Creating Menus in Adobe Encore DVD
Adding text to a menu
Adobe Encore DVD provides advanced typographic control. Using the Character palette,
you can kern, track, and scale text. You can also shift its baseline. You can set text
attributes before you type characters, or you can style and format existing text. Adobe

text. In this project, you’ll type horizontal text directly into the menu, and then move it
to the appropriate position.
