Reply To: Char Styles: change JUST the font to default

All you have to do is go to that character style, highlight the font itself and hit “delete.”Then close it and reopen and the font field will be blank.

Any attributes will remain.

Now the character style sheet will pick up the font of the paragraph style sheet.

I’m in book publishing and many books require different fonts. So my character style for italic just says “italic,” and nothing else. That way I can use it for multiple fonts or for my templates.

If I receive a file with character styles, I normally take out the font family (unless it’s required) and things such as leading (since that’s in the paragraph style).
