Despite that, there were a few staggers when Art Text tried do something – it could hang for a second or two.
#ART TEXT 3 MAC OS#
Fonts have long been a potential source of crashing, and repeated changes (through the Mac OS Type dialogue that appears with Command T).Ī few glitches - My MacBook Pro is three years old now, but still a mean machine with a fast i7 CPU and 16GB RAM, plus SSD storage. And just changing the typeface on a preset display text is interesting, although I managed to crash Art Text doing this. The presets might amount to populist blunt instruments, but since their creations are almost infinitely customisable, they’re handy starting points.Ĭhoosing the right typeface for a look is important, and the presets manage to combine typefaces very well with the effects – that’s good design. Patience -With some patience, it’s possible to get really sophisticated visuals thanks to layering and a great depth of tools and features. But you can kern (manipulate the space between the letters) to some extent, make text left- or right-flush or centred, although to change a type attribute (font, size of a word etc) you have to select it at top right and invoke the OS Fonts dialogue (Command T).
The effected type is displayed centrally and you can spin it through space in 3D mode by selecting it and dragging up, down and around – you can’t edit this directly, you click the central display text to edit and a little notepad area appears at top right.Ī fine typographer’s tool this is not – it’s for large-point-size display text, and while that might seem like a gimmicky approach, it’s refreshingly well done with a huge range of possible transformations once you have chosen a preset. Art Text 3 is a display text editor that comes with a variety of presets (22 – Cheese, Chocolate, Donut, Lava, Fire, Metal, Road for example) and while it has enough of a selection to get you started (in fact, to get your mouth watering) and even a Sample Browser of more complex products. BeLight seeks odoo delight with this software, and largely succeeds.
