You can continue making minor tweaks to the blended
character (or font), or simply save it as a new variation and
go on to another variation with a different interpolation
percentage.
Closing the new font unlinks the source fonts.
When things go wrong...
Doing the above example using Times and Times-Bold,
you most likely encountered an error message after the
blend attempt that read, “Could not complete your request
because some characters didn’t match during blending.
Consult your log file for details about the unblended
characters.” When you open the text file Fontog.log, you
will see the list of error(s). Here are some examples of
possible errors:
char. #1 char. #2 Path # Error
290 290 different
# of
paths
303 303 1 different
type of
paths
741 char
missing
in font 2
Let’s go through the error messages one at a time:
The first headers refer to the character decimal location in
the fonts. So character 290 in Font 1 and Character 290 in
font 2 don’t match because they have a different number of
paths. This means that, for example, your lowercase “g” in
font 1 has three paths, but in font 2 it only has two. Or the
Ccedillas () don’t match because in one font you used
