Applying font styles
Font styles are different character types, such as bold, italic, or super-
script, as well as capitalization modes. You can apply font styles in
the Style submenu in the Text menu or the Character tab in the Type
palette.
Font styles can be categorized into three groups: appearance, capital-
ization, and baseline position. To the same text, you can apply multi-
ple appearance styles, but only one each of capitalization and
baseline styles.
