Hi all
Without some convoluted scripting (when using in InDesign for print) is it possible to create a font that has some tinted parts, eg 50% black underscore with solid black main characters:
You can use color fonts for this effect, but the support for color fonts is still not great, so I would not try this unless it is absolutely necessary.
Thanks Florian - just as I thought
That should work for Indesign. I can’t remember what color font flavor Indesign is supporting, but it is possible.
Or with a tiny bit of “scripting”, a GREP style could solve that, too.
Would the underscore or other tinted area be part of the same glyph as the solid part above
In a color font, different parts of a glyph can different colors. Using GREP in InDesign, a glyph only has a single color, so the arch would need to be a different glyph.
Understood. Thanks.
InDesign (like other Adobe apps) uses SVG.
The rest of the world uses CPAL/COLR.
You can export two different versions of your font, one SVG, one CPAL.
