# changeFont(_:)

This action method changes the font of the selection for a rich text object, or of all text for a plain text object.

## Declaration

```swift
func changeFont(_ sender: Any?)
```

## Discussion

Discussion If the receiver doesn’t use the Font panel, this method does nothing. This method changes the font by sending a convert(_:) message to the shared NSFontManager and applying each NSFont returned to the appropriate text. See the NSFontManager class specification for more information on font conversion.
