1. Re: Character styles that accommodate different fonts?
[Jongware] Apr 2, 2010 8:44 AM (in response to RodneyA)Alas -- no. It's this way, or No way.
When I have to use a font combo that doesn't allow a single Italics style, I generally go with 'standard' italics for the main text. If ID complains about a "[Univers Italic]" because that seems to be used in a Univers heading or caption, I create a new style "univers italic" (no use in beating around the bush!) and search for the font "[Univers Italic]", replacing it with the new style -- ID allows searching for non-existent fonts.
You might think, "but you use the Ctrl+Shf+I shortcut for both fonts to get the italic style", and you might be right. Then again, if Adobe implemented something like that by putting an "I" checkbox (and "B" for bold!) in the Styles panel, it'd get harder to defend their 'no-faux fonts' policy -- and I, for one, am certainly not suggesting they should.
