[Chimera-users] How to change font of labels

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Barry,

   To change the label color use menu

     Actions / Color / All Options...

and choose the Color Applies To "atom labels" option to color just the 
labels of the selected atoms.  Then click on the color you want.  To 
adjust the font size use menu entry

     Favorites / Preferences

choose Category "Background", and you can adjust the Label font size 
there.  All atom labels have to have the same size.

   There are also "2d" labels that aren't attached to the atoms under

     Tools / Utilities / 2D Labels

and those can be independently sized and colored.  But they don't move 
when you rotate your molecule.  Can be useful for making presentation 
images though.
