1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • activating a typographic attribute adjustment mode in response to detecting an input when a cursor is over a region of selected text or over a text insertion point on a display,wherein text characters are rendered on the display based on stored typographic attributes within a memory;

    receiving an indication of movement of the cursor across the display while the typographic attribute adjustment mode is active,wherein the movement begins at an arbitrary point within the region of selected text or begins at the text insertion point;

    in response to receiving the indication of movement of the cursor across the display while the typographic attribute adjustment mode is active, modifying one or more of the stored typographic attributes for one or more of the text characters,wherein said modifying depends on an amount of the movement; and

    re-rendering the one or more text characters according to the modified one or more of the stored typographic attributes.
