Entering Small Text
The Enter/Edit Small Text dialog box allows you to enter text that is smaller than 0.25 inch
(0.635 cm or 18 points). When entering the Small Text you can choose the Font, Size and Angle
of Rotation. In addition, the Enter/Edit Small Text dialog box provides controls for line spacing,
character spacing, and character width.
There are several types of fonts available in the Font dialog box of the Enter/Edit Small Text
dialog box. Included in the list are bitmap fonts which have no icon before their name.
While you are not restricted in using these fonts, be aware that the fonts may not output
correctly especially if you have manipulated them in some manner such as reversing them.
When you choose one of these fonts, a warning displays that they may not output correctly.
Once the Small Text is created you can use any of the corner handles to resize it on the
Composer work surface. Use the corner handles to resize the text while keeping the original
proportions. Use the top/bottom and left/right handles to non-uniformly resize the selection
(stretching or condensing the text).
