Combining font files with font effects
You can style text using the Bold and Italic buttons on the toolbar. When you do that with text
that is displayed in an imported font, and there's no file that contains the bold or italic version,
Connect will mimic the bold and italic versions of that font. This is called style simulation.
Style simulation is costly in terms of performance (output is created slower) and results in
bigger files.
It is much better, if you have separate files for the bold, italic and any other versions of a font, to
use those. Here's how to do that.
1. Import the files for the bold, italic and any other versions of the font into the Fonts folder.
Initially, imported fonts appear as separate entries in the Fonts drop-down on the toolbar.
They are not used automatically when you style text using the Bold and/or Italic button.
To make the Designer use the styled version of a font when you click the Bold or Italic
button, open the Font Manager:
2.
From the menu, select Edit > Fonts.
3. Combine each of the styled fonts with a font effect:
l
Select the font and click the Edit button.
l Select the appropriate font effect (e.g. Font Weight: Bold, or Font Style: Italic).
l
Change the name of the styled font. It should have the same name as the regular
font.
4. Close the Font Manager.
Font types
The Designer currently supports 4 font types: TTF, OTF, WOFF, EOT and SVG.
When you are creating a Web template, keep in mind that the different font types are not
supported by all clients; for instance, EOT and SVG are used only by Explorer and Safari,
respectively.
When creating an Email template, it's better to import several types of the same font, in order for
any client to see the appropriate fonts.
In the case of a Print context you do not need to provide alternative fonts, because the output is
not displayed using a font from the device on which the output is read.
