I have a font in two styles - regular and bold. Now I need something between these styles - like medium.
The font already exists and I wonder how to insert it to the existing font as new style.
Is this possible? And how can I do that. If I start “new font”, there is only regular, italic, bold and bold italic.
Hope there is a solution for my problem (and a "How to … )
You can type the Font Subfamily in the Font Properties dialogue instead of selecting one of the four standard styles from the drop list. Check out my free Kabala font, which has eight type styles.
All of the styles in the same font family will then appear in your application’s formatting dialogue like this in PagePlus X8.
Thanks for help.
But I don’t find this “Font Properties” window.
Mine looks like this:
I found it under Font/Properties in the menu.
I’m using Version 6.5. Maybe this is the cause?
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Your post didn’t show up in New Posts for some reason.
Yes, that version is quite old now. In version 6.5 the font subfamily is found on the Format menu, under Naming. If you examine my Kabala fonts you can see how to name them.
OK. I change the name the way your screenshot shows.
Erased the former version and installed in line, first regular, bold and then the semi-bold version.
But the fonts appears like this.
In the windows font folder it appears like this. It seems to be correct.
Two questions.
Why does not show up the semi-bold dialog?
Would it help to upgrade to the new version. If it is so, I would do.
To be honest I am not sure what the problem is. It might be the application that you’re using.
I think the Unique font Identifier should be “President Semi-bold:Version 1.0” not “President Medium:Version 1.0”
If that doesn’t work, perhaps it’s time to upgrade, or wait for an expert reply from Erwin. He’s out of the office at the moment.
It seems you forgot to also adjust the naming fields for the other languages. Most important in your case seems German. It is far easier to use the latest version. That way you also support are efforts to made FontCreator better.
Thanks.
I guess you’re right. What bothers me, is that the german fields in the original font is totally empty.
What do I have to put in? The german word for “Bold” is “Fett”, and “semi-bold” is “halb fett”
@ erwin
Shure I will support you, and buy the upgrade. I didn’t in the past, because I use the software very seldom. :wink
After that I will contact you again. Perhaps it would be unnecessary anyway
I upgraded the software. Erased the font as good as possible.
But if I try to install the the font, it fails with the Information that the font allready exists.
How can I remove the font complete (I don’t find it in the fontfolder, anyway the windowtext say 
)
Here are the properties of the three versions. I guess now it should be OK, or?
Try rebooting to make Windows update its font registry. Even after uninstalling fonts with MainType I sometimes see an error when trying to generate the font again from FontCreator that the font already exists, try exporting to another location. Rebooting fixes that issue.
I did that anyway, but I think I have a lot of different problems.
The greatest is that I use COREL X4. It doesn’t supports the fonts right, because therein is no option for “semi-bold” 
I tried it with Photoshop Elements 11 - there I can choose each version without problems.
To go around I exported the fonts as ttf, but it won’t work either.
Could it be a solution to rename the semi-bold version and save with a totally different name?
And I don’t find out how to install a font in a different folder as the windows/font folder.
Easiest way would be to create a new Font Family, President Semi-bold, setting the subfamily as regular.
OK.
Thank you for your help.
I ordered the new version of COREL DRAW X7 which supports the new font features anyway.
Unfortunately my plotter plug-in doesn’t supports X7 
, but that’s another story. The circle will keep on turning. 
Bye
