Text Style

You can change the text style (for example, font name, size, color, and style properties) of any part of the text in a text object or for multiple text objects.

PrintShop Mail offers multiple ways of formatting your text. These styles can be combined for better control.

You can also modify the following text properties:

In MacOS, the terms Kerning and Tracking are reversed than in Windows. For simplicity's sake, we use the Windows names in this documentation.

To change the styles and properties, first select either a text object, multiple text objects, or any number of characters within a text object. Then use one of the following options:

You can also use keyboard shortcuts to control some of the styles:

Note: The text style of a variable depends on the style of the first delimiter, the character marking the beginning of a variable. (Applying style to variable = apply style to first marker)

Note: The precision of a font size is up to 0.5 points. For example, a font size of 10.5 points is allowed, but 10.3 is rounded to the nearest half (10.5).

PrintShop Mail Fonts

PrintShop Mail, just like any other software on your system, enables you to use any font installed in your system folders. Additionally (in Windows only), PrintShop Mail can also read any font file located in the same folder as the PrintShop Mail Document, or a Fonts subfolder located in the same folder as the PrintShop Mail Document.

Windows Only: Font reading priority: If you have fonts of the same name in all three possible locations, the priority in which PrintShop Mail reads the fonts is as such: Fonts in the same folder as the document are checked first. Fonts in the Fonts subfolder are checked second. Fonts in your operating system fonts folder are checked last.

Fonts can always be used by multiple PrintShop Mail Documents.
