Use the Font tab of the Format Editor to change the fonts, the font size, and the font style for text and data fields on your reports.
If your text object is in edit mode, this tab appears on the Text Format dialog box.
- Font
- This list contains all the fonts that you have installed for your system. The list appears with the font that is currently in use selected.
- Style
- This list contains four additional attributes that you can assign to the selected font. The list appears with the style that is currently in use selected.
- Size
- This list includes common point sizes for the selected font. The list appears with the point size that is currently in use selected.
If you enter your own font size, the number you type must be between 1 and 1638. Crystal Reports will automatically round all fractional entries to the nearest 0.5. Consequently, in your report, you can use the fractional font sizes 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and so on, up to 1637.5.
- Color
- Select the desired color from this list if you want to add color to the font.
- Strikeout
- When you select this check box, the program prints the strikeout character across the font.
- Underline
- When you select this check box, the program underlines characters typed in the selected font.
- Character spacing exactly
- Use this option to specify the value that each character in your selected font occupies. The value is defined as the distance in number of points measured from the start of one character to the start of the next. When you change the character spacing, you change only the spacing between adjacent characters, not the font size of the characters.
