3. Combine each of the styled fonts with a font effect:
a. Select the font and click the Edit button.
b. Select the appropriate font effect (e.g. Font Weight: Bold, or Font Style: Italic).
c. Change the name of the styled font. It should have the same name as the regular
font.
4. Close the Font Manager.
Style simulation
When it can't use a separate font file for a particular font effect, Connect will mimic the bold and
italic versions of that font. This is called style simulation.
There are some major drawbacks to style simulation. Firstly, it is not reliable: it does not work
for all fonts. Secondly, style simulation is costly in terms of performance (output is created
slower) and results in bigger files. Finally, because of the plain machine transformation of the
font, the result will probably not look as good as when using a carefully designed, properly
styled, font.
It is much better, if you have separate files for the bold, italic and any other versions of a font, to
use those.
Font types
The Designer currently supports 5 font types: TTF, OTF, WOFF, EOT and SVG.
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.
Applying an imported font
Once a font is imported, it is automatically added to the Fonts drop-down on the toolbar.
It can also be used in the style sheets, even in combination with other fonts, for example:
body {
font-family: 'MyWebFont', Arial, sans-serif;
}
