I’m working on Big Shoulders, which is a collection of three distinctly different families (Regular, Stencil, and Inline). Technically, I need to increase my UPM in Inline to 4000 to handle the resolution of its finer weights in its VF.
is there also a technical reason I would need to swap the other two families, Reg and Stencil, to the same UPM? their VF renders as expected at 1000. I couldn’t find any warning against different grids in related families; thought I should ask here.
here’s the reason for Inline’s UPM increase, illustrated. TTF needs a super-fine grid for those inner strokes.
Do you need it to work in Office Software too? In the past, we had trouble with MS Office (but already a while ago, so it may not apply anymore) starting at approx 4K UPM.
I think it was two things: it either refused to display it at all, or it was minus-tracked like crazy (as if the glyph widths had not been scaled to UPM). In any event, something very obvious. A quick export and opening it in the current Word will give you clarity.
