58 Chapter 5 Working With Text
The steps below describe the first approach.
To add text to the Canvas:
1 Create a new track by choosing Track > New Text Track (or press Command-T).
Note: A corresponding track in the Timeline appears.
2 Choose a font:
a Click either the LiveFonts or Fonts tab in the Media Browser.
LiveType comes with a variety of LiveFonts. Click the Category pop-up menu to
access different sets of LiveFonts, including third-party and custom LiveFonts that
you can create.
b Select a system font or LiveFont.
c Click the Apply button.
3 Enter text onto the active track by doing one of the following:
 Type into one of the text-entry boxes in the Inspector.
 Cut and paste text from another application into a text-entry box. (Formatting from
other applications does not carry over into LiveType.)
Note: If you add text to a track before selecting a font, the new text appears in the
Canvas in the default font, size, color, and spacing.
