Installing fonts
When you install InCopy or the Adobe Creative Suite, fonts are automatically installed in the system fonts folder—
Windows\Fonts in Windows or Library/Fonts in Mac OS. For information on installing and activating fonts to be used
in all applications, see your system documentation or your font manager documentation.
You can make fonts available in InCopy by copying the font files into the Fonts folder inside the Adobe® InCopy® CS4
folder on your hard drive. However, fonts in this Fonts folder are available only to InCopy .
If two or more fonts are active in InCopy and use the same family name but have different Adobe PostScript names,
the fonts are available in InCopy . Duplicate fonts are listed in the menus with their font technologies abbreviated in
parentheses. For example, a Helvetica TrueType font appears as "Helvetica (TT)," a Helvetica PostScript Type 1 font
appears as "Helvetica (T1)," and a Helvetica OpenType font appears as "Helvetica (OTF)." If two fonts have the same
PostScript name and one includes .dfont in its name, the other font is used.

Apply a font to text
When you specify a font, you can select the font family and its type style independently. When you change from one
font family to another, InCopy attempts to match the current style with the style available in the new font family. For
example, Arial Bold would change to Times Bold when you change from Arial to Times.
When you apply a bold or italic style to type, InCopy applies the typeface style specified by the font. In most cases, the
specific version of bold or italic is applied as expected. However, some fonts may apply a bold or italic variation that
isn't exactly labeled bold or italic, respectively. For example, some font designers specify that when you apply bold to
a font, the semibold variation is applied.

Do any of the following:
•
In the Character panel or Control panel, select a font in the Font Family menu or a style in the Type Style menu.
(In Mac OS, you can select type styles in the Font Family submenus.)
• In the Character panel or Control panel, click in front of the font family name or type style name (or double-click
its first word) and type in the first few characters of the name you want. As you type, InCopy displays font family
or type style names that match the characters you've typed.
• Choose a font in the Type > Font menu. Note that you choose both a font family and a type style when you use this menu.
Specify a typeface size
By default, typeface size is measured in points (a point equals 1/72 of an inch). You can specify any typeface size from
0.1 to 1296 points, in 0.001-point increments.

Select the characters or type objects you want to change. If you don't select any text, the typeface size applies to new
text you create.

Do one of the following:
•
In the Character panel or Control bar set the Font Size option.
• Choose a size from the Type > Size menu. Choosing Other lets you type a new size in the Character panel.
You can change the unit of measurement for type in the Preferences dialog box.
