graphics\howbutt.gifWorking with fonts

Fonts are character sets that contain a typeface and size. A typeface refers to the style of a character set, such as Helvetica, Courier, and Times Roman. Most typefaces can be modified using bold, italics, bold italic, or normal weight.

Corel LINUX desktop applies different fonts to different areas of the desktop. For example, the standard font for text in the Title Bar of an Application Window is Helvetica. You can choose which fonts display in different areas of the desktop.

The fonts available to use with Corel LINUX applications are listed in the Font Manager. The Font Manager works in combination with the Font dialog box in the Control Center. All fonts available in the Font Manager are available in the Font dialog box and can be used on the desktop or with desktop applications. You can customize the font list in the Font Manager so that only the fonts you choose are available in the Font dialog box and other desktop applications. For more information about the Font Manager, see "Managing fonts."
