  • Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division: Second Judicial Department
    Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division: Second Judicial Department A GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR FORMATTING COMPUTER-GENERATED BRIEFS, WITH EXAMPLES The rules concerning the formatting of briefs are contained in CPLR 5529 and in § 1250.8 of the Practice Rules of the Appellate Division. Those rules cover technical matters and therefore use certain technical terms which may be unfamiliar to attorneys and litigants. The following glossary is offered as an aid to the understanding of the rules. Typeface: A typeface is a complete set of characters of a particular and consistent design for the composition of text, and is also called a font. Typefaces often come in sets which usually include a bold and an italic version in addition to the basic design. Proportionally Spaced Typeface: Proportionally spaced type is designed so that the amount of horizontal space each letter occupies on a line of text is proportional to the design of each letter, the letter i, for example, being narrower than the letter w. More text of the same type size fits on a horizontal line of proportionally spaced type than a horizontal line of the same length of monospaced type. This sentence is set in Times New Roman, which is a proportionally spaced typeface. Monospaced Typeface: In a monospaced typeface, each letter occupies the same amount of space on a horizontal line of text. This sentence is set in Courier, which is a monospaced typeface. Point Size: A point is a unit of measurement used by printers equal to approximately 1/72 of an inch.

  • Prepared for Leslie Cabarga's "Learn Fontlab Fast" Book* PC Truetype
    Prepared for Leslie Cabarga's "Learn FontLab Fast" book* PC TrueType / OpenType TT (Also known as: Data-fork TrueType, Windows TrueType, TrueType-flavored OpenType, TTF) Pros: Works on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. May contain up to 65,535 characters, supports Unicode and can contain OpenType layout features, making the format suitable for multilingual fonts, non-latin fonts and advanced typographic features (such as automatic ligatures, small caps). TrueType hinting allows precise control in small screen sizes, can also contain bitmaps. Can include embedding rights information defining whether or not the font may be attached to electronic documents. Cons: Does not work on Mac OS 8/9; not completely cross-platform. May cause output problems on ten-year-old PostScript output and printing devices. The designer usually needs to convert the outlines from beziers which may introduce slight changes in the shape. When converted back to beziers (e.g. in Illustrator), the resulting curves have superfluous points. Manual TrueType hinting is laborious to create. The multilingual and advanced typography features only work with new OpenType-savvy applications, otherwise just the basic character set is available. For font families, requires two versions of the family name within each font: the first may contain any number of styles; the second "mini-family" may contain only four styles. OpenType PS (Also known as: OpenType-CFF, PostScript-flavored OpenType, OTF) Pros: Works on Windows, Linux, Mac OS 8.6, 9, and OS X. Uses the bezier curve system preferred by designers and used in drawing apps such as Illustrator and Freehand so letterforms can be drawn precisely and outlines need not be converted.

OpenType enhances the TrueType and PostScript technologies and extends their capabilities. Most fonts today are released in the OpenType format, now considered the industry standard. The resulting new generation of UBSHeadline and Frutiger fonts offers improved typographic and layout features. 1. What is OpenType? Frutiger is not always Frutiger Due to the wide variety of Frutiger styles available world- A single font format wide, be sure to install and use only the client-specific UBS OpenType provides a single universally acceptable font licensed version of this font.

  • Steps to Install Your New Font
    Steps to Install your new font: • Go to Control Panel. Click on your Start button and select Settings > Control Panel (or Open My Computer then Control Panel) • Go to your Fonts folder. Open (Doubleclick) the Fonts folder. • Go to Install New Font. Select File | Install New Font. Check the Font FAQ if your Install New Font command is missing. • Find the directory/folder with the font(s) you want to install. Use the Folders: and Drives: windows to move to the folder on your hard drive, a disk, or CD where your new TrueType or OpenType fonts are located. • Find the font(s) you want to install. TrueType fonts have the extension .TTF and an icon that is a dog-eared page with two overlapping Ts and require only this one file for installation and use. OpenType fonts have the extension .TTF or .OTF and a little icon with an O and require only this one file for installation and use. Highlight the TrueType or OpenType font to install from the List of fonts window. • Install the font(s). Click OK. This completes your TrueType or OpenType font installation. Tips: 1. Put Installed Fonts on Your Hard Drive. If you are going to install TrueType or OpenType fonts from a CD be sure the 'Copy fonts to folder' box is checked; otherwise, fonts may not be available to use if the CD is not in the drive at all times. 2. Use the Right Fonts for Windows. There are slight differences in the TrueType fonts designed for each OS therefore Mac and Windows users cannot share TrueType fonts.

  • Generating Postscript Names for Fonts Using Opentype Font Variations
    bc Adobe Enterprise & Developer Support Adobe Technical Note #5902 Generating PostScript Names for Fonts Using OpenType Font Variations Version 1.0, September 14 2016 1 Introduction This document specifies how to generate PostScript names for OpenType variable font instances. Please see the OpenType specification chapter, OpenType Font Variations Overview for an overview of variable fonts and related terms, and the chapter fvar - Font Variations Table for the terms specific to this discussion. The ‘fvar’ table optionally allows for PostScript names for named instances of an OpenType variations fonts to be specified. However, the PostScript names for named instances may be omitted, and there is no mechanism to provide a PostScript name for instances at arbitrary points in the variable font design space. This document describes how to generate PostScript names for such cases. This is useful in several workflows. For the foreseeable future, arbitrary instances of a variable font must be exported as a non- variable font for legacy applications and for printing: a PostScript name is required for this. The primary goal of the document is to provide a standard method for providing human readable PostScript names, using the instance font design space coordinates and axis tags. A secondary goal is to allow the PostScript name for a variable font instance to be used as a font reference, such that the design space coordinates of the instance can be recovered from the PostScript name. However, a descriptive PostScript name is possible only for a limited number of design axes, and some fonts may exceed this. For such fonts, a last resort method is described which serves the purpose of generating a PostScript name, but without semantic content.

Welcome to Tips & Tricks for the Equation Editor or MathType User. This session is not designed to teach you how to use Microsoft Equation Editor or MathType. We assume you already know how to use these products. In the session, you will learn how to use these products better and more efficiently. We will be using Microsoft Word today, but MathType works very well with other word processors (such as WordPerfect and AppleWorks), presentation software (such as PowerPoint and Corel Presentations), web page-authoring software (such as FrontPage), as well as most other software. I hope many of your needs will be addressed in this session but if you need help in the future, the following sources are available: 9 Equation Editor Tips & Tricks – Even if you’re a MathType user, our Equation Editor Tips & Tricks will likely have several tips you can use. Access the tips from our home page: http://www.dessci.com.
