Windows substitutes (every known script font shipping with a Microsoft product I did a text extraction from their drop-down list) multiple alternate forms for font names may not be necessary For the German lower-case diacritical marks, all Headline Types complements contain alternative integrated accents which allow the compact setting of lower-case headlines.As many readers will be aware, for some months I have attempted something unorthodox in screen typography – the use of script fonts for headlines.Įverything I publish is standards-compliant, of course, but this personal Weblog only looks right in Mac OS X, since the first font-family I specify is Zapfino, also used in the graphical page header.īut what fonts does one specify so that nearly every visitor using a conventional browser sees a script font? Boy, has this been a problem.įor designers (most of whom will have Zapfino installed, save for the Mac OS 9 cohort these are for amusement purposes only, really) For a number of Bodytypes, hairlines and serifs were thickened or the whole typeface was adjusted to meet the optical requirements for setting type in small sizes. For the Bodytypes, fine spaces were created which prevented the smear effect on acute angles in small typesizes. In addition to the adjustment of spacing, there are also adjustments in the design. The kerning tables, as well, have been individualized for each of these type varieties. That of the Headline Types is decidedly more narrow in order to do justice to the requirements of headline typesetting. That of the Bodytypes is adjusted for readability.

The most obvious differentiation can be found in the spacing. One is designed specifically for headline typesetting (SH: Scangraphic Headline Types) and one specifically for text typesetting (SB Scangraphic Bodytypes). Since the release of these fonts most typefaces in the Scangraphic Type Collection appear in two versions.
