Hi all,
When I write text anywhere on the page and when I add a block of text its font styles look different, although the font settings are exactly the same. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? How to achieve a completely identical style?
Style of free text:
Style of a block of text:
Unless you are starting from a custom template where you have exorcised all remnants of the default Helvetica Neue Regular 11pt that Pages v7.3 uses, then that will be the default font in new Text boxes, regardless of what current font is used in the document body.
I have a custom template that uses 12 pt Times New Roman Regular. When I start a new Pages document with it, that font is the default font, both in the document body, and in newly inserted Text boxes. Because the Text box is using a transparent background, the text entered in it will be slightly lighter than the body text of the same font hand due to the dithering caused by the transparent background. As soon as you fill the Text box with a white background, it matches the text in the document body.

Making background white made it looks the same. Thank you! :)
No, I made style of text in the block the same as the one outside the block.
Hi,
I think your current text selection is still outside the box. Click into the box and select the text within to view and change its style.
Kind regards
Different fonts when free typing a text and when in a text block
