Configuring Format Sources
In a label template in Loftware Enterprise™ SP, you can configure format sources, which serve as formatting specifications that can be applied to text fields. Format sources allow you to configure formatting once, and then apply it to as many fields in the label template as needed.
By using a Character-Level format source, you can format some characters within a Variable Text field or a Fixed Text field differently from other characters within the field. Each format source can include formatting for multiple styles and effects.
You can apply the following effects:
- Bold
- Italic
- Kerning
- Strikethrough
- Subscript
- Superscript
- Underline
Also, you can apply the following styles:
- Background color (fill color)
- Foreground color (text color)
- Font
- Font size
Note: Character-level formatting is supported for TrueType® fonts only. Also, you cannot use a Character-Level format source to format the human readable text associated with a barcode or to format fields in the data entry form of a label template.
Tip: You can use a Script data source to configure character-level formatting instead. For more information, see Scripting.
