Searching for fonts

Corel Font Service is a utility that checks what fonts are installed on your computer and generates a font database with keywords. These keywords include font names, font technology, and other metadata included in the fonts, and can be used to search for local fonts from within the Font list box.

When you start typing a font name or another keyword, a relevant list of fonts is displayed. This list is automatically updated as you type. To refine your search, you can type two or more keywords. For example, to find all available Arial fonts that have bold weight, you can type Arial bold in the Font list box.

To search for fonts by using keywords

1 .

Click the Text tool

in the toolbox.

2 .

Open the Font list box on the property bar.

3 .

Double-click in the Font list box, and type a keyword such as a font name or font technology.

4 .

To refine your search, press the space bar after typing the first keyword, and type another keyword.
