Anyone setting type can increase its readability by making manual adjustments to alignment. Making things “look right” typographically, often requires overriding mathematical accuracy with optical correctness. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/display-typography/display-margins-centering_5142013 5:37:39 AM Mon, 13 May 2013 20:27:36 GMT http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/page-not-displaying You can quickly troubleshoot problems with your website by verifying the following: Have you assigned your fonts to their CSS selectors using the Fonts.com Web Fonts portal stylesheet page? Did you copy ALL of the necessary code (either Javascript or non-Javascript) from the Fonts.com Web Fonts portal publish page? Have you embedded the code string (either Javascript or non-Javascript) generated by the Fonts.com Web Fonts portal in the proper place(s) on your Web pages’ HTML code page? http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/page-not-displaying_5132013 1:27:36 PM Mon, 13 May 2013 18:32:55 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/display-typography/spacing-display-type When you purchase or work with a professional quality font, your assumption might be that the spacing won’t require manual adjusting. However, display settings occasionally need a bit of finessing to look their best, as built-in spacing and kerning cannot be flawless over a wide range of large sizes. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/display-typography/spacing-display-type_5132013 11:32:55 AM Mon, 13 May 2013 18:15:52 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/display-typography/reverse-display-type Reversing type – that is, placing light or white type against a darker background – is a useful way to add emphasis as well as to help develop a strong typographic hierarchy. A reverse headline can provide an inviting, eye-catching point of entry, signaling the viewer to “look here” before moving on to the other elements. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/display-typography/reverse-display-type_5132013 11:15:52 AM Mon, 13 May 2013 18:01:46 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-anatomy/initial-letters An initial letter is a large first letter of a paragraph, set in a decorative or graphic way. It offers a visual cue that can signify the beginning of an entire work, such as a book or article, as well as chapters or significant paragraphs within a work. Initial letters liven up a page by adding color, emphasis, and typographic interest. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-anatomy/initial-letters_5132013 11:01:46 AM Mon, 13 May 2013 16:36:51 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/newsletters Subscribe to the Fonts.com newsletter to receive information about the latest typefaces and foundries released to Fonts.com and our Fonts.com Web Font service.

Please back up all your fonts to prevent Replacement charges! Step 1: WinZip You will need WinZip to unzip any PC Compressed files. If you don't have WinZip, you can download the free Evaluation version at http://www.winzip.com. Please do this before going to step 2. If you are not sure how to use WinZip, use the Help button on the WinZip once that it is installed. Step 2: Adobe Type Manager (ATM) You will need ATM, version 4.1 or later, to install OpenType fonts on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT. If you do not have ATM 4.1, a lite version is available at no charge. You can download it from the related assets section on the right hand side of this page. Note: If you are not sure if you have ATM or not, you can check your system by going to the windows explorer icon and follow this path if you have it. http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/install-windows-opentype-fonts_5102013 1:08:23 PM Fri, 10 May 2013 20:03:01 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-tips http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-tips_5102013 1:03:01 PM Fri, 10 May 2013 20:02:08 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-history/early-evolution-of-roman-letters-1 Roman capital letters are monumental in two senses. They were frequently inscribed on monuments. And, they are large and formal, bestowing importance on words and dates cut into the stone. Roman capitals are elegant, commanding attention and respect. This “typographic attitude” was suitable for graphic communication intended to last for millennia; it was less appropriate for everyday communication that included business records, technical documentation, literature, social correspondence, and even shopping lists. All of these documents were as much a part of ancient Roman culture as they are of ours. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-history/early-evolution-of-roman-letters-1_5102013 1:02:08 PM Fri, 10 May 2013 20:01:22 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-anatomy/capital-letters The first “writing” was probably actual objects. A flower left outside someone’s hut sent a tender message, a pile of rocks along a trail foretold danger. Very gradually, these tokens and signs evolved into marks. The marks, which began writing as we think of it, had to be simple and well formed. They needed to be recognizable symbols of the same meaning over and over again. From its earliest beginnings, writing was an art. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-anatomy/capital-letters_5102013 1:01:22 PM Thu, 09 May 2013 16:46:53 GMT http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/websites-per-account You can use Fonts.com Web Fonts on unlimited websites with your account. http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/websites-per-account_592013 9:46:53 AM Mon, 29 Apr 2013 18:49:38 GMT http://www.fonts.com/info/affiliates/best-practices http://www.fonts.com/info/affiliates/best-practices_4252013 8:22:55 AM Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:57:48 GMT http://www.fonts.com/de/web-fonts/master-plan http://www.fonts.com/de/web-fonts/master-plan_4242013 9:44:40 AM Fri, 19 Apr 2013 19:37:16 GMT http://www.fonts.com/de/browse/font-tools Learn about and download font utilities and plug-ins.

The alphabet evolved, with no clear-cut stages in the development of letterforms. This, however, changed dramatically after Charlemagne ascended the throne of the Holy Roman Empire in 771. One of the accomplishments of his reign is the Carolingian minuscule – the forerunner of our modern small letters. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-anatomy/lowercase-letters_3122013 4:57:12 AM Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:52:12 GMT http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/web-fonts-work-only-in-firefox If the fonts are only working in Firefox, this may indicate that the domain listed in your Web font project are not permitted to receive the Web fonts.

They have existed since the days of Johannes Gutenberg, considered by many people to be the inventor of typography as we know it. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-anatomy/swash-and-alternate-characters_12192012 1:59:25 PM Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:44:46 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-anatomy/weight-and-proportion Weight, proportion and texture are three main characteristics that distinguish typefaces from one another. Stroke widths range from very light to extremely heavy; letter shapes range from very condensed to exceptionally wide. Some typefaces also have distinctive surface textures. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-anatomy/weight-and-proportion_12192012 1:44:46 PM Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:40:54 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-anatomy/text-v-display The best text typefaces are easy to read in long blocks of copy. They do not call much attention to themselves and have been designed to perform best between 6-point and 14-point. Conversely, display typefaces are used to entice a reader into text copy, to create a mood or feeling, or to announce important information. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-anatomy/text-v-display_12192012 1:40:54 PM Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:34:25 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/text-typography/length-column-width Line length and column width are two typographic terms that are closely related. Line length is normally expressed by the number of characters or words per line. Column width is measured in units – be it inches, points, pixels, etc. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/text-typography/length-column-width_12192012 1:34:25 PM Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:33:13 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/making-type-choices/selecting-display-type-getting-started Type set larger than 14 point is usually considered to be “display” type, whether it appears on a billboard or poster, a book jacket or other packaging, or an advertisement in a magazine. Also known as headline type, its objective is to attract and hold a viewer’s attention. Display type can also preview the mood or set the tone of a piece. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/making-type-choices/selecting-display-type-getting-started_12192012 1:33:13 PM Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:27:03 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/making-type-choices/serif-v-sans-for-text Until several years ago, when it came to setting text copy, sans serif typefaces were the typographic underdog. Some experts still advocate against using them smaller than 10 point. The criticism of sans serif typefaces for text copy falls into two general areas, both concerning ease of reading. First, many typographers have maintained that serifs help to guide the reader’s eye across the page. This would be true if the eye moved across a page in one smooth sweep. It’s been proven, however, that we jump from one series of words to another, in what are called saccadic movements – and serifs have no effect on this way of reading. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/making-type-choices/serif-v-sans-for-text_12192012 1:27:03 PM Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:22:30 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-families/about-typeface-families http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-families/about-typeface-families_12192012 1:22:30 PM Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:19:57 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-4/influential-personalities/gutenbergs-invention Many people think of Johann Gutenberg (c. 1398–1468) as the “father of printing.” And, in a certain sense, he is. However, he is not the inventor of the printing press, or of printing ink, or even of moveable type. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-4/influential-personalities/gutenbergs-invention_12192012 1:19:57 PM Mon, 10 Dec 2012 18:28:31 GMT http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/wildcards-in-subdomains An astersisk followed by a period (*.) can be used as a wildcard when adding domains to your project. For example, if you would like to use Web fonts on example.com, abc.example.com and def.example.com, simply specify *.example.com as your domain. This will address the two aforementioned subdomains and any others that are used. Subdomains can also be added to your project individually. However, you must specify either the root domain with the wildcard (*.example.com) or the subdomain directly (abc.example.com) in order for Web fonts to display on a subdomain. http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/wildcards-in-subdomains_12102012 10:28:31 AM Thu, 06 Dec 2012 20:41:44 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/making-type-choices/selecting-display-type-factors-to-consider The process of selecting a display typeface for a new project should begin with a bit of fact gathering that precedes the actual font search. Whether you are designing a stand-alone piece — such as an invitation or announcement — or part of an ongoing campaign, learning as much as possible about its intended use before you start will help narrow your typeface selection. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/making-type-choices/selecting-display-type-factors-to-consider_1262012 12:41:44 PM Thu, 29 Nov 2012 22:00:28 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-anatomy/italics http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-anatomy/italics_11292012 2:00:28 PM Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:43:37 GMT http://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/developers/api/list-all-filter-values Integrate, leverage and build upon the Fonts.com Web Fonts service through a host of developer solutions. http://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/developers/api/list-all-filter-values_11262012 9:43:37 AM Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:43:07 GMT http://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/developers/api/list-filters Integrate, leverage and build upon the Fonts.com Web Fonts service through a host of developer solutions. http://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/developers/api/list-filters_11262012 9:43:07 AM Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:40:55 GMT http://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/developers/api/list-filter-values Integrate, leverage and build upon the Fonts.com Web Fonts service through a host of developer solutions. http://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/developers/api/list-filter-values_11262012 9:40:55 AM Fri, 02 Nov 2012 19:30:06 GMT http://www.fonts.com/info/services Font Services from Fonts.com and Monotype Imaging http://www.fonts.com/info/services_1122012 12:30:06 PM Tue, 30 Oct 2012 19:22:26 GMT http://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/developers Integrate, leverage and build upon the Fonts.com Web Fonts service through a host of developer solutions. http://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/developers_10302012 12:22:26 PM Tue, 30 Oct 2012 19:16:34 GMT http://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/developers/request-api-key http://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/developers/request-api-key_10302012 12:16:34 PM Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:06:55 GMT http://www.fonts.com/info/services/corporate-id-fonts/nike http://www.fonts.com/info/services/corporate-id-fonts/nike_10302012 11:06:55 AM Mon, 29 Oct 2012 15:01:14 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-families/didone The term Didone – a combination of Didot and Bodoni – aptly describes Neoclassical (or Modern) typefaces.

Black type on white paper, right? It’s true that much of our daily contact with type is in books, newspapers and magazines, in which text is predominantly set in black ink on white (or light-colored) paper. Black type against a light background is the easiest combination to read. It’s also the least expensive to print. But don’t assume color and type don’t mix; on the contrary, color used well can add focus and energy to your message. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/type-and-color/type-and-color_672012 5:20:50 AM Wed, 06 Jun 2012 19:39:53 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/albertina-news-gothic Albertina was a typeface ahead of its time. It was in the early 1960s when designer Chris Brand, an accomplished calligrapher, aspired to draw a typeface based on the principles of calligraphy. Unfortunately, typesetting machines of that era put many restrictions on designers. Characters had to be drawn within a very coarse grid, which also defined their spacing. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/albertina-news-gothic_662012 12:39:53 PM Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:37:08 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/itc-bauhaus-itc-avant-garde-gothic ITC Bauhaus was inspired by the Universal typeface designed in 1925 by Herbert Bayer. The prototypes for the face were created by him while he was a professor at the famed Bauhaus in Dessau, Germany. In the 1970s, many typefaces were designed based on Bayer’s original lettershapes. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/itc-bauhaus-itc-avant-garde-gothic_662012 6:37:08 AM Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:37:02 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti Browse our list of For Your Typographic Information articles, covering font usage, technology, format features, and situational typesetting. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti_662012 6:37:02 AM Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:36:00 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-families/ampersand Like many letters in our current alphabet, the ampersand probably began as a convenience. The Latin word et (meaning “and”) was first written as two distinct letters, but over time the ‘e’ and ‘t’ were combined into a ligature of sorts. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-families/ampersand_662012 6:36:00 AM Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:26:41 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typefaces/scripts Scripts offer a wide variety of moods and characteristics, ranging from formal to casual. When used appropriately, a script face can add the perfect touch to a project. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typefaces/scripts_662012 6:26:41 AM Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:42:14 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/itc-clearface-and-itc-resavska Under license from ATF, in 1978 ITC commissioned designer Victor Caruso to re-draw the Clearface family to current standards. Caruso’s work adapts Bentons’ original design into a consistent family that is suitable for both text and display settings. Slightly condensed, ITC Clearface is ideal when space is at a premium. It features small (almost slab) serifs, a large x-height and minor contrast in stroke weight. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/itc-clearface-and-itc-resavska_662012 5:42:14 AM Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:41:24 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/century-schoolbook-columbus Century Schoolbook’s initial appearance was in a 1920 supplement to American Type Founders’ large type catalog published several years earlier. This was followed by a much more elaborate showing in the company’s famous 1923 typeface catalog. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/century-schoolbook-columbus_662012 5:41:24 AM Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:39:36 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/itc-bookman-itc-tabula ITC Bookman was an instant success when it was first released in 1976. The design was an interpretation of the original Bookman typeface that dates back to the late 1800s. This earliest Bookman was very popular in the early part of the 20th century. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/itc-bookman-itc-tabula_662012 5:39:36 AM Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:36:33 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/itc-cheltenham-itc-tactile The story of ITC Cheltenham Since the family’s release in the early 1900s, “Chelt” (as the old-timers call it) has drawn criticism for being ungainly. But someone – in fact, lots of someones – got hooked on using it, making it one of the most successful typefaces of its day. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/itc-cheltenham-itc-tactile_662012 5:36:33 AM Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:35:21 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/mentor-neo-sans The story of Mentor begins in the early 1970s. It was then that Michael Harvey drew a serif and sans serif alphabet to use for illustrations in his book “Lettering Design.” They were intended to be typical twentieth-century letterforms with no fancy affectations or idiosyncratic details. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/mentor-neo-sans_662012 5:35:21 AM Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:27:58 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/itc-novarese-itc-highlander Aldo Novarese originally designed this typeface for Switzerland's Haas foundry. International Typeface Corporation licensed shortly after its first release and issued the design as ITC Novarese in December of 1979. Novarese is a blend of old and new. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/itc-novarese-itc-highlander_662012 5:27:58 AM Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:27:25 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/times-new-roman-and-albertus In 1929, Stanley Morison, already typographic advisor to Monotype, was also made typographic advisor to The Times of London newspaper. One of his first responsibilities of the latter position was to redesign the newspaper. Several existing typestyles were tried first; but Morison and The Times executive staff found them unsuitable for one reason or another. The decision was then made to create a new, custom, design. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/times-new-roman-and-albertus_662012 5:27:25 AM Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:24:33 GMT http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/masterfont-instructions How to use Masterfont Hebrew fonts http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/masterfont-instructions_662012 5:24:33 AM Tue, 05 Jun 2012 20:21:19 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/galliard-serif-gothic The ITC Galliard story begins with Robert Granjon, a Parisian-born type designer who lived roughly a generation after Claude Garamond. In the 1560s, Granjon labored in Antwerp. Four hundred years later, the punches and matrices he left behind would become the beginnings of Galliard. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/galliard-serif-gothic_652012 1:21:19 PM Tue, 05 Jun 2012 20:20:30 GMT http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/free-service Will Fonts.com always offer a free Web font plan?

A closer look, however, reveals a precise and carefully constructed substructure on which the letters are built. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/garth-graphic-mundo-sans_652012 1:20:09 PM Tue, 05 Jun 2012 20:18:41 GMT http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/itc-fenice-itc-mixage ITC Fenice is a neoclassical design in the tradition of Didot and Bodoni. Its 18th century predecessors exhibit a highly sophisticated design philosophy, and represented the ultimate refinement of the typographic letter at that time. Improving on the Bodoni style has been a challenge to type designers for the past two hundred years. http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typographic-reference/itc-fenice-itc-mixage_652012

Major OS and application developers (Apple, Adobe and Microsoft) have made noteable attempts to accomodate users of older applications and operating systems. However, since their software was developed before the advent of OpenType, the available support is limited. OpenType TT: OpenType TT fonts are backwards-compatible with Windows TrueType fonts, and basic Roman support is available anywhere Windows TrueType fonts are supported: Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/NT 4.0/2000/XP and MacOS X. OpenType TT fonts are not supported in any of the MacOS Classic environments (8.x-9.x). OpenType PS: To get basic Roman support for all OpenType PS fonts, users of Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/NT 4.0 will need to install Adobe Type Manager (ATM) 4.1.2 or ATM Lite, while MacOS Classic (8.x-9.x) users will need to install Adobe Type Manager (ATM) 4.6.2 or ATM Lite.

However, font files are relatively small in size. On average, our Latin fonts range from 40-50KB in size. Also, depending on user settings, a browser will cache a Web font. This means that if a Web font is used on multiple pages, the font file is only downloaded when a visitor views the first page on your website that uses the font and not when viewing subsequent pages that use that font. http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/page-size-increase_2152012 6:32:21 AM Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:30:58 GMT http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/determining-css-selectors If you are editing a personal Web site, then you should already have access to the code, including the CSS selectors, through your HTML code editor. If you are editing a social media or blog site, then that Web site should provide you with an HTML editing tool, usually as part of the user interface. In most cases you will need to manually parse through the code to find the CSS selectors, but they are usually found near the beginning of the HTML code. Some of the more popular CSS selectors to look for are: H1, H2, div, body, bodycopy, header and footer. http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/determining-css-selectors_2152012 6:30:58 AM Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:07:24 GMT http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/display-differences-between-browsers Due to different rendering methods of browsers, fonts may appear slightly differently from one browser to another. http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/display-differences-between-browsers_2152012 6:07:24 AM Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:06:08 GMT http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/web-fonts-for-browsers Font data may be transmitted in EOT, WOFF, SVG or TrueType® formats.
