The following prompts are displayed.
Specifies the text style name.
Enter the name of an existing file that you want to modify or enter a new name to create a new style.
Lists the text styles available in the drawing.
At the Enter Text Style(s) to List prompt, entering the name of a style displays the name, font file, height, width factor, obliquing angle, and generation of the style and exits the command. Entering an asterisk (*) or pressing Enter displays the height, width factor, obliquing angle, and generation (whether text is drawn backwards, upside-down, vertically, or normally) of each style, and then exits the command.
Enter a TrueType font family name or an SHX font file name. If you do not enter a file name extension, the program searches for an SHX file. If the file is not located, Windows substitutes the first located registered TrueType font.
All long file names except those containing commas are accepted at the prompt. The comma is reserved for the Big Font naming convention: an SHX file followed by a comma (,), followed by the Big Font file name. A space is interpreted as part of the font name, not as a carriage return.
Enter a tilde (~) to display the Select Font File dialog box, where you can select a font from the list.
Sets the character spacing. Value less than 1.0 condense the text. Values greater than 1.0 expand it.
