SI Editor Format Menu - Fonts 

This command can also be executed from the SI Editor's keyboard shortcut Alt+C.

The Font command is used to modify the font type, size, and style of text that is connected to a specific tag.

Use this function with caution! Modifying the font will globally impact all SpecsIntact files for all JobsA collection of projects and MastersA collection of Masters consisting of the Unified Facility Guides Specifications (UFGS), local agency or company Masters. These changes will persist until the fonts are reset using the Default All button or until the software is reinstalled. Please note that headers and footers are hard coded as Courier New 10 and cannot be altered through these settings.

Tag

Use the Name field to select the name of the tag to format. The corresponding tag will be displayed to the right within the Tag field.

Font

Select the font type, size, and style to be used for the displayed tag. 

• Face: A list of fonts that can be applied to the selected tag and used to display text within the Section (e.g., Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri, Segoe UI, etc.).
• Size: A list of font sizes that can be applied to the selected font face.
• Foreground Color: Used to add a foreground color for the text identified by the specified tag.
• Background Color: Used to add a background color for the text identified by the specified tag.

If a font type or size is inherited, it indicates the selected tag inherits the font settings from its parent tags. The foreground and background colors are not standard elements used in UFGS Master specifications.

• Styles: Specific variations in the appearance of a typeface,  such as bold, underline, italic, strike-through, subscript, or superscript.
• Attributes: Specifies when the fonts are inherited or persistent. The unchecked font follows the font style of the containing tag and the checked fonts are persistent and force their font style on any contained tag.

If you want to give individual occurrences of text the following attributes, use the corresponding tag: Bold, Italic, Center, Underline, Superscript, and Subscript.
