Fonts, formatting, and drawing appearance

Project fonts control text in the drawing and its exports. The interface font only changes Redline's controls.

Frontmatter font sizes use physical points and do not scale with page density. They stay consistent on paper across all sheets, even if they look different relative to the drawing grid in the editor. See Frontmatter and title blocks.

The project font stack

Open Fonts to manage the project's embedded font families. Text using project defaults uses these fonts in order. If a font lacks a character, Redline tries the next family.

Move families up or down to change their order. Added fonts travel with the document and increase its file size.

Browsing installed fonts

The font browser searches installed families and previews a selected family before adding it. The preview reports its available styles and data size.

Font choices for new drawings

New project fonts sets the family order and text size to use when creating a project. You can also use the current project's font setup as these defaults. Changing them does not affect existing drawings.

New projects embed available families from that list. Unavailable families are skipped; when none can be used, Redline chooses an embeddable platform monospace default. Existing projects retain their own embedded fonts regardless of a later preference change.
