To choose a type size
By default, type size is measured in
points
(a point equals 1/72 of an inch). You can specify any type size from 0.1 to
1296 points, in 0.001-point increments.
1
Select the characters or type objects you want to change. If you don’t select any text, the type size applies to new
text you create.
2
Do one of the following:
•
In the Control palette or Character palette, set the Font Size option.
•
Choose a size from the Type > Size menu. Choosing Other lets you type a new size in the Character palette.
To change the unit of measurement for type, choose Edit > Preferences > Units & Display Performance (Windows)
or Illustrator > Preferences > Units & Display Performance (Mac OS), and set the Type option.

About missing fonts
If a document uses fonts not installed on your system, you see an alert message when you open it. Illustrator indicates
which fonts are missing and substitutes missing fonts with available matching fonts. When this happens, you can
select the text and apply any other available font.
To make missing fonts available in Illustrator, either install the missing fonts on your system or activate the missing
fonts using ATM Deluxe or another font management application.
You can highlight substituted fonts by choosing File > Document Setup, and choose Type from the pop-up menu at
the top of the dialog box. Then select Substituted Fonts, and then click OK. Text formatted with missing fonts
appears in pink highlighting.
Greeking type
Adobe Illustrator
greeks
—displays as a dimmed gray bar—type below a specified point size. Greeking type affects
only artwork displayed on-screen, not the printed image. To change the greeking limit, choose Edit > Preferences >
Type (Windows) or Choose Illustrator > Preferences > Type (Mac OS), and enter a value in the Greeking text box.
Any type at or below the specified type size is replaced on-screen with non-letterforms that act as placeholders in the
artwork. In addition, if you reduce the document view so that type on-screen falls below the greek type limit because
of the zoom level, the type appears greeked. For example, if the greeking limit is set at 6 points, 12-point type viewed
at a 50% zoom level appears greeked.
