mahoye Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I use a font that has very small punctuation marks. I'd like to create a paragraph style that allows me to mix font styles--so that I can use one font for the letters and another font for all the punctuation. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhikkhu Pesala Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Is this font really so important to your work that you cannot find a better one? Find and Replace might be used to select the punctuation and apply a character style, a different point size, or a different font, but this kludge will surely cause problems.

Does anyone know of a way to do this? As the name applies, a Paragraph Style applies to a paragraph, and it has 1 font specification. If you have any characters in that paragraph that need a different font you would need to apply another (probaby Character) style to them. Or, you could design your own font.

I'm always up for a good old fashioned kludging. This worked perfectly. Thanks, BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenmcd Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I am curious ... what font is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahoye Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Backtalk and Backtalk Sans. https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/btn/backtalk-sans-btn/#index Like them both a lot--except for the small punctuation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenmcd Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Looked at the Backtalk Sans. I see what you mean. The curly quotes are much smaller than the regular apostrophe and quote. The visual weight is just off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
