I gather from a previous topic that there’s no clever way of preventing Word from using fake bold or italic. I’ve made a handwriting font that has non-joining, joining and cursive versions. I’m assuming I need to create bold and italic masters that are the same as my regular ones. If so, are there any settings gotchas I need to be aware of?
You don’t need to make extra masters. Adding identical exports (where only the style name and style linking differ) is enough.
I’ve not heard of this way to prevent faux italic/bold, but why not.
All you need to do: name them Bold/Italic/Bold Italic. And set the “is the italic bold” checkboxes accordingly.
Italic: is italic
Bold: is bold
Bold Italic: is bold, is italic.
I don’t recommend it if you don’t have a true bold and italic to replace it with. Users will just be confused.
Thanks! I’ll give that a go.
Usually I’d agree, but this is specifically for educational purposes, so users know what they’re getting.
