If you want to set up a substitute for a range of fonts, deselect the checkbox(es) of corresponding attribute(s). The Number of matched fonts shows how many of the fonts in the current document will be affected by the substitution. You may notice that this number increases as more of the fonts in the document conform to the specification. For example, if just a size of 8 point were specified, then the substitute font would be used for any 8-point font in the document.
A window shows a sample of text in the font selected. You may change
| • | the Sample text shown in the window: select a string from the drop-down list |
| • | the Scale at which the sample text is shown in the window: use the spin arrows to adjust the apparent size (1=largest, 9=smallest). |
| • | If the characters shown in the sample text are not the same as those you have chosen to be displayed, you may have an inappropriate symbol set selected: try choosing another from the Conversion drop-down list. |
| o | It is sometimes necessary to change the 'Source' to set up the correct symbol set: try Windows driver or other from the General page of the Configuration dialog (F8): see About symbol sets. |
