normal, italic, bold in the same font file
Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2014 6:56 pm
New here. First post. I use Windows.
Some of the font files I install come with multiple files (maybe in a zip file) for normal, italic, bold, and italic bold, and others come with one file. Sometimes when I use the fonts that have been installed with one file, I notice that italic, bold, and italic bold versions exist that I did not install. Does the original file include these, or does Windows create the italic, bold, and italic bold versions from the one normal version?
The font I am creating will have a separate italic font, not just a slanted normal font for the italic version. Will I need a separate file for this? Does the ttf otf file extension matter with this? If I want to create unique normal, italic, bold, and italic bold fonts, can I include them in one file, or do I have to distribute four separate files?
Thank you.
