10. With the font name highlighted, type ATC.
When you type in the Font Family field, the application automatically presents a
menu of all fonts that include the letters you type.
By default, the application presents any font that includes the search characters
anywhere in the font name; a search for “gar” would find both Garamond and
Devangari. This kind of search returns all matching fonts in the pop-up menu.

If you click the magnifying glass icon, you can also choose to Search First Word Only.
In this case, typing “gar” would automatically change the Font Family field to the first
font that begins with those characters; no menu is presented.
11. Move your mouse cursor over various fonts in the menu.

You can use this method in the font menu to show a live preview of various fonts
before actually applying them to the selected text.

Individual characters do not need to be selected to change text formatting. Changes
made while a type object is selected apply to all text in that type object.

Use this field to
search for fonts
with specific names.

The resulting menu
shows all fonts that
include the characters
you type.
Selected text shows a
preview of the highlighted
font in the menu.

12. Click ATC Coral Normal in the Font menu to select that font.

After you select the font, you should notice the Font Family menu shows “ATC Coral”
and the secondary Font Style menu shows “Normal.” When you use the Font Search
option (as in Step 10), the resulting menu shows all font variations that include the
letters you type — including different styles within the same family.

The applied font
appears in the
Font Family menu.

The specific style
appears in the
Font Style menu.
