27.7.3.9 The (Options) Text Fonts Tab

Select the default font that displays when you create a text label with the Text tool.

Select the font to be used when you click the Greek button on the Format toolbar or the Greek button in the Text Control dialog box.

Select the default color that displays when you create a text label with the Text tool.

Select or type the default text point size used when you create a text label with the Text tool.

This combination box value controls the space between lines in a text label, as (a percentage of the current font size + current font size).

For example, a 20 point font size and 10% Line Spacing, produces a 22 point space between lines of text within a single label.

The Line Spacing setting can be saved with the project.

This combination box value controls the size of a subscript and superscript in a text label, as a percentage of the current font size.

This combination box value controls the offset of a subscript from the baseline of a text label, as a percentage of the current font size. The subscript displays the specified percent below the baseline.

This combination box value controls the offset of a superscript from the top of a text label, as a percentage of the current font size. The superscript displays the specified percent above the top.

Select the font to be used when Default is selected from the font drop-down list in the Text Control dialog box.

Note: When you open a co-worker's project containing text labels created using the "default" font, note that you may see some differences because Origin displays these text labels using your default font.

This check box applies to all text labels using multiple fonts. When this check box is selected, the bottom of the letters and symbols in a line of a text label align horizontally (for most fonts). This is useful when using several different fonts in the same line of a text label, particularly when using Greek symbols.

Select this check box to rotate text labels to the horizontal position during in-place editing. Original orientation is restored when text label is de-selected.

Clear the check box to maintain the text label's true orientation while editing.

Select this check box to disable mouse-click access to the rotation and skewing handles of a label.

Select this check box to disable the in-place editing mode. When the in-place editing mode is disabled, double-clicking the label opens the Text Control dialog box.
