Mixing Font to Unicode Font

Hello everyone.. need some help here.

I’ve downloaded Florencesans Cond from dafont.com (it says free). I’m using it for my own personal purpose and not for business.

I like the way it looks on my Android phone, perfectly integrated with system and 3rd app like opera mini browser, but apparently it’s not a Unicode font. Someday, I try to mix this font to a Unicode font, then I realized that the layout parameter of florencesans font is 1000 units per em, while the unicode font is 256 units per em, but still I copy paste the gylph to the Unicode font with steps :

  1. I scale the unicode font to 390% (silly logical of mine, 1000/256)
  2. Then I set the general and metrics properties unicode font same to florencesans font
  3. Copy paste the gylph florencesans to unicode font
  4. Export it to .tff , convert it, installed it to my phone
  5. Viola, its about the same

The problem is when I open opera mini web browser, font in the paragraph and spacing between lines in the page is so oversized .. I can’t enjoy reading news or sites with my opera mini browser anymore .. So please, tell me is there any more steps that I had to do?

Many many thanks for the help :slight_smile:

  1. Select all glyphs in the florencesans font, and copy them
  2. Change the funits/em from 1000 to 256
  3. Paste the glyphs back into the same place
  4. Save as a temporary font
  5. Copy and paste the glyphs that you need

If you don’t edit the font metrics of the Unicode font then the line-spacing won’t be changed. Paste the glyphs from the Florencesans font after changing the funits/em to make them the right size for the 256 funits/em Unicode font.

how should i know the right size ? using calculate option ? or using original florencesans?

You do not need to calculate anything.

See my earlier post.

i edited the metrics using calculate option, both using unicode 256 version and florencesans 1000 version.. still, not working :cry:

update.. after trial and error.. i found the problem.. it seems that my Unicode font contains a lot of logos .. it caused the spacing problems on opera mini browser.. i follow those steps again, except this time, i deleted some of that logos.. cause it doesn’t fit on the glyph box.. once again, many many thanks for the solution earlier :slight_smile:
