I want to use the Format Editor to write a conditional formula to change the Font...ie. if {field}=true, then Arial (Western), else Times New Roman (Western). How do I do this?
I can write formulae to change Font Style/Color, but I can't figure out how to change the actual font.
 
What version of CR are you using.

CR8 and above:
Click on the field you want to change and choose Format/Font... Choose the conditional formatting for the font using:
if {{field} = true then "Arial (Western)" else "Times New Roman (Western)"

I just realized...
Are you trying to set a conditional change on a text field you've added, and not on a field from a table. If it's on a text field, you can't set conditional formatting on fonts.
