Font Panel

The Font panel controls the conversion of text in legacy plans when they are opened in Chief Architect Version X1 as well as the text used in materials lists.

Choose Legacy Text Conversion, Legacy Dimension Conversion, or Materials to define the font for that use.

Legacy Text Conversion sets the default font for text created in previous versions of Chief Architect. See "Sizing Text".

Legacy Dimension Conversion sets the fonts for dimensions created in previous versions of Chief Architect. See "Sizing Text".

Materials sets the default font for the Materials List and Master Materials List created in previous versions of Chief Architect.

Legacy Text and Dimension Conversion settings only affect plans from previous versions when they are opened in Version X1. You should set these values to the default font that you used in previous versions before opening legacy plans.

Click the arrow to select a font for the specified use. The program finds the fonts currently installed on the computer and makes them available.

Select one or more font styles to apply to the specified use.

Sample text displays the selected font and font style.

Set the size of text objects individually in the Text Specification dialog or globally on the Text tab of the Text Defaults dialog.
