Heller ikke her.

For at bruge det i dette tilfælde.

Det åbner op for mange nye muligheder hvad tekst angår i hver tilfælde
og jeg er ikke et minut i tvivl om at vi før eller siden vil gå helt
over til OpenType.
Prøv evt. følgende side:

Følgende er snuppet fra hjælpefilen i InDesign:
| OpenType fonts may include a number of features, such as swashes
| and discretionary ligatures, that aren't available in current
| PostScript and TrueType fonts. In addition, OpenType fonts provide
| alternate glyphs for many characters, which you can insert using
| the Glyphs palette.
|
| Discretionary Ligatures
|
| Font designers may include optional ligatures that should not be
| turned on in all circumstances. Selecting this option allows these
| additional optional ligatures to be used, if they are present. For
| more information on ligatures, see Using ligatures.
|
| Fraction
|
| Numbers separated by a slash (such as 1/2) are converted to a
| fraction (such as 1/2), when fractions are available.
|
| Ordinal
|
| Ordinal numbers such as 1st and 2nd are formatted with superscript
| letters (1st and 2nd), when ordinals are available. Letters such
| as the superscript a and o in the Spanish words segunda (2a) and
| segundo (2o) are also typeset properly.
|
| Swash
|
| When they are available, regular and contextual swashes, which may
| include alternate caps and end-of-word alternatives, are
| provided.
|
| Titling Alternatives
|
| When they are available, characters used for uppercase titles are
| activated. In some fonts, selecting this option for text formatted
| in both uppercase and lowercase letters can yield undesired
| effects.
|
| Contextual Alternatives
|
| When they are available, contextual ligatures and connecting
| alternates are activated. This option is turned on by default.
|
| All Small Caps
|
| For fonts that include real small caps, selecting this option
| turns all characters into small caps. For more information, see
| Applying all caps or small caps.
|
| Superscript/Superior & Subscript/Inferior
|
| Some OpenType fonts include raised or lowered glyphs that are
| sized correctly relative to the surrounding characters.
|
| Numerator & Denominator
|
| Some OpenType fonts include raised or lowered glyphs that are
| sized correctly relative to the surrounding characters.
|
| Tabular Lining
|
| Full-height figures all of the same width are provided. This
| option is appropriate in situations where numbers need to line up
| from one line to the next, as in tables.
|
| Proportional Oldstyle
|
| Varying-height figures with varying widths are provided. This
| option is recommended for a classic, sophisticated look in text
| that doesn't use all caps.
|
| Proportional Lining
|
| Full-height figures with varying widths are provided. This option
| is recommended for text that uses all caps.
|
| Tabular Oldstyle
|
| Varying-height figures with fixed, equal widths are provided. This
| option is recommended when you want the classic appearance of
| old-style figures, but need them to align in columns, as in an
| annual report.
|
| Default Figure Style
|
| Figure glyphs use the default figure style of the current font.
Og så har jeg i øvrigt lige opdaget noget sært for Win2000 og XP
har fuld understøttelse for OpenType og mange af fontene er i
OpenType hvis man går ind i kontrolpanelet i Windows, eller rettere
så ser de ud til at være det, men hvis man højreklikker på dem så
står der TrueType:
<

Når jeg har valgt sådan en font i InDesign så har jeg ikke kunnet
få noget som helst til at ændre sig ved teksten ved at vælge nogle
af ovenstående OpenType-indstillinger. Desuden så optræder de fonte
som WinXP kalder for OpenType som TrueType i ATM Deluxe, som jeg
har valgt at installere for at kunne slukke for de fonte jeg ikke
bruger. <
http://home18.inet.tele.dk/madsen/winxp/atm/truetype.png>.
Indtil nu har jeg gået og troet at ATM ikke understøtter OpenType,
men det gør den skam, for hvis man installerer f.eks. Adobe Garamond
Pro i OpenType som befinder sig på InDesign 2 CD'en så får fonten
det rigtige ikon i ATM:
<
http://home18.inet.tele.dk/madsen/winxp/atm/opentype.png> - og når
den font er valgt i InDesign så sker der noget når man vælger imellem
de forskellige OpenType-indstillinger.
Det synes jeg faktisk er underligt. Gad vide om de OpenType-fonte som
er leveret med Windows ikke er rigtige OpenType-fonte når det kommer
til stykket, men kun skrabede udgaver? Det skulle da ikke undre mig.
