Bravo, a document preparation program for the Alto produced at Xerox PARC by Butler Lampson, Charles Simonyi and colleagues in 1974, is generally considered the first program to incorporate WYSIWYG technology, displaying text with formatting ( e. g. with justification, fonts, and proportional spacing of characters ).

It is one of the few fonts to incorporate an interrobang.

* Italic fonts incorporate italic type characteristics instead of just tilting roman glyphs, making it the first sans serif font family from Microsoft to use true italic features.

The fonts produced to date can already reproduce a wide range of handwriting styles.

* The year 6009 will be the first year since 1961 in which its rendering using the Hindu-Arabic numeral system will create a numeral which can be inverted, rendering the same numeral ; this works in many sans-serif fonts, much handwriting, and in the standard Seven-segment display of electronic devices.

Segoe UI is just one of many fonts ( at least 27 ) using the Segoe trademark ; others include an extensive range of branding print fonts used internally by Microsoft and their advertising agencies, the Windows Vista handwriting fonts Segoe Script and Segoe Print, Segoe Chess, a symbol encoded chess font, several Segoe Media Center fonts, and Segoe TV, which is built into MSN TV set-top-boxes.

One issue is that fonts do not actually scale linearly at small sizes ; features of the glyphs will become proportionally too large or small and they start to look wrong.

troff features commands to designate fonts, spacing, paragraphs, margins, footnotes and more.

Italic fonts include italic type features instead of just tilted romans.

It was the first DTP application to support Unicode for text processing, advanced typography with OpenType fonts, advanced transparency features, layout styles, optical margin alignment, and cross-platform scripting using JavaScript.

Upgrades from PageMaker to InDesign 2. 0 and ( after the release of InDesign CS ) a " PageMaker Plug-in Pack " were offered, containing PageMaker-specific features and help topics, complimentary Myriad Pro fonts and templates.

For the first time, italic type features are incorporated in the italic fonts.

The company's type library features fonts by Mark Andresen, Bob Aufuldish, Jonathan Barnbrook, Rodrigo Cavazos, Barry Deck, Eric Donelan, John Downer, Elliott Peter Earls, Edward Fella, Sibylle Hagmann, Frank Heine, John Hersey, Jeffery Keedy, Zuzana Licko, P. Scott Makela, Conor Mangat, Nancy Mazzei, Brian Kelly, Miles Newlyn, Claudio Piccinini, Just van Rossum, Christian Schwartz and Rudy VanderLans.

It could produce plain ASCII text files, but there were also features that embedded control characters in a document to support automatic section renumbering, bold and italic fonts, and other such.

PS included many features not found in QD, notably Bézier curves and outline fonts.

It introduced " soft fonts ", treatments like bold and italic and other features including a parallel ( Centronics ) interface.

The HP LaserJet II used PCL4, improved features, more memory and fonts for a market price of $ 2, 695.

Actual bold fonts are designed with some features thicker and others the same size as a regular font, so the use of this " fake bold " is considered undesirable from a typographic point of view ; some typesetting programs, including Mac OS X's native font chooser and text renderer, go so far as to refuse to fake bold in this way.

Advanced features ( for its time ) included Document Assembly ( maintaining each chapter of a book in separate files and combining them for printing or to produce a table of contents or index ), automatic paragraph numbering, footnotes, endnotes, support for mixed fonts, multi-level equations and scientific characters.

The typographical and automated capabilities of ConTeXt are extensive, including interfaces for handling microtypography, multiple footnotes and footnote classes, and manipulating OpenType fonts and features.

Pro fonts include extensive OpenType features, including eleven stylistic sets: Petite Capitals, Dryad Cap Alternates, Humanistic Alternates 1, Humanistic Alternates 2, Geometric Alternates, Round Points, Diamond Points, Alternate Tilde, All Under commas, All cedillas, Alternate Eng.

Terminal. app features include tabs and customization of fonts and colors.

However, some fonts offer both text and lining figures, either using OpenType features to select between them or using Unicode's Private Use Area for one or the other set ; for instance, Adobe's " Pro " fonts use codepoints U + F643 to U + F64C to encode text figures.

XBin also had several notable features above and beyond that of standard text images saved in ANSI format in that it took further advantage of the text mode environment by ( optionally ) storing alternate palette color information, supporting modified character set fonts and its own simple compression system.

XeTeX can use any fonts installed in the operating system without configuring TeX font metrics, and can make direct use of advanced typographic features of OpenType, AAT and Graphite technologies such as alternative glyphs and swashes, optional or historic ligatures, and variable font weights.

XeTeX also supports typesetting mathematics using Unicode fonts that contain special mathematical features, such as Cambria Math or Asana Math as an alternative to the traditional mathematical typesetting based on TeX font metrics.

In practice, few AAT fonts use any features of the technology other than those available through the ' morx ' table.

It saves files in a Microsoft Word-compatible rich text format and has support for headers, footers, tables, different fonts, text alignment, and other features common in word processors.

This is the first Windows programming interface to expose OpenType features to software developers, supporting OpenType, TrueType, and OpenType CFF ( Compact Font Format ) fonts.

This was especially common in old-fashioned movable type printing when smaller fonts were not available.

( Proper names tend to be especially orthographically conservative — compare this to changing the spelling of one's name to suit a language reform in the U. S. or U. K .) While this may be considered primarily a graphical representation or rendering problem to be overcome by more artful fonts, the widespread use of Unicode would make it difficult to preserve such distinctions.

Auto kerning is especially useful for kerning multi-language fonts.

Additionally, there is a double-width character (￥) at code point for use with wide fonts, especially east Asian fonts.

Syntax highlighting is a feature of some text editors that display text — especially source code — in different colors and fonts according to the category of terms.

* Vector data allows for visually smooth and easy implementation of overlay operations, especially in terms of graphics and shape-driven information like maps, routes and custom fonts, which are more difficult with raster data.

With the recent advent of computer fonts and especially Unicode support, however, the problem has largely been resolved.

While these fonts contain bold and bold italic variants, they do not contain the full range of glyphs, especially most Greek letters.

Some graphics systems that use bitmap fonts, especially those of emulators, apply curve-sensitive nonlinear resampling algorithms such as 2xSaI or hq3x on fonts and other bitmaps, which avoids blurring the font while introducing little objectionable distortion at moderate increases in size.

The IndUni fonts are a GPL-licensed font family with many accents and combining characters, especially suitable for Indic, Indian and Nepali ( Sanskrit, Prakrit, Hindi ) and Middle Eastern languages and Urdu in transliteration.

PDF is sometimes used, especially for languages which don't yet have computer fonts or OCR software available.

This capability is especially important on older versions of the Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating systems, as with those systems, fonts are normally always active and available to all programs that use or display text.

Unicode may contribute to this greatly with its combining characters, accents, several types of hyphen-alikes, etc., often due to inadequate rendering support, especially with smaller fonts sizes and wide variety of fonts.

Since the numerals are smaller, legibility can be an issue, especially for small-sized fonts.

This is an uncommon feature in screen fonts, especially in sans-serif faces ( lowercase numerals are found in Microsoft's serif Georgia typeface ).

Oblique fonts are usually associated with sans-serif typefaces, especially with geometric faces, as opposed to humanist ones whose design tends to draw more on history.
