Using type overview

Text that you place in a FreeHand document is contained in a text block. To control the appearance of text in your document, you can manipulate text and text blocks in a variety of ways. You can precisely control type specifications and apply stroke and fill colors to text and text blocks. You can format type in columns, rows, and tables. You can also place text inside objects or along paths, or place inline graphics in text blocks. For complete information on these and other features, see the sections that follow.

To ensure that type on your pages displays and prints correctly, you should use either PostScript or TrueType fonts. For more information, see About printing fonts.
