Font family on Windows

Mike Thompson · Post by **Mike Thompson** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 2:05 pm

I have three TT fonts with a single font family name "Mike Hebrew" and three subfamilies names "Italic", "Bold" and "Regular". All three have been named using the Autonaming wizard.

I am having a lot of problems with getting them installed properly. I delete the old version from WINDOWS/FONTS by right click then [Delete] after which I use the FCP [Font]->[Install..].

After this I see what happened by:
a) Double click on the installed font
b) The Font Thing
c) Use the Hebrew word processor DavkaWriter
d) Open the installed font with FCP

Results are mixed. Sometimes all three different fonts are displayed but often they are appear the same e.g. all Italic.
Only method (d) shows what is actually in the files.

I have cleaned my machine with Ad-Aware and rebooted several times.
Help!
Mike

Did you follow the manual when you changed the font type?

Hello Mike,

I had the very same problem and it was solved with help from Bhikkhu Pesala and Erwin Denissen. See this this thread:

viewtopic.php?t=376&highlight=bold

The problem was that the naming fields have to be exactly the same in the places pointed out by Erwin. I had introduced a wayward space.

Hope you solve it.

Joe.

Thanks Erwin. I did not know the Manual existed - I was using
the somewhat inadequate Help.

I don't see any download for the Manual on the downloads page.

The manual contains the same content as the help file and is included with the latest (v4.5) download.
