  • Bitstream Fonts in May 2005 at Totaling 350 Font Families with a Total of 1357 Font Styles
    Bitstream Fonts in May 2005 at http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream totaling 350 font families with a total of 1357 font styles The former Bitstream typeface libraries consisted mainly of forgeries of Linotype fonts and of ITC fonts. See the list below on the pages 24–29 about the old Bitstream Typeface Library of 1992. The 2005 Bitstream typeface library contains the same forgeries of Linotype fonts as formerly and also the same ITC fonts, but it also includes a lot of new mediocre „rubbish fonts“ (e.g. „Alphabet Soup“, „Arkeo“, „Big Limbo“), but also a few new quality fonts (e.g. „Drescher Grotesk“, „Prima Serif“ etc.). On the other hand, a few old fonts (e.g. „Caxton“) were removed. See the list below on pages 1–23. The typeface collection of CorelDraw comprises almost the entire former old Bitstream typeface library (see the list below on pages 24–29) with the following exceptions: 1. A few (ca. 3) forgeries of Linotype fonts are missing in the CorelDraw font collections, e.g. the fonts „Baskerville No. 2“ (= Linotype Baskerville No. 2), „Italian Garamond“ (= Linotype Garamond Simoncini), and „Revival 555“ (= Linotype Horley Old Style). 2. A lot (ca. 11) of ITC fonts are not contained in the CorelDraw font collections, e.g. „ITC Berkeley Oldstyle“, „ITC Century“, „ITC Clearface“, „ITC Isbell“, „ITC Italia“, „ITC Modern No. 216“, „ITC Ronda“, „ITC Serif Gothic“, „ITC Tom’s Roman“, „ITC Zapf Book“, and „ITC Zapf International“.

PDF viewing software automatically substitutes a font to display text if the font used to create the text is unavailable on the reviewer’s computer. In some cases, font substitution can occur even when the fonts are available. For example, Helvetica or Times are substituted even if available on the reviewer’s computer. Font substitution can affect a document’s appearance and structure, and in some cases it can affect the information conveyed by a document. Font availability is not guaranteed. Font availability to the reviewer is ensured if all fonts are embedded. When fonts are embedded, all characters for the font should be included not just a subset of the fonts being used in the document. Limit fonts to those listed in Table 1. Font embedding does not always solve the problems that occur when a reviewer tries to paste text from a PDF document into another software format. If the font is not available on the reviewer’s computer, font substitution results even if the fonts are embedded.

  • A. Introduction
    Date: Oct. 30, 2011 To: Unicode Technical Committee Subject: Emoji Variation Sequences From: Peter Edberg, with input from Asmus Freytag, Ned Holbrook, Yasuo Kida, Mark Davis, Kat Momoi, Murray Sargent, and Ken Lunde (though I don’t claim that they agree with this document or that it accurately represents their input). A. Introduction As part of encoding the emoji core set for Unicode 6.0, 114 emoji from that core set were mapped to (unified with) existing characters or character sequences from Unicode 5.2 or earlier. The associated document “Unified Emoji Reference” provides more detail on the representation across various systems of these 114 emoji. When these Unicode characters result from text created as emoji, such as e-mail or text messages generated on a Japanese cell phone or via an emoji input palette, users may expect them to be displayed in other contexts using an emoji style similar to the one used when they were created. Such an emoji style usually involves color display, and may sometimes involve other stylistic differences and/or animation. However, since these Unicode characters were in Unicode prior to the emoji additions — with some dating back to Unicode 1.1 — many systems have already supported such characters using a more traditional black-and-white glyph, and users who created documents with characters displayed this way expect them to remain displayed this way (even when interchanged display). For example: For U+2764 HEAVY BLACK HEART (in the Dingbats block) the Unicode charts (and Dingbats fonts) use the first of these glyphs while the other glyphs are used by Japanese cell phones and emoji fonts: These characters may be sent as part of SMS text messages and e-mail subjects where font information is not available, and a given character may be used with both an emoji style and a non-emoji style in the same document.
