TrueType for Windows
To use Windows TrueType fonts, you must have
Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later.
When generating TrueType for Windows, Fontographer
makes use of a dialog which allows you to determine the
level of hinting, dropout, encoding and character mapping
options. Activate this dialog by pressing the TrueType
Options button. (Choices in this dialog may override the
selection made in the Encoding pop-up menu.)
1. For your Computer, select “PC.”
2. Select the “TrueType” option in the Outline font to
output Format field.
3. You can disregard the ID field as that pertains only
to PostScript Type 1 fonts.
4. If you are curious, press the TrueType Options
button; otherwise, skip to step 6.
The default setting are shown below. Generally leave
them alone, but turn off hinting if your font exhibits printing
problems. The Use Symbol encoding and Sequential
Character Mapping should only be selected if you wish to
create a “ Wingdings” style symbol font for Windows, or if
you have some other special purpose (like getting some
additional characters, etc.). For more information, see the
next section, “Symbol Encoded PC fonts.” Confine screen
characters to em-square will not change the way
characters print. Include extra TrueType tables is provided
for future use by Windows applications.
