Change font of a portion of text in ring menu
Hi,
I would like to change the font of a portion of a text in a ring menu but it seems that it's more complicated than expected.
I tried to adapt this (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6BD344ACA4DEE20A8625692700737E16) to my purpose.
Here is my VI
You will notice that the entire text is changed...

the reason for this is that you can't do it. essentially, you can use that method only when you can change the font of a portion of the text in the edit mode. In case of your control, you have no provision to do that. Probably you should use picture controls...

How to change Font Type of the Title Text of a JFrame?
Hi,
I want to set a different Font Type for the Title text of the titlebar of my JFrame.
Is it possible? Can anyone show me how if it is?
Thanks.
NiteenMichael,
Thanks. It works!
But there was a problem. I was not using the :-
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
so I have to use it now.
Is it possible to do it without the default decorated look and feel? Because the default LNF title bar has too much height and I am cramped for space.
I know that's no excuse. I tried but it doesn't work.. I am using a extended JFrame like this:-
class Testing extends JFrame
public Testing()
setSize(300,100);
setLocation(400,200);
Container container = getContentPane();
/* add components to this container here */
setVisible(true);
When I use getComponent() for the container, I get an ArrayIndexOutOfBound Exception.
When I set the argument to getComponent(0), the font in the title bar is not changed.
What else should I do?
Thanks.

How do I change font inside the Form's text fields
I went through tutorials on lynda.com and succesfuly layed out my form.
However I can not figure out how to make a change from a default Times Roman in the forms fields to a different typeface.
I assigned object styles, followed by paragraph styles but nothing happens. I also can not change font color inside the text fields.
Anyone knows how to change these attributes?There are literally hundreds and thousands of improvements or changes that could be made to InDesign.
Your comments here won't get to the product manager who decides which of those to implement in the next version. This is a forum of users like you, but if you post at the link below and make a good case, you'll have a better chance of getting what you want:

Can't change Font or Size in Indesign CS6 via dropdown menu
Hi!
I can't change the font on new documents created in Adobe Indesign CS6. I can't choose other fonts or an other font size from the download menu.
If i use the same option from the right mouse button menu, it works.
New installations or repairs of the application doesn't work.
Windows 7/64bit
Adobe Creative Suite CS6 (8.0)
Thanks for every advice.
MartinPerhaps it's this: InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)

Is there a way to change the font size and color of text in the calendar app?
Does anyone know a way of changing the font size and color of text in the calendar app that comes with the iPad 2? It is very hard to see the small gray numbers on the calendar. Thanks
Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem. Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work. You can turn on "Zoom".

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJlol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
Thx,

Acrobat Pro 6.0 - Text Box Properties: How-to change font / default
Inserting text box into an existing .pdf opened in Acrobat Pro ver. 6.0
Need to change font size to smallest. Right-clicking on field to open 'properties', clicking on 'Appearance' tab, BUT there is no choice for 'font'.
HOW DO I...change the font size in a text box?
HOW DO I...set the default to that font/size/color/border/fill?You need to have the Properties Bar open (Ctrl + E), double-click on the text so you can select some of it, and you should see where you can specify the various font properties.

How to change font size & color of text inside note and callout annotation using code ?
Hi,
I want to set different font size & color for the text inside note and callout annotations. And for this, I am setting properties using the DS attribute while creating annotations (see below code).
//"font: Helvetica,sans-serif 12.0pt;font-stretch:Normal; text-align:left; color:#rrggbb";
sprintf(buf,
"%s %2.1f%s%s%s%s;" , "font: Helvetica,sans-serif", float(g_fontSize),"pt; font-stretch:Normal; text-align:left; color:#", str[0], str[1], str[2]);CosDictPutKeyString (cosAnnot,
"DS",CosNewString (cosDoc, false, buf, strlen(buf)));PDAnnotNotifyDidChange(pdAnnot, ASAtomFromString(
"DS"), 0);
But this doesn't work when I just wrire text after creating annotation.
And suprisingly it works fine when I click first outside of the annotaion and then double click to write text inside annoatation.
Is this bug of Adobe ? if not then please let me know the fix.
Regards,
ArvindHi
Is there any way(eg. preference) by which we can change default color & font size for annotation?
Regards,

Can't change font properties on MyriadPro text
The touchup text tool requires me to change the font before to edit some text but this weird myriadPro won't let me change it.
The third and last message that pops tells me that "The change to a different font wan't done because the chosen font and the font encoding in the document differ and could not be resolved"
What could I do? Sender has told me the original document was "editable"...
Thanks,
Marc.But is there a substitution font listed or is it using the encoded font (if so, it is embedded). You might try to select the text with the touchup text tool and see if you can find a compatible font with the same encoding to change the font to. If you are successful, you can then edit with the new font that you have selected.
