From the main screen (which you reach by clicking on "Style Manager" on your Dispatch home page) you can choose to edit an individual font or style by clicking on its name. You can also list all font or style data on one page by clicking on the heading at the top of the list. TIP: If you are having trouble identifying a character during the File Analysis portion of the Publisher process, open a second browser window and go to the Style Manager. Click on "Display All Font Data" and wait for the page to finish loading. Search for the number of the character you can't identify and see if another font (especially one in the same family) has that character and if it could be the same. Character numbers may not match, however, from one font family to another.
If you want a font to be bold any time it is used within your documents, place a <b> in the Begin field and a </b> in the End field. Unless you use a specific font in a very limited, consistent, and entirely unique way, you generally do not need to provide any additional data for Fonts.
For example, if a particular style is a subhead within a story (not the subheadline for the story itself) and you want that text to be bold and a size larger than normal text, place the <font size="+1"> and <b> codes in the begin field and the </b> and </font> in the end field. (Be sure to properly nest HTML codes.) Remember, you can include any HTML, JavaScript, CSS, or other tags within the begin and end fields. TIP: Because the code you enter during the File Analysis portion of Publisher is all on one line, the resulting HTML code may not be easy to read if it needs hand editing. In Edit Style Settings, you can place line breaks between portions of code to format the HTML as you prefer.
NOTE: Deselect "add to story" if you want the style removed from the story. This is common with database fields such as headline or subheadline.
