider text you'll be able to set the column widths to handle these wider columns.
Also, there s the option of switching the layout of a record in the grid.

How to change font size in dreamweaver

hello? this is really a bit of overkill for a simple question. could someone please help with this?

If by changing font-size you mean in your web pages, the answer is use CSS with values in px, em or %.
body {font-size: 100%}
p {font-size: 1em}
h1 {font-size: 3em}
h2 {font-size: 2.5em}
h3 {font-size: 2em}
h4 {font-size: 1.5em}
and so on....

I try to find place where possible change font siza but don't found anything
Please help

AFAIK there is no way to customize this font size. You can't resize the window either.
You need to report it to Apple Feedback so it can be logged and put in the queue to be fixed.

How to change font size in textarea?

how to change font size in textarea?

to embed a font using actionscript requires adding the font to your library. to do that, click the upper right of your library panel, click "new font..", select the font you want and click ok. find the added font in your library, right click, click properties and tick "export for actionscript" (click the actionscript tab if you don't see that option, at first). assign a class name (eg, WhateverFont). you can then use:
var tfor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tfor.size=22;
var yourfont:Font=new WhateverFont();
tfor.font = yourfont.fontName;
ta.setStyle("embedFonts",true);
ta.setStyle("textFormat",tfor);
