There are many different fonts to choose from, but it should be remembered that a single document should contain only one or two font styles - too many styles can confuse the document.

Fonts can be changed using the menu bar or the options may be available in a tool bar.

If a font is known as TrueType or Postscript each character is stored as an outline drawing instead of as a bitmap. This means that the characters should never become distorted when they are resized or printed.
