The same Align And Transform and Appearance controls are displayed in the Essential
Graphics panel, but now there are additional controls that determine the appearance of the
text.
Note
You may have to expand the window or scroll to see all the Essential Graphics panel
options.
Note
When working with CJK fonts, Tsume adjusts the spacing around characters without
adjusting the vertical or horizontal scaling of the characters.
Note
With all the clicking and testing, it’s easy to accidentally deselect layers. If there’s no
bounding box with handles around the text or shape, select it using the Selection tool.
- Try a few fonts and font styles to experiment with the controls. Anywhere you see blue
numbers, you can drag with your mouse to update the setting. This is a quick way to find
out what a control is for.
Tip
If you’re ever unsure about the purpose of a control, hover the pointer over an icon
and a tooltip will tell you the name.
The specific fonts loaded on each system will vary, and your Adobe Creative Cloud
membership includes access to many more fonts than you will have available to begin with.
To add more fonts, click the Add Fonts From Adobe button (or choose Graphics > Add
Fonts From Adobe Fonts on the main menu bar). This will open the Adobe Fonts website in
your default internet browser, where you will find thousands of fonts to use.
