Set Element Font
When you display an element on a diagram, the text font defaults to a global setting defined from the 'Diagram Appearance' page of the 'Preferences' dialog. You can change this global default setting if you need to. On the diagram, however, you might want to change the font only on a specific element or group of elements, to distinguish them from other elements. You have several options for doing this.
