You can change the type language. Select the Character panel, click
the Language list arrow (available when you Show Options on the Op-
tions menu), and then select the language that you want to use. You
can also select type using any type tool, and then change the type lan-
guage to something else.
Changing Font Size
After setting the font family and style, the next attribute to set is the font size. The size of
each font character is measured in points (a point is approximately 1/72 of an inch). The
font size can range from 6 points to 72 points and beyond with the right type of font. Open
or TrueType fonts can be scaled to any size and still look and print well. Bitmap (screen
fonts), fonts, on the other hand, cannot be scaled and you need to use the available sizes to
print well. However, bitmap fonts are the best choice for commercial print jobs. An “O”
appears next to an OpenType font, a “TT” appears next to a TrueType font, and an “a”
appears next to a bitmap font on the Font submenu.
