Here's a small tip, which is way old (from NEXTSTEP): The size field on the font panel in Cocoa apps (Command-T) can calculate sizes. Say you want to make all the fonts bigger in an RTF TextEdit document. Just select the whole text of the document, switch to the fonts panel, and enter (for example) *2.2 to scale all fonts accordingly. This would be useful in a document with multiple fonts at multiple sizes -- you don't want to set them all to the same size (which is what you'd get if you selected all and then just chose a size), but you want them all to be larger (or smaller) than they are presently.

by what factor does the example scale?
I guess I could just try this out, but I'm curious as to why the author didn't indicate how the example (*2.2) would scale the fonts. Would that add 2.2 points? Would that multiply the size of all fonts by 2.2?
by what factor does the example scale?
I think most people would know what to expect *2.2 to mean. Just in case though, it means:
Set relative font scaling in Cocoa apps' font panel
Finally, I can resize text with super- and sub-scripts without having to go through and resize the _script to make it smaller than the normal text!
Set relative font scaling in Cocoa apps' font panel
+, - and / also work as you'd expect.
Set relative font scaling in Cocoa apps' font panel
But 2*8 doesn't.
Set relative font scaling in Cocoa apps' font panel
Thank you thank you! Finally a solution to the biggest drawback to working with Keynote. |
