6. Scroll through the list until you find Arial, and then click it. Notice
the TT icon to the left of the font name. This icon tells you that Arial
font is a TrueType ( .ttf ) font.
The list closes, and in the Font Name text box the Arial font
replaces the txt.shx font that was previously there. In the Preview
area in the lower-left corner, a sample of the Arial font replaces that
of the txt.shx font.
7. Because view labels are generally emphasized, change the Font Style
from Regular to Bold.
The preview in the lower-left corner updates to reflect the Font
Style change.
8. Press the Tab key a few times to move to the next text box. The Height
setting is highlighted at the default of 0 ′ -0 ″ (0).
Enter 18 ( 457 ), and then press Tab again.
A height of 1 ′ -6 ″ (457 mm) replaces the default height. Your Text
Style dialog box should look like Figure 8.5.

the new text style. They can all stay at their default settings.
9. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the dialog box.
The A-Title text style is saved with the current drawing and becomes
the current text style. The current text style appears in the Text Style
drop-down list in the Text panel, as shown in Figure 8.6.
