Introduction to the text layer

Select Names vs Select Files

By default, the fonts are loaded by a group of 4:

  • Regular

  • Bold

  • Italic

  • Bold Italic

Smode will try several rules to find the correct font variation. In some cases, the fonts might not be correctly or fully loaded (missing the bold-italic font for example).

To bypass some loading problems, it is advised to use the Select names otpions and to drag and drop the different fonts in each associated fields.

Using Select names need to have the fonts in your MediaDirectoriesWorkspaceComponent Icon Media Directories

Style and fonts

There is a deep relationship between the fonts filled and the styles. For example: Checking the bold options simply load the font which has been entered in the Bold field. Same for Italic and Bold Italic.
