Shift+Return to apply a value and then highlight the value just edited, or Tab to apply a value and move to the next
text box in the palette.

About fonts
A font is a set of characters—letters, numbers, and symbols—that share a common weight, width, and style. When
you select a font, you can select the
font family
and its
font style
independently. The font family is a collection of fonts
sharing an overall typeface design (for example, Times). A font style is a variant of an individual font in the font
family (for example, regular, bold, or italic). The range of available font styles varies with each font.
Illustrator comes with a wide variety of fonts. To view a catalog of these fonts, choose Help > Welcome Screen, and
click Browse Cool Extras.
