"Character Format" Section
The text of any object is composed of one or more text blocks. A text
block is a section of text with same formatting styles, that is, same font type
and size, font color and font attributes (bold, italic, etc.).
In the Character Format section, each block is described in an individual row.
The title field of each row shows the position of the last character of this block
counting from the beginning of the entire object text.
Font
This field contains the number of the font it has in the font list of the document. The program generates this list basing on the fonts installed on your system. If you paste some text in the document, and the font of this text is missing on your system, the application will display this text in the Arial font.
Size
This field contains the font size in pixels. Only positive values can be used.
Color
This field specifies the color of the text in the block. The value corresponds to the number of the color in the color palette of the document. The value may vary from 0 to 255.
Style
The number in the field describes the font attributes for the text block. Each
attribute is associated with a digit in the binary representation of the number:
2^0=1 - bold;
2^1=2 - italic;
2^2=4 - underlined;
2^3=8 - crossed out.
So, the number for the bold italicized font will be 1+2=3.
Note: Alternatively, these parameters can be changed under the Font tab of the Text Properties dialog.
