Using ScreenFlow Menus : Font Menu

Font Menu
This topic describes each item in the Font menu. Font options apply only to text clips in your project.
Show Fonts (Command-T)
Displays the System Font Panel. Select a font to apply to highlighted text, or all text if none is selected.
Bold (Command-B)
Makes the current text selection bold.
Italic (Command-I)
Makes the current text selection italic.
Underline (Command-U)
Underlines the current text selection.
Bigger
Increases by one point the font size of the current text selection.
Smaller
Decreases by one point the font size of the current text selection.
Kern
Kerning adjusts the distance between glyphs (characters) in text to make it look better balanced. For example, tucking in the A under the V in the phrase AV. Kern applies to all selected text in a text box. If no characters are selected but the insertion cursor is placed between two characters, Kern applies to that pair.
The Kern menu item has the following submenu options:
Use Default
Use the default kerning built into the font.
Use None
Disable all kerning.
Tighten
Decrease the distance between characters.
Loosen
Increase the distance between characters.
Ligature
A ligature is a character that combines two or more other characters. For example the ligature ? combines f and i. Not all fonts contain all ligature characters, but their use is turned on by default in ScreenFlow.
The Ligature menu item has the following submenu options:
Use Default
Use ligatures if the font uses them.
Use None
Do not use ligatures.
Use All
Use ligatures.
Copy Style
Copies the Text style of the selected text. This does not copy the background of the text as the background is for the whole Text Box.
Paste Style (Alt-Command-V)
Applies the previously copied Text Style to the currently selected text. This does not paste the background of the text as the background is for the whole Text Box.
Make Text Properties Default
Saves all the current text properties for the selected Text Box clip and make them the default. When you create a new Text Box, the default text properties are used.
