PANOSE™ Identification
In the PANOSE identification system 10 numbers describe a font. Each
number represents one identification category. The most important
category (represented by the first number) defines the “kind” of font — is it
a normal Roman font, a hand-written font, a decorative or symbol font.
The meaning of all the other categories depends on this setting.
In all categories the first two values (0 and 1) mean Any and No Fit. Any
means that the value of this category is not important. No Fit means that
the category value for this font is not among the available values.
To set the PANOSE identification numbers, first select the font family kind.
After that, select the category in the Record combo box and the value in the
Value combo box.
