The checks on the universal profile, documented below, evaluate adherence to the best practices shared among the type design community. Additionally, it also includes the checks from the opentype profile.
Adobe feature syntax allows for the definition of a STAT table. Fonts builtwith a hand-coded STAT table in feature syntax may be built either as staticor variable, but will end up with the same STAT table.
If the set of font files passed in the command line is not all in thesame directory, then we warn the user since the tool will interpret theset of files as belonging to a single family (and it is unlikely thatthe user would store the files from a single family spreadedin several separate directories).
When creating a variable font, the designer must make sure that correspondingpaths have the same start points across masters, as well as that correspondingcomponent shapes are placed in the same order within a glyph across masters.If this is not done, the glyph will not interpolate correctly.
Legacy accents should not be used in accented glyphs. The use of legacyaccents in accented glyphs breaks the mark to mark combining feature thatallows a font to stack diacritics over one glyph. Use combining marksinstead as a component in composite glyphs.
Legacy accents should not have anchors and should have non-zero width.They are often used independently of a letter, either as a placeholderfor an expected combined mark+letter combination in MacOS, or separately.For instance, U+00B4 (ACUTE ACCENT) is often mistakenly used as an apostrophe,U+0060 (GRAVE ACCENT) is used in Markdown to notify code blocks,and ^ is used as an exponential operator in maths.
When OS/2 and hhea vertical metrics match, the same linespacing results onmacOS, GNU+Linux and Windows. Note that fixing this issue in a previouslyreleased font may cause reflow in user documents and unhappy users.
That being said, it is recommended to not include it in the font at all,because discretionary hyphenation should be handled at the level of theshaping engine, not the font. Also, even if present, the software wouldnot display that character.
As of July 2019, Marc Foley observed that ttfautohint assigns cvt valuesto transformed glyphs as if they are not transformed and the result isthey render very badly, and that vttLib does not support flipped components.
The nbspace is used to replace the space character in multiple situations indocuments; such as the space before punctuation in languages that do that. Itavoids the punctuation to be separated from the last word and go to next line.
I have adobe Univers LT Std font purchased and installed on my PC, but there is a problem when I try to use it on the webpage. The font has otf format. I noticed that browsers use different font-family names for this font. FireFox 25.0 seems to use OT Family name (Univers LT Std) as a font-family value, and Chrome 30 uses PS font name (UniversLTStd). So I ended up writing my CSS like this:
The thing is most of the times the alternative fonts is disturbing the primary or high priority font. So, removing it will definitely work. May it's not the best practice. Most of the times I've faced this problem, removing the alt font makes it work.
All you showed in your image of the dev tools is that "html, body, ..." etc. have that font set, but you haven't checked what the effective font is. You should check the "Computed" tab and see what font is displayed there, if you want to "check which font is applied".
Well, the only thing I can think of is that the Pacifico font is not available for whatever reason. Did you check the Console tab to see if there are errors on loading the font? Did you check the Sources tab to see if is included there?
We've recently changed the fonts we use for all of our company collateral. We are changing from an old, outdated TT file set of Helvetica Neue to the current OT family that Linotype offers. Same face, different font files.
Every * little * thing * we publish uses these fonts and now I have the problem of updating tens of thousands of native files with the new font links. Is there a way universally update in InDesign and Illustrator so that my native files using font set A automatically update to font set B? I don't want to loose hours of my life clicking around in individual files to relink everything.
I've made a new version. Now the user can prepare a list of the fonts to be changed, say in Excel (optionally), and save it as CSV-file which will be used by the script, or you can edit it directly in the CSV-file using a plain text editor like Notepad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac).
I hope you work with a logical build up Paragraph and Character styles with the very same name in every document. Import these styles from a clean source document and overwrite the existing styles. Otherwise, you have to do the hard work, document by document with find and replace font, and replace them.
For InDesign documents you can use Type>Find Font... (not Find/Change) which lets you change a document's fonts with the option of updating any styles that use the font with one click. It is certainly scriptable and one likely exists, so ask in the scripting forums.
In the future I'm going to make a more user friendly version so the user could prepare a list of the fonts to be changed, say in Excel (optionally), and save it as CSV-file which will be used by the script. But so far you have to make minor edits to the script:
Another, maybe safer, script strategy would be modify the find and change script to be a startup script with no save line. So it would check docs on open for the old Helevetica and if an instance exists, make the change and throw up a warning dialog. Then it would be up to the user to check the file before saving.
Ignoring all the wonderful advise offered by other contributors to this thread, you should be aware that just because the name Helvetica Neue is the same, you cannot assume that the font metrics and the encodings are the same.
Differences in encodings between the old and new fonts may result in the wrong characters and/or the .notdef glyph (the box with the X in it) displaying and printing after you actually do the substitution.
I tried to recreate your problem as close as possible: exported T1 version of the Gotham-Medium font, installed it, created a test file with par and char styles and local formatting using the font. Then I removed the font so it became missing. In CC 2018 (Windows), the problem occurs in the last part of the script which uses find-replace text feature to replace fonts in locally formatted text (no issues with par and char styles). I can replace a missing font in UI but can't do the same by script.
Also, I think it would be possible to rework the script using Marc's approach to handle missing fonts: get the list of missing fonts, loop through the all text style ranges in all stories and replace them according to the 'replacement table'.
I wrote a fairly complex script for the New York Times last year to deal with all these issues. Like you, there were converting a large amount of ancient templates, and needed the fonts updated to their latest versions in all those templates, and we had this crazy thing that no matter what, some fonts just wouldn't get replaced.
In the end, the solution was to get the script to export each file to IDML, crack it open, modify the font names there, re-zip, and then change the paragraph and character styles. And even that required some extra steps in the middle.
Ultimately, though, we managed to get the whole thing to work... The end result was a Mac droplet -- whenever an old file needed to be updated, it would be dragged onto the droplet, and after a few moments would open in InDesign with all the fonts replaced (they preferred that to batch-modifying all the old docs, although both approached are equally valid).

NC State logotype files are font-independent. The prescribed Univers fonts do not need to be loaded on your system, and no license is needed. The PNG files of the NC State brick for Web uses are available in several sizes, from the smallest allowable to the largest. The EPS files have been created as line-art vector files and are the only logos that should ever be used for print because vector files will print cleanly at any size. The JPG logos should only be used for PowerPoint or Microsoft Office documents.
Icons can be changed to any color in NC State's color palette. Either place a white icon on a field of color, or convert an icon's color for use on a white background. Only use one color per icon. Icons should not be altered or combined.
The EPS, PNG and SVG files are available below. For print projects, use the EPS files to ensure that icons print clearly at any size. PNG files should only be used in PowerPoint and Microsoft Office. SVG files are for web purposes.
NOTE: If your existing site was configured to load Univers and Glpyha web fonts using includes from cdn.ncsu.edu, they will be swapped to use the new Roboto-based web fonts on June 12, 2024. You can preemptively switch by swapping out the following URLs within your site's source code.
The NC State brand Utility Bar offers a simple way to connect our thousands of websites and let Web users know where they are at all times.
