I have a text where every letter will be set in a different font, size and style.(It is an experiment ;-)
I am not sure yet about the exact text, so i wonder if there is an option for applying the style and sizes for each letter and change the text afterwards.
I hope it is clear what i want, for example normaly you set a text and you can apply different styles to the text and it stays the same. I want to set a style and apply different texts to it without changing the style.

not in ilustrator you don't. sort that stuf out in InDesign or Quark. Illustrator does what it says on the box.

ok charcter styles..
but they just apply one sort of style to the text don't they?
I want to use many different fonts for each letter and apply the same to different texts.
Is that possible somehow?

so you mean that you could paste in text, apply the style and for instance, all the letter a's would be in say helvetica?
the answer is no, the only way I can imagine doing it is to create your own 'font' in fontographer or whatever by simply pasting in characters from the various fonts you want to use.

It does not have to be that all letter a's are one font and the b's another, but it would also be ok if it was like that.
I just meant that for example the first letter is helvetica the second univers etc..
I am just playing around with the nested paragraph styles, wich could be an answer, but still lot of work to nest about 400 styles...(and i dont know if indesign does handle so many.
But rasko:
The fontographer thing is a very clever idea, i think i'll give it a try!
Thank you

in Quarkxpress, you can do find and replace and apply stylesheets to certain letters, haven't tried this yet in indesign, but if you have specific typefaces for certain letters, then set a style and do a find and replace and apply a stylesheet at the same time.
