Internet Explorer and MS Word understand ligatures but a bug is causing them to display spaced out. IE10 displays ligatures correctly when new and degrades after updates. See the problem explained here
I'm designing a font family of nine weights and when I try it on MS Word here comes the problem. I know MS Word isn't the best typographic program but there are some people that use it and deserve quality on fonts.
The problem happen only in the thinnest style and consist in the following:
As you can see in small sizes the MS Word expand the character shapes and the real proportions aren't showed.
If anybody can help me I apreciate it very much.
Thank you in advance,
We've developed a couple of fonts in FL 5, generating OTFs.
In MS Word the descenders glyphs get clipped on screen as shown in the below picture. I've played around with the WinAscent and Typo values but can't get it to stop. Word 2003 and 2010.
Is this just how Word works? Is there anything that can avoid this?
I've got an essay which has been written in MS Word and I'm trying to transfer it into Indesign for aesthetic purposes. I'm not too concerned with re-setting the type however I have a number of references in the copy which are linked to footnotes. Is there any way of exporting those references to Indesign so that they are still linked to the relevant text?
I am using Fontlab to create a font family; there is a regular, bold, and expanded typeface. I have installed the font on a windows machine (not my choice ugh), and it does run properly in MS Word (surprise, note sarcasm). I am only given the Expanded version as an option in MS Word. It defaults to that when I select the font. If I try to manually change it, it gives me Time New Roman, but calls the other fonts Regular, and Bold. It does however run fine in the Adobe Suite, CS2 (what a shock, note sarcasm)
I have examined several MS fonts and I am using the exact settings (with my font names of course) under basic font name panel. I am literally creating the same naming convention and settings for each of the three fonts. Any ideas?
