![]() ![]() I'm not able to test this on a Mac, and the Windows version is too flakey and crash-prone to test, but this should work: RoboFont is also built beautifully in python, so you can execute your own custom scripts if you need. Once you edit the info, simply type Command(⌘) G or choose File.The 2nd tab is OpenType which allows you direct access to the nameTable so you can edit all of that info including style names. The first tab is General which includes an input box for Family Name.It'll slidedown an editor with a few more tabs. For each window, click on the tab Font Info (3rd tab from the left in the toolbar).Who knows, maybe you'll get hooked and buy a license. For this purpose, the 15-day free trial may be all you need. ![]() The purchase price on RoboFont is pretty steep, but really, the software is aimed at people who are drawing and editing their own fonts. I recently had to do exactly what you're asking with my copy of Gotham which was installing as individual files and not as a family. It also does what you're looking for: allows you to open individual files and edit their font info and then resave in whatever format you need. RoboFont is a great software (mac only) for font editing on so many levels. If someone wants to outline steps in FontLab or Fontographer, I'm all ears. If there's a paid app to do this, I'm fine with that. I am not absolutely looking for freeware. Running Mac OS 10.7, but can boot to 10.6 or 10.8 if needed. ![]() How do I do this with the tool suggested, specific steps please? Are there any basic smaller apps to simply edit the font info without editing character and other tables? I don't want to edit the actual font data specifically, merely the titles and naming structure I believe. I know there are a couple of high-end apps (Fontographer, FontLab). What tool on the Macintosh can combine these faces so they are all listed under the family name? As in the figure B, above. The problem I have is each face is listed separately in various applications (Photoshop, Indesign, etc.) Rather than simply one item with a submenu for faces. These are decent quality fonts with, on average, 8–15 different faces for the family. Not sure if Fontographer will be around for quite a while or not, but it is a good program and less expensive than FontLab.I've got a few fonts I've purchased over the past few years. Some are windows only and some are available for MacOS as well. Some are online converters (free or paid) and some are desktop conversion applications like TransType from FontLab or font editors like HighLogic FontCreator, FontLab Studio and FontLab VI, Fontographer (also by FontLab), Type 3.2 by CR8 software. Then there is the option of using a font converter to convert your OTF fonts to TTF fonts. ![]() This TTF may be the old-style plain TrueType or it may be OpenType TrueType but this depends on the font creator providing TTF fonts as well (and some still provide old-style plain TTF next to OTF) or how FontSpring converts the font. You also may want to have a look at Fontspring instead of MyFonts, as Fontspring also offers a TTF download of you font order if the font is offically OTF only. That way you can check if it will be usable for you in BricsCAD or not. Upon purchase on MyFonts you can see if the font is supllied as OTF, TTF or even supplied as both at the bottom of the page with the description etc. You may want to check if the font are OTF or TTF style fonts. that still do not support OpenType OTF fonts for quite a few years). There are two flavours of OpenType fonts:īricsCAD can use OpenType TTF fonts but not OpenType OTF fonts (though I think it should simply support OTF fonts as well as I can't see a valid reason not to, but there are quite a few CAD and e.g. ![]()
