Change font in Document

Hi there. I have a rtf file in which I am inserting string using Java:
FileInputStream fis= new FileInputStream(exampleFile);
RTFEditorKit rtf = new RTFEditorKit();
Document doc = rtf.createDefaultDocument();
rtf.read(fis, doc, 0);
doc.insertString(52,strName.toUpperCase(),null);However that inserts string in font size 12 how can I change that to 8
Another thing is how to set bold to that text.
Thank you

I see where you can see fonts in Acrobat 9 Pro under Document Properties. But the poster was trying to help guide you in the right direction. Don't be malicious towards people who are here to HELP you.
try reading this document:
http://ballade.cs.ucla.edu/~kohcc/sigdacdrom/instruct/fonts.html
and especially this one from adobe's knowledgebase:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/328/328509.html
hope that helps.

Signing digitally changes fonts in document when saved

I have just been sent a couple of document to sign - something I have done many times in the past few weeks.
When I save these documents after signing them - much of the text in the documents changes to something difficult to read (I suspect it may be courier).
This seems like a serious error to me as a lot of the point of digital signatures is that you sign and return a document that you can't otherwise have made changes to.
Is there anything I can do to stop this happening?
I'm using Acrobat Reader 10.1.9 on Mac OSX 10.9.2 (Mavericks). The documents were created on a PC.
I've attached a limited screen shot - although the document is fairly confidential so I can't upload most of it.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, my question was posted so long ago that I no longer have access to the documents. I printed and signed paper copies and deleted them. So the problem has gone away for me. However, I DO think this is a very serious issue.
I am a bit rusty now but I used to work a lot with Postscript and PDF. In my day, you could only realistically modify the content of a pdf document by appending new content to the file and then appending a new index. That ensured that, although the visual appearance changed, the underlying electronic document did not and even deleted items were still present - just no longer indexed and hence not displayed. That was a great system as it maintained an audit trail. I assumed that was how signatures worked which is why I was surprised to see the symptom I sent you.
I fully understand all you say about font substitution and multi-master fonts but I fail to see why it is relevant. If adding a signature is coded in a “well behaved” manner, adding it could not affect the rest of the document - including embedded or non embedded fonts. If it is not coded in that way, and some sort of active editing of the original content is going on, I am concerned that the legality of signed documents is seriously compromised as, if you can modify one bit of the original to add a signature you can edit any other bit of the document and subtly change it’s meaning WITHOUT AN AUDIT TRAIL. If that is what is happening, I for one would be wary of accepting important documents as signed PDFs instead of paper documents without thoroughly scrutinising the whole thing to see if any subtle changes have been introduced.
All the best
Dave

How to change Font size and alignment in Appraisal document - Font settings

Dear Eperts,
We are working on 360 Appraisal. Can Any body explain how to change the fornt size and allignment (text wrapping to wndow size) in Appraisal document.
Thanks and Regards,
Ajaykumar

Hello Ajaykumar,
if I am not completely mistaking the 360° Appraisal uses the Adobe Forms.
In this case the font can be set in the Adobe Live Cycle Designer by selecting "Palettes" -> "Font".
Here is a discussion which addresses this question, and also contains a link to how to handle Adobe Forms:

Download and read page 27 on creating and using Styles, which is done largely by example ie you make the text what you want then save it as a Style to be applied wherever you want in the document from the Styles Drawer.

How to change font size in a table?

How to change font size in a table without using the font style of another document? Please show a sample script. Thanks!

Hi Dave,
Thank you so much for the email. I tried every object and method I can
posibly think about such as
myTable.Rows.Item(1).PointSize = 24
myCell.Characters.Item(1).PointSize = 24
I got error message all the time. These objects don’t support PointSize.
All I need is to change point size of the text in InDesign tables created
using VBScript. Could you help me with this? Thanks,

Changing Font in Adobe reader?

I was doing some pages, in which I can enter the information. The problem when I got to some of the places, is the font was to large in adobe reader? I looked at preferences and could not find any area to change the size of font, so it would fit properly?
Appreciate any help. This is adobe reader 8.1.2
thanks Bruce

Adobe Reader is used for displaying PDF files. PDF files are intended to be an accurate representation of the original document so changing font size isn't normally a feature of PDF readers.
You're probably thinking of EPUB or Kindle files. EPUB readers and Kindles let you change font size.
In a PDF, you need to zoom in on the text to view it larger. Use the normal way of doing it on an iPad: Spreading your fingers on the screen increases your zoom magnification. Closing your fingers on the screen decreases your magnification.

InDesign CS6 - fonts problems (Document fonts fight with system installed fonts, "font incomplete")

hello
First, Indesign function to automatically open fonts from "Document fonts" folder is fantastic, quasy font manager. BUT, fonts is available ONLY for THAT indesign document, no other application can use it, even from CS6 suite. This is probably the most stupid decision about how this function must work. IDEALLY, fonts will be available for ALL application inside CS package until indd doc is closed. If I need some font for editing links in photoshop, illustrator I need to install them. This workflow have wrong concept.
We now have problem, sorry Indesign have problem. Example, I need type1 font mt-symbol for mathtype AND for Indesign. This font is installed in c:\windows\fonts folder. Everything work fine. When I make package from Indesign and reopen indesign indd document inside package, Indesign report that mt-symbol IS INCOMPLETE. WHY, BECAUSE CONCURENT FONTS from both C:\windows\fonts folder AND FROM "Document fonts" folder. If I rename "Document fonts" folder, Indesign open font only from system and everything work properly.
THIS IS BIG PROBLEM, fonts circles around workflow/folders and always will be duplicates in "document fonts" and system\fonts folder because different application need same fonts.
Any solution?

Another problem with the Document Fonts folder that we just noticed: in CS5, you could place Windows Type 1 fonts (.pfm and .pfb) into the Document Fonts folder on a Mac and InDesign would activate them.
This no longer works in CS6. (Bug report filed.)
Huge bummer, as this was a great timesaver and workaround in a high-production prepress environment when working with old Windows files. Hopefully this was not an intentional change and will be restored in a later bugfix release, or at worst in CS7.

Changing fonts in tables

Hi,
I want to change font in a table. It's the only item in the document. Selecting all, and changing font doesn't change anything. It does change any text I subsequently type outside the table, but not the table itself. Adding another row to the table uses the table font. Selecting an individual cell before changing font doesn't change anything either. Selecting the text within the cell before changing font does work, but it would be time consuming to do the whole table like this.
Hope you can help,
Tris.

Tris,
After I read your post, I tried changing typefaces in a table, and it's not as intuitive as it should be.
My favourite word processor, TechWriter, uses a menu so you can choose what aspect of the text you want to select at the point at which the caret is, be it Document or Chapter, down to Table row or Table cell.
But there's a method that worked well for me. Double click on the first cell to select it. Hold down the Shift key, then click on the last cell. The whole table should be selected. Now change the typeface.
Works for me, thanks. I'd still like to know how to inspect the style for the table though.

How to make exception rules for Stylish rules which change fonts?

How to make exception rules for Stylish rules which change fonts?
I use [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish add-on] to change specific fonts to other fonts of my choice, but I have a problem. I want to change the font Arial to Tahoma in almost all pages I visit, but with the exception of websites as wikipedia.org. Because of this, I find myself having a very long list of domains to change Arial to Tahoma, only because I don't want that rule to apply to wikipedia.org and additional one or two other websites.
The current rule I'm using is, (my actual list is a lot longer, but this is just an example): 
'''''@-moz-document domain("mozilla.org"), domain("thefreelibrary.com"), domain("sil.org"), domain("ethnologue.com") {''''' 
'''''@font-face { font-family: 'Arial'; src: local('Tahoma'); }''''' 
I can't use the following rule because I don't want it to apply to wikipedia.org: 
'''''@font-face { font-family: 'Arial'; src: local('Tahoma'); }'''''

Try something like this: 
 
<pre><nowiki>@font-face { font-family: 'Arial'; src: local('Tahoma'); }
@-moz-document domain(wikipedia.org){
@font-face { font-family: 'Arial'; src: local('Arial'); }
</nowiki></pre>
