Intro
Apply Typeface can be used as a Style Behaviour to dynamically set the typeface used within a Text Shape in a procedural way.

- All - Use this setting when using an Apply Typeface with a Behaviour. See Create > Demo Scenes > Text > Variable Font.

- Line - Fill each line within the string defined by Specific Indices.
- Word - Fill each word within the string defined by Specific Indices.
- Character - Fill each character within the string defined by Specific Indices.
Specific Indices - When the Mode is set to Specific Indices, set the indices to select. Values should be comma ,
