In most cases, you will find that fixed linespacing produces a more attractive result when font size is variable within a paragraph. Note that with automatic linespacing, this is adjusted line-by-line in situations where font size varies from word-to-word or letter-by-letter in the same paragraph. Changes in linespacing and justification apply to the paragraph in which the cursor is located or in the paragraph(s) where words are highlighted.If your cursor is highlighting a block of text, changes in font, fontface, and size apply to the highlighted glyphs.If your cursor is at some particular position, changes in font, fontface, and size apply to the single glyph to the right of the cursor.In Edit Contents mode, things are a bit more complex.

In the top section, there is a button for the font family, and then just below it the fontface in that family. There are a series of sub-tabs to choose from.
