Setting Font Properties for Text

After you add text to an object, you can adjust the font properties (e.g., font size, color). In the properties dialog for the selected object, you can set the font properties by using either the Font tab or the Rich Text tab. Use the Font tab if you want the properties to be set for all text in the object. Use the Rich Text tab if you want to specify settings for only portions of the text in the object.
