There is only one font you can
choose
for your text. This font,
called
Topaz, is the same one used by the Workbench for menus
and icons. You can, however,
select
one

TOPAZ_SIXTY is the larger, TOPAZ-EIGHTY the
smaller.
If
the

Select one of the four display modes for text. These modes
are:
JAM I, where text is
shown
in the
currently selected
fore-

color without a background
JAM2, where text is
shown
in the foreground
color against
the
currently selected
background
color
COMPLEMENT, where
each
pixel that makes up the text
is
the
color "opposite"
the
color of
the pixel that
it
replaces
.
(To see
how this works
,
add
text to
an
icon
containing all
four
colors,
then move the text
as
described below.)

replaces existing
pixels in the icon while the

one or
more times until the

background
color,
and
display mode.

the Selection button after you
select
an
