Hey, I got my font to look how I wanted it to in the Glyphs Editor view, exported the font, and the started using it in Photoshop. I noticed letter spacing was very different. I checked in Powerpoint and Word and the spacing was even more different. I understand PPT and Word have their own engines for font rendering but I thought Photoshop was supposed to be as accurate as possible to the font.
Here are the spacing differences I noticed the most: W-e, m-e, a-’-s, w-e
I followed the instructions and did the safe mode reset on Mac and it still showed the difference. I also emailed the font file and downloaded to another computer (this time a windows computer), installed it, and checked in Word and Powerpoint. Word looks like the correct version on the right, but in Powerpoint it looks like the spaced out version on the left.
I know there are special ways to install fonts “properly” but I need to be able to send the font file to a designer to make some signs with for our wedding. I wont be able to dictate how they install the font. Any help would be immensely appreciated!
Font file can be downloaded here from my Google Drive.
That’s because PowerPoint doesn’t support kerning unless you trick it into believing it’s a Variable Font. You currently need the Terminal for it, or you wait for the upcoming beta version of Glyphs.
In the mekkablue scripts, in the post production subfolder, there is a script called winfix.py. Run it in the terminal for instructions.
