Text Widgets simply show text. The options shown will likely be familiar to everyone, but we should offer a couple notes:

• By default only the Standard Font is offered, but you can import any TTF font file you like to use instead. This font will be included in your package. If you ever want to go back to the standard font, choose, “Nothing” from the “Select Resource” window.
• Bold and Italic will only work with the Standard Font. If you import your own font(s), you’ll need to import separate font files for any styles you wish to use. 
• The Alignment controls and Wrap Text Automatically option will only work if you’ve first defined the width of the text widget. You can do this either by adding a Border Image with a fixed size, or adding a layout box with a value in the Override Width field. See Borders and Layout Boxes for details.
  • If you wish to center text within a Canvas or Panel, consider using the alignment controls on the Panel or a Layout Box on the Canvas.

In the example above, the Center alignment on the Text keys off the size defined by Override Width on the text’s Layout Box.
