When you create a multiple master font, the font is available only when the file for which it 
was created is open. To have a multiple master font instance always available for Illustrator 
and other applications, you must first create it in Adobe
® 
Type Manager
®
.
To modify a multiple master font from within Illustrator:
Using the type tool  , select the text that uses a multiple master font. 
Choose Window > Type > MM Design.
Edit the font as described in the documentation included with your multiple 
master font. 
Setting type attributes
The Adobe Illustrator program gives you precise control over type attributes, including 
font, type size, leading, kerning, tracking, baseline shift, horizontal and vertical scale, 
spacing, and letter orientation. You can either set type attributes before you enter new 
type or reset them to change the appearance of existing, selected type. You can also set 
attributes for several type paths and type containers at once, if they are all selected. 
Using the Character palette
You change type attributes using the Character palette. Some of the type attributes also 
have separate submenus or palettes so that you do not have to open the Character or 
Paragraph palette to change only one attribute. In addition, some attributes can be 
changed using keyboard shortcuts. For a complete list of shortcuts, see the Adobe 
Illustrator Quick Reference Card
