mariocha

I can type a font size value in the top-right field.

and move the slider also.
But still cannot change font indeed.

Found this in my console (in case it helps):

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the late response on this topic.

The Font problem is a known issue with Leopard using the 3D Text Tool.

Here are a couple of other gotchas...All the problems are being worked on as I type and we hope to have this problems resolved soon.

A brief Leopard update

It is not only 3D Text Tool, it is ALL Text tolls !!!
Hum... I hate a response which is off the matter. Feels like a quick "get it off my desk".

Hi Guys,

Though I'm on Windows, I know that most recent maintenance release 4 covered some issues with Leopard.
Could you download and install and check back whether the problem still exists?

Hey !!! After reading your message, I launched SU and, bing, it says a newer version is available.
And, YES ! the text problem is solved ! Mac v.6.0 (6.4.120)
Great Job guys !

Ah, good news then.
Thanks for reporting back (they need reassurance at the very moment...)

Hmm, I have that same version and although I can set the font and size of 3D text I can't do anything with dimensional or other text; the font dialogue is simply ignored and attempting to use the context menu and the font->styles option just makes a chirp.
