I just tried Dave's method, and it worked flawlessly (LO 5.2.6.2 on
Mac OSX).

Hi.
Trying to imitate a layout from MS word (words around a
circle) in
writer.
I can enter the words, get the shape, colour, etc. but in
writer can't
change the font.
If I do the same in draw the properties side bar has
Character where I
can change the font.
In writer the sidebar does not have Character.
LO 5.1.4.2
Am I missing something, help appreciated.

Hi Steve,
Double click on the Fontworks object to access the underlying
text.
Select/highlight (eg. Shift + Home keys) the displayed text
and choose
the required font from the style drop-down or that sidebar thing.
Click outside of the Fontworks object to finish.
Note: Fontworks is converting normal fonts into vector shapes,
so some
results may not always be pleasing.
Hope this helps.
Dave
Thanks Dave, but that didn't work. The highlighted text changes
(and stays changed) but the changes don't go show in the fontwork
text. LO 5.1 and 5.2, OSX, Win and Linux.
I have it worked out now, Dave your examples helped.
What I was doing was double clicking, "highlighting the text" and
changing font in the top left font drop down. The highlighted text
changed but not the fontwork.
When I double clicked Daves example I found the properties panel on the
right showed a Character setting that facilitated changing font, this
worked. This character setting is displayed in draw without double
clicking (just by clicking on the fontworks).
Investigating further I found when you double click on the fontwork, the
text to edit has a space at the end. You must select this space and the
text characters for the font setting from the top left font list to take
effect.
Thanks again for your help,
Steve
