Meeting Summary: Fonts and More!

Thu, Feb 25th, 2010 at 6:00 PM

Meredith Corporation Conference Core

The font wizards Brian Cupp and Jeremy Schultz came to the rescue tonight. Brian talked about the technical side of fonts, how they should be managed, used, and several other important tidbits of information.

Jeremy rolled up his sleeves and went down into the nuts and bolts of features within OpenType fonts, which are the greatest thing since sliced bread. He demonstrated to us Ligatures, Ordinals, Fractions, sets, and many of the other options available in the Character Panel flyout menu.
