monotype

They'll be crappy at first, because Adobe and Monotype (and FontFont and HFJ) aren't going to play ball.

Just do: monotype.save(editor); Then perform your manipulation, when done call: monotype.restore(); Tim Down!

The story is this: all the big typesetting companies, like Berthold, Linotype, Monotype and so on, have been type foundries originally.

What is really strange about Arial is that it appears that Monotype was uncomfortable about doing a direct copy of Helvetica.

I just ditched monotype fonts a few weeks ago or so, and am not thinking about going back.

Please contact Monotype for more information about the Microsoft Core Fonts for the Web.

Some consequence: the poor spacing of the letters 'i' and 'l', and the squashed, dark appearance of the 'm' and 'w' in monotype fonts.

And at a certain scale, it's cheaper to pay a type foundry $100k once, rather than paying Monotype continuous fees for a legacy family.

The only reason it exists is because changing it a little and giving it a new name meant Monotype didn’t have to pay Linotype license fees.

Even though we've been acquired by Monotype (the company behind fonts.com), Typecast will continue to offer web fonts from a range of providers.

Some of the other 'Microsoft core fonts' (Arial was originally designed by Monotype in 1982, not Microsoft) were actually designed for low resolution screen display, like Georgia and Verdana.

In the fairy land of foundries, there's the great and unrivaled king – Monotype – and then there's a thousand princelings with a few princes (Adobe, FontFont) sparkled in between.

Now, Monotype was a respected type foundry with a glorious past and perhaps the idea of being associated with these “pirates” was unacceptable.

The only precursor for monotype is the large, decorated capitals at the beginning of chapters and sections -- "illuminated letters" -- that were approximately square.

If I pay $100 for Times New Roman Pro from Monotype, my DSL is automatically more expensive.

Monotype is similar to your new Text module but behaves a bit differently, please email me so we can talk more!

I work for Monotype, the owner of myFonts, and I can assure you we have more amazing things in store for WhatTheFont and beyond.
