Hi there,

When using typewriter mode, is it possible to change the font to something that looks more modern?

I really like PDF XChange viewer; but the previous pdf viewer did allow me to change the font.

Many thanks

Show the Properties toolbar from the View, Toolbars menu, and select the font from there.

Right click in the text, and select the text formatting submenu, and set the current text formatting as the default.

Thanks for your reply. Perhaps this is something the free version do not have.

I have selected the text and can access the properties by right clicking. Bringing up the relevant properties on the toolbar gives me the same choices, none of which are font selection. I have Fill Colour, Stroke Colour, Border Style, Border Width and Opacity.

No. It is nothing to do with free version or Pro version.

Select the text and you can change the font.
Select the text object and you can change the text object properties.

OK, think I have finally found it. Not as 'blindingly' obvious as you point out but thank you anyway.

The hidden secret is double clicking on the typewriter text, the fonts box comes up, then highlight and change.

Rekusu,

Yep it might not be that obvious but it's like this to allow us to have two sets of parameters to modify. One being the properties of the Typewriter object itself with it's border, background, etc. and the other being the text that it contains. You will notice this in some other tools like the text area for example.

If you encounter any other problem, the forums and we are here to help.

Regards,
Stefan

p.s. Bhikkhu thanks for the help on Sunday
