The parameters of the dialog are described below:

Nazwa stylu tekstu

Don't forget to give a meaningful name to this text ruler. You can sort all listed text styles by different methods afterwards.

Font Preview

This field offers a live preview of the currently edited text style, no matter if a text frame in your document already uses this style. So you cannot only browse your available fonts, but also decide if a defined text style looks like you want it to be. The preview's font size is limited to 72pt, even if the real font size is bigger.

Etykieta

If you like to organize things by colors, use color labels for your text styles, e.g. to group all Verdana text styles as red text styles. The colors are then shown in the Text Style inspector's text style list.

Rozmiar czcionki

Here you define the font size for the current text style. It cannot be smaller than 0.01pt anyway.

Kerning

Define an additional distance between characters, if required. Even negative values are possible.

Fill Color

Select a fill color for the currently choosen font. If the color popup menu doesn't offer your desired color, please define it in the Color inspector first. This is true for all color popup menus in this dialog.

Underlined

Select a color for the underline stroke if desired.

Strikethrough

Select a color for the strikethrough stroke if desired.

Obrysowanie

Select a color for the outline if desired. The outline width is a percentage of the font size. You can even choose between Outline only and Outline and Fill.

Zacienienie

Select a color for the shadow if desired. At this moment, you cannot combine the Outlined and Shadowed style. Define appropriate offsets and a blur radius. A positive x offset moves the shadow to the right, while a positive y offset moves it downwards.

Indeks górny/Indeks dolny

Check one of these text styles if desired. You can even change the vertical baseline offset of the superscript/subscript styles. Only one of these text styles can be choosen at the same time (for obvious reasons).

Font Browser

The font browser shows all available, registered fonts of your Mac OS X system. The left column shows the font families, while you may find various font faces in the right column.

Rozszerzenie

Although not really recommended by typographic purists, you may even expand (or compress) the font widths here. Purists better choose adequate expanded or compressed font faces instead.

Nachylenie

Although not really recommended by typographic purists, you may even skew the font here. Purists better choose adequate oblique font faces instead.
