You can define your own font styles and use them when creating text or photo markers. You can also use a font style for tooltips. When you define a font style you can choose a font family, font size, font weight and whether the text is bold, italic, or underlined.
Once you define a font style you can use it with any text marker, photo marker, or tooltip. When you make changes to a font style, any markers or tooltips that use it are updated automatically.
You can use font styles to dress up an interactive map or to make a map more consistent with the text used in the web page that embeds it. If you don’t want to create your own, MapsAlive comes with a number of font styles that are ready to use.
