![]() Another way to get that particular font listed in the search results would be to type “ro ha” (for “Roundhand”). Type a space to add a new string, then “bl”, and now only fonts that contain both those strings, such as Snell Roundhand Black Script, are displayed. You can restrict the number of search results you get for any given string by typing additional strings type “scri” and all fonts with “script” in the name will get displayed, with those fonts that begin with Script listed at the top. The list then automatically opens to the first word match (if there is one), plus all the rest that have a matching string, and only matching results are in the list.įigure 18 Without applying the Typekit Filter, all fonts are displayed that match the search criteria in the search field You'll have the option to restrict your results to matching only the first word in the name or to include any font with a matching string anywhere in its name. Now we have added choices to make it easier to search. If we opened the list box, we could then continue to scroll through the list of fonts to find other results manually. Using the Search Field for Fontsīefore CC, the search field in the Control and Character panels allowed us to type the first few letters of a font name, and Illustrator would immediately jump to the first exact match in our font list. Characters added within a word will take on any transformation of the character preceding them, unless you first select a following character, effectively replacing it with a new glyph, then type it in again. You can't reposition a character past the first character to its left. The Touch Type tool works on only one character at a time, but several characters may be affected by a single transformation. ![]() To reset the entire text block and remove all character formatting, choose Reset Panel from the Character panel's popup menu. In order to quickly return to a “neutral” position, create a character style for the base settings before you start playing with the Touch Type tool. However, instead of having to numerically rotate a character a negative 27°, scale it by 133%, and reposition its baseline by 35 points, simply click to select the character with the Touch Type tool, then start interactively transforming the character. Unlike placing characters on their own layer with cut and paste, then flipping or skewing the entire object, you can't flip or skew characters with the Touch Type tool. ![]() Unlike using the Character panel to rotate and scale characters, the Touch Type tool directly affects only one character at a time. The tool is designed to work with any input device (including your fingers on touch-enabled devices), but there are some limitations to what you can do with it. Illustrator combined the onscreen interactivity of the Transform bounding box with the ability to use the Character panel to individually rotate, scale, and position characters, and came up with the Touch Type tool (find it in the Tools panel with the Type tools, or click the button in the Character Panel). Figure 16 Using the Touch Type tool to interactively rotate, scale, and position text characters while they remain within one editable block of text (see Steve Gordon’s lesson following the Introduction) Touch Type Transformations ![]()
