Font Forum

MT1 shows the installation status of a selected font. Which attribute of a font does MT1 use to distinguish whether or not the font is the very one installed or a similar font?

If you are looking for, and find, a font which somehow will do what you ask, please will you let us know? I've been pondering this for years and found no answer in fonts. Clearly, if you are looking for a font, then you wish to type using some application. What is this application? If it is Microsof...

Thank you Bhikkhu Pesala. That is excellent. I have a PDF driver but it will not print anything above code point 255 reliably. Which one produced your very welcome file?

I doubt whether *you'll* be missing something Erwin!
I didn't read about it anywhere; I just hoped that someone had found a devilishly clever way of doing it. I'd settle for round-about way .

I think I'm missing something here.
How is it possible to obtain an MS Word document from the option to print the Characters Pane/Toolbar? I can obtain Word documents from font listings by exporting as .rtf files and opening in MS Word but the Characters Pane defeats all attempts I make.

"Same fiddle; different tune." Here are two fonts developed from TUFFYMH4.ttf which was in turn developed from the public domain font of Thatcher Ulrich, namely Tuffy.ttf. TUFFY5.ttf is, I hope, an improved version of TUFFYMH4.ttf. Suggestions and advice from Forum members was duly heeded....

If there was too liberal an application, sharp corners, say where a curved stroke met a straig...

Wow! Very many thanks. That's excellent.

:) Those of us of an impecunious (or maybe just 'mean') nature do not posses these applications. I have MS Word 2000 because it was cheaper bundled with the MS Works 2000 suite! How is it possible to achieve this result in a MS Word table? I cannot get the Table/Formula function to work. This is rel...

Bhikkhu Pesala,

Thanks. That's fine. I'll continue on the same lines. I'm sure it's going to take me "a heck of a lot" longer to do it!

This file, Unicode Font Template.doc, downloads as a .zip file and on extracting gives a .ppp file not a .doc file. It still will not open in PagePlus SE.

Thanks for what you have done anyway. It would indeed be useful if it were a .doc file.

Thanks.

Joe.

Since I haven't sufficient reason for obtaining a premium Desk Top Publishing package, I thought my problem was solved when I discovered the free PagePlusSE. Alas no. PagePlus10 apparently ignores backward compatibility problems and the file Unicode Font Template refuses to open in PagePlusSE. Heigh...

If testimony were required to: illustrate the efficacy, versatility and efficiency of FC5 demonstrate what manner of professional results can be obtained when used by an expert user then surely this is it. Heigh ho! How I wish I............... The subject title proclaims: "My First Proper Font&...
