Font formatting in templates

Hi all,

I'm making some new invoice templates and have a couple of font-related questions:

(1) Is there a way to set a default font format (font name, size, etc.) so that all new text boxes and fields are formatted the way I want them?

(2) It looks like Studiometry makes some attempt to harmonize font names when editing a template, but I'm getting weird results.

When editing a template, I wanted to change all the fonts from Verdana to "Helvetica Neue". As I was doing that, when I'd change one field and then move on to the next, the next field would show the new font name that I want, but it wouldn't actually change the font itself. By chance, I noticed that sometimes the font name would be changed to "Helvetica Neue" (the name as installed/displayed on my Mac) and other times it would be "HelveticaNeue" (no space), and if I deleted or added the space and hit enter, the actual font would change to the one I want.

(3) On a related note, why can't I type in the first letter of the font name to have Studiometry go down to that letter in the list of fonts? With lots of fonts, it's a pain to have to scroll all the way down to the font I want.

Cheers,

Grey

  Hello,

  1. Currently there isn't a way to select a default font format. However you can simply select multiple items after the fact and change their fonts at the same time.

  2. This might simply be a display issue with the font popup. If you create a new item or select an item that doesn't have a selected font, it might simply show the previous item's font. We'll look into that.

  3. There is a bug related to the combo-box in the Cocoa build of Studiometry, which we're expecting to be fixed in an upcoming build when the program we use to create Studiometry fixes it. This will allow auto-complete in many more situations.

  Hello support.

  On a similar note, is it possible to use custom fonts in code based templates?

  So far I've tried (possibly wrongly)

  - @fontface, with a full online URL

  - @fontface, with Base64 encoded font

  - using the various system names for the font

  And currently no luck.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks!
