Overview of Text Styles

All text in a drawing has a text style associated with it. When you enter text,
the program uses the current text style.
The current text style sets the font, size, obliquing angle, orientation, and
other text characteristics. If you want to create text using a different text style,
you can make another text style current. The table shows the settings for the
STANDARD text style.

The settings for the current text style are displayed at the Command prompts.
You can use or modify the current text style or create and load a new text
style. Once you've created a text style, you can modify its characteristics,
change its name, or delete it when you no longer need it.
