TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
so that the color fonts are easily differentiable from normal fonts and from each
other.
If an installed color font is available in more than one format on the system, then
the one having the higher preference order will be enumerated in the font list. The
preference order is: SVG, COLR, SBIX.
Both Windows and macOS have a default color font (Segoe UI Emoji font on
Windows and Apple Color Emoji on macOS).
Color fonts based on vector glyphs can be resized without any loss, just like any
regular font. Color bitmap fonts, like any other photo or pixel-based image, will
scale properly up to a certain size, depending on their original resolution. Beyond
that resolution, the lettering will look pixelated.
Bitmap fonts will work in high-quality output (such as print), however that depends
on the resolution added to such a font. You might see issue with bitmap-based fonts
when you use large font sizes. If you use a color font that contains many hi-res
bitmaps, the output will also significantly increase in size.
Emoji glyphs and color font glyphs can be inserted from the Glyph palette. If an
emoji glyph has a multi code point value then the glyphs will be displayed as
unencoded glyphs but can inserted as a single glyph.
Color fonts glyphs which have a single code point, can be inserted from System
Character Viewer (Cmd+ Control + Escape) on Mac, Emoji Panel (Windows key + ,)
or (Windows key+ ;) on Windows, Emoji key on Touch keyboard on Windows.
Multi code point Emoji sequences cannot be inserted as a single character, nor do
the individual characters in correct sequence combine to form a single emoji glyph.
QuarkXPress doesn’t provide a UI option in the Glyph palette to access all variants
of a base emoji glyph (like skin tone variants).
Working with the Glyphs palette
A glyph is the smallest unit of a font — each uppercase letter, for example, consists
of its own glyph. To access all the glyphs in a font — especially an OpenType font
that may include tens of thousands of glyphs — you need to view a complete
character map. You can access such a character map in the Glyphs palette (Window
menu), which enables you to view all the glyphs in the selected font, view the
OpenType glyphs in the font, double-click a glyph to insert that glyph in text, and
save favorite glyphs for easy access.
