Changing comic book theme font type and size? Is it possible?

Hi,

I was just wondering if there is a way to change the headline texts font of comic book theme in iMovie. It seems iMovie won't let me. But my native language (Turkish) have some special characters. eg: the lower case "i" is still with a dot in uppercase " İ ". BTW, The theme has motion in itself so I can't put a another text with a suitable font...

Any ideas? Thanks...

short answer: No.

long answer: yes .. Themes in iM09 are made with an Apple-technology called QUARTZ. when you open the iM-package (ctrl-click) and dig deeper into it, you'll find someday these .qtz files. With the Quartz-Composer, part of the DevTools, you are able to modify these.. e.g. changing a font. I did that with by-far less elaborated .qtz items of iM (titles).

a) not trivial task, QC has a very .. 'unique' GUI ..
b) you modify the existing file - which is a violation of the End-User-Licence-Agreement plus ...
c) you 'danger' the whole app ..

or, in short .. No 😉
