InstallShield lets you add custom font sets and text styles to your project and then apply those font sets and text styles to various wizard interface elements. The use of font sets and text styles is helpful for maintaining format consistency and for applying text formatting changes to the wizard interface globally.

To define a custom style:

A font set is a collection of fonts (including attributes such as font name, size, and weight). For each font in a font set, you can specify to which language the font is applicable. This enables you to select a different font for each language that your project supports.

Text styles reference a font set but can optionally override various font attributes that are defined at the font set level.

InstallShield adds a a new style under Styles. Rename the style as needed.

Once you have added a font set, you can select it for the Font List setting of any of the text styles that are defined in the Wizard Interface view. If you later want to change the list of fonts that are used for text styles that are based on that font set, select the font set and edit its settings.

Once you have added a text style, you can select it for various style-related settings in the Wizard Interface view. If you later want to change the appearance of the wizard interface elements that use that style, select the style and edit the values for its settings.

Changes that you make to a style affect all of the wizard interface elements that use that style.
