Configuring Font Settings for Widget Panel Titles
The Font popup lets you change the font family of a text element and configure the settings that affect its appearance. If the text element is a title, the Font popup will have additional settings that allow you to set the alignment for the text.
To configure the appearance of a Title text element:
1. Click on the font name at the right of an element.
The Font popup will be displayed.
2. Select the font family from the dropdown list.
3. Configure the settings for the selected font.
• Size: sets the size of the font in pixels. Use the slider or specify a value between 6 and 120.
• Line Height: sets the height of the text element by adding space above and below the text. The height is specified as a factor of the current font size. Use the slider or specify a value between 0.6 and 6.
• Weight: sets how thin or thick the characters of the text should be displayed at.
o 400: Standard weight
