#Blender change font of text object update

If they were displayed like 'on' or 'off' before, they'll stay the same, althouh I believe we could hint that we have multiple values in the selected strings like displaying the text in the 'bold' or 'italic' button in italic or with a little star in the end or something.

#Blender change font of text object update

Selecting multiple chars while some are bold and some are italic will not update the bold nor italic icons status since you can't really solve this in binary. This indeed rise the issue you mentionned but I'd suggest simply mimicking behavior like in Libre-Office/Google Docs and I believe most others text-editors if it is doable. Just to be sure, what dono and I, I think, are suggesting is that the bold button should still set the default mode for new text but also for the selected text if any text selected (although I'm not sure making the button contextualized is doable). You can also define a set of objects as a custom font by naming them something like fontNamea, fontNameb, etc. Here you can specify different fonts for standard, bold, and italics as well as various other typesetting parameters. Thank you for your time and congratz on RC1 release! Can you change font in Blender You can change the font used for a text object under the Object Data properties panel. I understand if it's not trivial to fix, but if it should remain like this I encourage you to rethink the way it is displayed in the interface. It is assumed that the bold button will turn any new character to bold AND selected characters to bold. Clicking the bold button and Ctrl+B SHOULD lead to the same operation.

It is not an extra operator that does not behave like the bold button does. Ctrl+B in any text-editor IS the shortcut for the bold button already.PLUS, I'm editing the text rather than the font, so to me the name is not appropriate. The font menu is not really an obvious place to look for when all the text relevant settings are found in the text object properties in the first place.Ctrl+B in any text-editor IS the shortcut for the bold button already. It is not displayed in the little status-bar the very bottom where shortcut are now shown nor anywhere else (I think). The font menu is not really an obvious place to look for when all the text relevant settings are found in the text object properties in the first place. The only way to know the Ctrl+B short-cut for new user is, I believe, within the Font menu. Blender 2.8 imho is all about accessibility, interface and stopping using and abusing shortcuts.If you humbly believe those buttons are working as expected, I encourage you to take a step back and think twice about what a bold button in a text-editor should do. Felinto (dfelinto) : I can only agree with dono.
