How to edit font and point size of vector text

Post by Rivermonster »

Hi,

I have added 9pt vector text in multiple places of an image. Now I realize it should have been 8pt. I can add new text as 8pt but cant figure out how to change the point size of vector text that is already on the image. If I select a vector text object and then change the point size on the "Size" drop down menu at the top nothing happens. If I right click the vector object and select Edit Text I can change the actual text but not the font or its size. If I right-click the vector object and select Properties I can change stroke, fill, line style etc but this window does not include font or size. How do I change the font and point size for existing vector text objects?

Thanks,

Adrian

1) You have to be editing the text to change the font size.

2) You have to select (highlight) the text that you want to change the properties of. So just hit Ctrl + A to select all of the text quickly and change the font from there.

It sounds really obvious when you say it like that :-)

Thanks!

Just adding to what Levi suggested. You will need to first select the vector text before you can change it. You will know that you have selected the text when you see the a rectangle with 8 nodes in it. Similar to the screen shot below.

Then just make sure you click on the TEXT TOOL then double click on the text to be able to high-light then and change the size.
