2018

CHANGES IN THIS VERSION
18 | Getting Started with QuarkCopyDesk 2018
The Fractions feature has been improved, allowing you to apply this feature
to non-numeric text.
The Find/Change dialog has been enhanced to allow you to search for text
that have specified OpenType style features applied.
OpenType Styles palette enhancements:
Clicking the OpenType icon on the Character tab of the
Measurements palette displays the OpenType Styles palette. The
OpenType Styles palette can also be displayed/closed by pressing the F4
shortcut key.
A radio button indicates that the OpenType feature is mutually
exclusive, you need to select between one of the features. A check box
indicates that the OpenType feature is additive, you can add the
feature to already applied OpenType features.
In the palette, a preview of each feature will be shown to the right of
the feature, displaying how the currently selected text will be rendered
if that particular feature were to be applied.
OpenType features that are not applicable to the currently selected font
will be greyed out. On macOS, if the currently selected font doesn’t
contain any OpenType features, a ‘No OpenType features available’
message will be displayed on the OpenType palette.
OpenType Styles dialog enhancements:
Clicking the OpenType icon on the Edit Character Style Sheet
dialog displays the OpenType Styles dialog.
Specify the OpenType style features you want, and they will be applied
to the character style sheet. Click Reset to Default to reset your choices
to the default choices applied to the style sheet.
This dialog is also displayed when using the Find/Change palette to
search for text with OpenType style features applied.
Color Fonts Supports: Color fonts represent a key evolution in digital
typography, introducing rich graphic features into font files. A color font file is a
regular font file that embeds additional data to display more graphic properties
than the contour shapes of a character. To use these color fonts, just install a
color font in one of the three supported formats in macOS or Windows. Use it
like any other font in QuarkCopyDesk.
QuarkCopyDesk 2018 supports 3 color font formats:
SBIX: This is an Apple format, containing glyphs with bitmap raster data
COLR: This is a Microsoft format, containing glyphs with vector data
SVG: this is an Adobe and Mozilla format, containing glyphs with vector
and raster data.
Footnote/Endnote Spans: In a multi-column text box, you are now able to span
footnotes/endnotes across columns using the Footnote Across Columns
attribute specified in the footnote/endnote separator style.
