• The settings for Font style and Script
differ depending on the TrueType font that
is selected.
• If text created from multiple TrueType
fonts is selected, this command is not
available. In addition, if text of the same
font but different font styles or scripts is
selected, this dialog box appears with the
attribute settings for the first letter in the
text. In either case mentioned above,
selecting only one character from within
