How to Apply A Font Style in Mail?

This seems like a simple question, but I can't seem to find an answer by searning this forum.
I'm new to Mail (recently converted over from Entourage). Quite often, the e-mails I compose are a hodge podge of cut and pastes from other messages and documents. The result is a mix of fonts and font formats.
I would like a simple way to highlight all of the text in a document and apply a single style. Essentially, I want a way to apply a single style to all of the text in a mail message.
I can't seem to find this in Mail. I've tried to "apply" the default style using the Format --> Style ... menu, but that doesn't work as expected (I don't think it changes anything). Looking up "Style" in the Help menu brings up nothing of help.
Any suggestions?

you could also select Verdana 12pt as your Fixed-width font and your Message font in preferences under fonts/colors, then check the box that says "use fixed-width font for plain text messages"
then you could select your text command-A, then Shift-Command-A (to convert to plain text) which would convert everthing to verdana 12pt, then if you wanted rich text message again, just press Shift-Command-A again and it will stay with Verdana 12pt but be a rich text message.
This would only be 2 and at the most 3 key combos with no mouse clicks to achieve what you mentioned in your previous post.

How to apply a Character Style that's already been made in a template document?

First of all I'd like to thank everyone that helps. I'm a complete beginner at scripting and appreciate all your help.
I'm basically using GREP expressions to find patterns in a document and apply a Character Style which has already been made. This Character style was not made using script, but just in InDesign when making and setting up the template.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
//Clear the find/change grep preferences.
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
//Set the find options.
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
//GREP Expression for finding all HEADERS
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+\n";
//Applying formatting changes to put into All Caps, Bold and changing the font size to 12 pt.
app.changeGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.allCaps;
app.changeGrepPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold";
app.changeGrepPreferences.pointSize = "12";
myDoc.changeGrep();
//Clear the find/change preferences after the search.
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
This is how I currently have it. I will manually define the changes to the text. The problem is, each template uses a different set of fonts and not all of them use Bold e.g. Sabon can use CE Bold.
I would like to learn how to apply a Character Style and have tried looking around but nothing seems to work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

select the text where u went and run below script after change group as per ur template.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var mySel = app.selection[0];
//Clear the find/change grep preferences.
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
//Set the find options.
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
//GREP Expression for finding all HEADERS
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "role";
//Applying formatting changes to put into All Caps, Bold and changing the font size to 12 pt.
//app.changeGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.allCaps;
//~ app.changeGrepPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold";
//~ app.changeGrepPreferences.pointSize = "12";
app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle=myDoc.characterStyleGroups.item("Style Group 1").characterStyleGroups.item("Style Group 2").characterStyles.item("Header")// Header is name of character name
mySel.changeGrep();
//Clear the find/change preferences after the search.
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

Apply different font styles in single text frame

hi all
how can i apply different font styles in a single text frame using indesign script ?
for example :
"dasdnasndasndlasndnasdlasdasdas"
may i know is it possible to do that and how to do that ?
thanks

You can set (as well as read) every single property of any text range with scripts. This is javascript; it assumes you text cursor is inside a frame with some text.
* Setting some specific characters to a color:
app.selection[0].parentStory.characters.itemByRange(5,10).fillColor = "Red";
* Change the font of words:
app.selection[0].parentStory.words[3].appliedFont = "Arial\tBold";
* .. or just the style:
app.selection[0].parentStory.lines[2].fontStyle = "Italic";
* .. or any other attribute (this one requires you to have at least 5 characters selected):
app.selection[0].characters[5].underline = true;
Of course these operations are not limited to something you select; they work the same with any text frames you can refer to.
app.activeDocument.textFrames[1].paragraphs[2].appliedCharacterStyle = "charstyle";

How to change header font style in Spark DataGrid?

I'm looking since last week for a way how to change the font style of the header in a Spark DataGrid. It drive me nuts that I can't find a way to do this. Have anyone one an idea how to achieve it? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
- Artur

Hi,
Some styles won't work because some text styles got hardcoded into the DefaultGridHeaderRenderer's Label. You'll run into this issue not just with the DataGrid headers but also things like the Panel's title and other places where we have text. One way to get around this issue is to create your own custom headerRenderer based on the default one and then redefine the headerRenderer skin part in the skin.
First, create a subclass of the DefaultGridHeaderRenderer and tweak the "labelDisplay" to your liking (or even just take out all the styles and style it on your own as you had earlier using your custom header renderer's name). Example below (I named it "CustomHeaderRenderer"):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<skins:DefaultGridHeaderRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                                 xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                                 xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                                 xmlns:skins="spark.skins.spark.*"
                                 xmlns:comps="comps.*">
    <fx:Declarations>
        
        <s:Label id="labelDisplay"
                 verticalCenter="1" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"
                 textAlign="start"
                 verticalAlign="middle"
                 maxDisplayedLines="1"
                 showTruncationTip="true" />
    </fx:Declarations>
</skins:DefaultGridHeaderRenderer>
Next, create a simple DataGrid skin by creating a subclass of the spark.skins.spark.DataGridSkin in MXML and defining a new headerRenderer component in the fx:Declarations section. Example below (I named it "CustomDataGridSkin"):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<skins:DataGridSkin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                xmlns:skins="spark.skins.spark.*"
                xmlns:comps="comps.*">
    <fx:Declarations>
        
        <fx:Component id="headerRenderer">
            <comps:CustomHeaderRenderer />
        </fx:Component>
    </fx:Declarations>
</skins:DataGridSkin>
Last, assign your new skin as the skinClass of your DataGrid (either in MXML or as a style):
<s:DataGrid skinClass="comps.CustomDataGridSkin">
I know it's not pretty, but it's the result of trading off between having completely custom skinning vs. having knobs to tweak every style. Hope this helps.

How to apply Muse (webfont) styles to BC Blogs/Contact Forms?

Hi all.
So my site (designed in Muse) is pretty much ready, except for my blog and a couple of forms. I've just gone through making it my partner site, replacing the so-called "bre-built" default site. That process was very, very simple, but BC Support told me it would be much more complicated than it needed to be - it wasn't! I was able to simply publish via Muse to my partner site domain and everything worked fine...
Anyway... Headers in my site use the "Bebas Neue" webfont selected from within Muse (I assume this is a Typekit font?), at 30pt and a custom colour #B10505. Body text is simply "Trebuchet" (a standard font) in black at 12pt. Now, I'm aware that not everything designed in Muse shows up "as shown" when doing any editing in the back-end of BC. I've just begun following through the tutorial for setting up BC modules on a Muse site and have gotten to the "Inspect Element" stage...
This is where I've hit a snag. This video: http://www.businesscatalyst.com/bc-blog/adding-business-catalyst-features-to-your-muse-sit es (with the blog part starting near the end of 19 minutes) clearly uses a standard font and not a webfont, so when I'm inspecting with Firebug, what's shown in the video doesn't show up the same in reality for me. This is because a standard font is applied in Muse designed sites where a webfont is in use, and the webfont simply "masks" the standard font (if I'm not mistaken?)...
I've read this topic: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5480712#5480712 which pretty much asks the same question I'm asking, but this guy clearly has more knowledge (or maybe more common sense) than me, so I'm asking it in a new topic here...
Can someone please walk me through (step-by-step) how to apply Muse selected webfont CSS styles to the relevant files in BC so that my blog shows up with a consistent look and feel to the rest of my site? I'll literally need every step walking through with minimal jargon if possible - this area of web design is not my forte!
I suppose I'd also like the same process walking through for contact forms if possible? Alongside the header font, I've got a custom styled, beveled button made on a standard Muse contact form that I'd like replicating on a BC-made form.
I'm sure once I understand this process, I'll be able to apply this to any BC module; I just need that initial helping hand that neither the BC team or the Muse team seem to want to reference in their tutorial videos!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi
So, are these links in lieu of a full walkthrough, to help me better understand until if/when you get the time to explain?
The cssbasics.com link isn't working, FYI.
Looking through the typekit page, it seems fairly straight forward. Is this the same set of fonts Muse uses?
If so, theoretically do I just need to copy the snippet of code from the typekit site for my desired font (Bebas Neue) and paste it into the modulestylesheet.css file? Where? At the bottom of everything else? Presumably commenting what it is? and define that I want to use that as a header font? Can you walk me through exactly what I need to put for that?
Then I guess I just need to follow the rest of the video tutorial I linked above?
Or is there a little more to it than that?
Would I need to do the same to define trebuchet as the body font, or is there a different block of code I need for that, since that's not a webfont?
Sorry for being so slow with it!

How to apply different CSS styles to different table cells?

I have an h:dataTable table and I would like to apply different CSS styles to different table cells depending on their content. If I were doing JSP I would probably have a <c:if> test on the cells, and give them a style name depending on contents, and then define the styles in a separate style sheet. Is there a way in JSF to do the equivalent? Thanks.

BalusC wrote:
How to achieve a cell-specific style is already answered in my 1st reply of this topic.That tells how to apply a style to the text (or other content) inside a cell but not how to apply a style to the <td> as a whole. It would work for something like text font or text color but not cell border.
I'm thinking I can mark the content somehow and then have javascript traverse the DOM, find marked content, and traverse outward to the enclosing <td>. Is there a better way?BalusC already spoke about rowClasses and columnClass attributes, I assume those are insufficient.
The Tomahawk dataTable component has the rowStyleClass and rowStyle attributes for assigning CSS to the HTML tr tag. One is allowed to reference the row data variable when assigning values to these. However, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-523 for workarounds to bugs in some implementations.
The Tomahawk column component has the styleClass and style attributes for assigning CSS to the HTML td tag. These also may reference the row data variable.

How to set minimum font size in mail app?

How can I set a minimum font size in mail app? I have received mails that have a font size that seems to be smaller than 9pt which results being nearly unreadable. Sure its possible to increase the font size by pressing cmd + "+" but this setting isn't remembered for the next time I open these mails. Prior to Mavericks there was a solution to write the minimum font size to the defaults. Anything similar for Yosemite?

No, this only applies to the font size for the header displayed above the mail content and the font type and size of the Rich Text mails your are composing. With this setting you cannot modify the font size or type of received messages.

How to use different font styles in the same boolean text?

Hi all,
As reported here http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6BD344ACA4DEE20A8625692700737E16, it is possible to change font color, size or other font properties of a subtext in a string indicator. This can be applied to a caption too.
I'd like to apply this properties to a boolean text but it does not work. The boolean control has the Text.selectionStart and End property node but it does not appear to function.
Can you help me?
Thanks all

This is a bug in the development environment (I think it showed up around LV8).
There's a workaround, but it seems to work intermittently: Place some floating text on your front panel, then edit it's font styles. Select and copy the floating text. Select the boolean text (double click on it). Paste.

How to apply multiple paragraph styles to one sentence?

I'm using paragraph styles but is not helpful because I'm trying to apply 2 different styles within the same sentence which is not working.
To make it work I select the sentence, apply the style, for instance "xfont-regular" then I select the word within the sentence that I want it to have a different style and I choose from the font list maybe italic so that it looks "something like this"
Obviously by doing this, I'm loosing all the benefits of using p styles and of course it's so time consuming. Is there any way to break the sentence, keeping it in the same line, so that I can apply different styles to it? and still keep the benefits of just going to the styles and make the changes to the whole document that have that style applied.
Thank you

As Diane King mentioned, nested character styles may work for your need. Her example was an initial dropped capital (multi-line first one or several letters of a paragraph.) Dropped caps are a specific type of nested style - always the first one or more characters in a paragraph, two or more lines high.
To use the general kind of nested style, you need to be able to identify the word or words within the paragraph that gets the nested character style. For example, the third word, or the first two words after the first semi-colon. If there is no pattern of word(s) that can be identified by position or sequence, it's possible that a GREP style can be used to find a common pattern of characters and apply a character style to it, for example a telephone number, date, or currency amount that's identified by a dollar sign, pound, or yuan.
Search InDesign Help and Google for "InDesign nested style," "InDesign grep style," and similar terms (without quotes) for details. There have been many discussions of GREP on this forum.

How do I change font style in Illustrator CS3?

I am working on an EPS in CS3 and have three simple lines of text for which I would like to change the font style. How do I do that? I've highlighted the text using Arrow and/or "T" tools, and then selected different font styles from Type>Font...but nothing happens. Any simple suggestions for what I would hope is a simple issue? Thanks.

Scott Falkner, your answer was correct. The letters are outlined, not solid black. A new tool appears that looks like a magic wand, and it does allow me to select the outlined letters. However, font changes have no effect, which makes sense if the program does not recognize these as text any longer.
To answer your subsequent question, in my version of the software, a toolbar appears on the left (likely default, as I have never configured a special setting) that shows a black arrow in the upper left defined in the rollover as "Selection Tool (V)," and the second line below to the right shows a "T" defined as "Type Tool (T)." Those are the two tools I was using to select what I thought was the copy.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
FYI Scott Falkner: although I tried to mark your answer "Correct," I got an "Unexpected error has occured " from the Adobe forum Web site, so your answer was marked "helpful" instead, which did not create an error.

How to remove named font style but keep paragraph style

I receive documents in which some paragraphs begin with words that have named font styles applied, such as "Emphasis (Important)". This prevents my code from reading the paragraph style. When I use the "Clear Formatting" function (Home>Font>icon
that shows Aa and an eraser), it removes the font style and the paragraph style. Is there a way to remove only the font style, or a way to read the paragraph style while ignoring the font style?

Do you mean fixed-width? If so try
final Font mYFont = new Font("Monospaced", Font.BOLD, 7);
