286 Text Handling

• Select the font in the gallery and click APPLY to apply to the selected text object, or
double click a font
• Or drag & drop the font name onto any text (selected or not). The pointer changes
shape when in position.

If you apply a font that is not installed it asks if you want the font installed.

Installing or uninstalling a font
The first part of the gallery shows fonts already installed. Remaining sections show fonts
on the CD (either from the CD or from the hard disc made at install time).

1. Click on a font name to select it. You can select additional fonts by either "+
clicking" to select a group or "Ctrl + clicking" to add an individual font to the
selection.
2. Click INSTALL or the UNINSTALL button on the top of the gallery. Alternatively if you
apply an uninstalled font this automatically installs it.
You can also click GET FONTS to download a selection of fonts, but this is only useful if
you haven’t installed the fonts from the Designer Pro CD.

Fonts from other suppliers can also be installed using the Windows Control Panel
(described in the Windows Help and Support section of Windows).

Note that to install fonts from the Font Gallery Xara Designer Pro X must be running with
Administrator privileges.

Fonts and PDF

When you create a PDF ("FILE -> EXPORT…"), you get the option to embed fonts into the
PDF file. Font embedding ensures that anyone who receives the PDF can view and print
the document with the correct font, but it does make the PDF files larger.
