Yes italic, no regular
Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2017 11:43 am
Okay! I just started working on an antique-style text font, with both a regular and italic version -- I've just barely gotten started with creating the full alphabets for each, but in order to complete those sets I have to "fake" a few characters (because the 16th century source I'm using as a basis doesn't make use of the entire alphabet), and figured I'd do so using bits and pieces from the glyphs that I do have.
So with my two fonts as they are, I went and installed them. When I fire up MainType, I can see both of the fonts there, but then when I fire up Photoshop all I see is the italic version.
Another curious thing, I installed the italic version first, and then went to install the regular. And y'know in FC, when you've installed your font and it gives you that "Enjoy!" message? Well, after installing my regular font, that "Enjoy!" is displayed in my italic font, not the regular.
I seem to recall that I had to set up individual "font identification" in the properties somewhere -- is that what the issue is here, that they're both the same? -- but for the life of me I can't find anything like that anywhere. in any of the tabs there.
In any case, any ideas what's going on here???
