Online help was written using the fonts and typefaces specified in the Documentation Conventions section of the
3D ACIS Getting Started Guide. The Times font is used as the proportional serif font and Helvetica is used for the proportional sans serif font. Courier is used for the typewriter or fixed font. Your browser will attempt to locate these fonts on your system. If these fonts are not installed, your browser uses the fonts specified in your browser preferences.

The
3D ACIS Online Help system supports only limited customization of the font display through the default settings of your browser. Changes to the size or style of the font applies to all three frames. Font size and style changes can not be made frame-specific. It is possible to:
|
|
|
Change the size of fonts in all three frames (simultaneously) for easier reading.
|
|
|
Change the style of font used in the selection frame for subject lists, book table of content lists, and code type lists (e.g., list of functions, list of classes, etc.). However, you cannot:
|
|
|
Change the style of font used in the data frame for reference templates. For example, descriptive text is always in Times Roman, references to code items within descriptive text are always in Helvetica, and code fragments are always in Courier.
|

|
We recommend browser font sizes for
all three fonts be set to the same size. That size should be no smaller than 10 points and no larger than 14 points. You may experiment with browser font sizes until you are satisfied with the appearance of online help. The use of different fonts may cause slight differences in the appearance of displayed text, especially for word wraps and tabs.
