Re: Apple Text Box
Speaking of text styles... The Rev docs have stated (and still do in 2.9) that Condensed and Expanded are style options. When I try them they either don't do anything at all or don't do what I expect. If they do anything at all they just make the text look a little lighter. In HyperCard and other Mac programs of the era condensed and expanded actually did something obvious and useful. I would like to use these options. Is there a way?

Not to mention that Revolution doesn't currently support the full set of Mac typography features available from the Text box--things like drop shadow, kerning, double underlining and strikethrough. So many of the features in the text selector box wouldn't be usable. That said, I'd love to see these features and the text selector box available in Revolution.

Apple Text Box?
Hi everyone: Is it possible within a Rev standalone to call up the Apple Text Box, similarly to how answer color will bring up the Color Box?

Re: Apple Text Box?
One would have to either create an external or make one completely from scratch in Rev (I'm sure that's possible.) I don't think such a beast exists in W*ndows, so Rev probably isn't going to make one.

Hi Paul, Do you mean the character palette? If you know how to do it, it is very simple: tell application Finder open item System:Library:Components:CharacterPalette .component:Contents:SharedSupport:CharPaletteServer of the startup disk end tell Mind line wraps. This should work in Tiger and Leopard. Courtesy of MacOSXHints.com.

I think he means the box you get when you type cmd-T in TextEdit. It shows all the fonts and families and other font style stuff and also has a convenient slider for Text size.
