How to change label fonts, size and colors
Click the Settings gear in the map toolbar to open Global settings on the Fonts tab. Pick a Font family, adjust Font size, and set the Font and Halo colors. The changes apply to every label.
Step by step
Open Global settings
Hover the toolbar above the preview and click the Settings gear. The side panel opens Global settings on the Fonts tab.
Pick a font
Open Font family and choose one of 25 fonts, from Bebas Neue (the default) to Pacifico or Playfair Display. Each one previews in its own style.
Set size and colors
Drag Font size (8 to 200), then click Font and Halo under Colors to pick the text color and the outline around it.
More font options
- Turn on Bold or Italic for extra emphasis. They only change labels set in one of the 25 fonts, not in Default (map glyphs).
- Pick a Font effect such as neon, fire, emboss or 3d. Effects need a font family other than Default (map glyphs), and the Font and Halo colors don’t apply while an effect is on. Set Font effect back to None to use them again.
- Click Reset at the top of the tab to return to the default style.
