FontLab 4
130
You must have at least two fonts open to use the Blend fonts operation. To
activate the Blend feature, select the Blend fonts command from the Tools
menu. A dialog box appears:
The dialog box is divided into three sections. The first two sections let you
specify the fonts to blend. To select the first or second font choose the font
name in the list. The Preview panel will show a sample of the font. You
cannot select the same font in both sections; FontLab will take care of that.
The bottom section lets you specify blend options.
You have two main choices: to make a single master font that will contain
the result of the source fonts blend or to make a Multiple Master font that
will have the two source fonts as the masters. Here we will describe only
single-master mode. Please refer to the Multiple Master chapter for
information about using the Blend feature to make Multiple Master fonts.
