It is without a doubt that text styling serves as an integral part of user interface design. From choosing the perfect font to applying the most-fitting color scheme, these minute details all come together to create a certain theme and coherence for an application. Between the Windows and Mac platforms, there are dozens of fonts to choose from; however, it can be difficult to quickly preview a font in the 4D Form Editor, as the interface only shows a font’s name in the Properties List window. This technical note introduces a 4D component that allows the developer to not only solve this issue, but also generate and export an entire style through a compact graphical interface.
