In setting fonts in the Sketch Editor you may also get the choice Vertical which will cause the font to be displayed vertically starting from the bottom.
Size (Points) lets you set the size of the font. You can type in a size or click on the arrow to the right to choose a size. Vensim does not support font sizes larger than 99 points.
Color lets you select the color for the font. Click on the button then click on the color you want.
Example displays the currently selected font and attributes. The name is also used to indicate if the font is a screen font, a printer font or a True Type font. True Type fonts will usually give a good match between the appearance of the font on the screen and the appearance when printed.
