The most important section of the TransType user interface which you will use to prepare your fonts for conversion is the top bar. See the further chapters for a detailed description of all the operations which you can perform in TransType while preparing the fonts for conversion. Your original (source) font files are not changed or overwritten while you’re preparing your fonts for conversion in TransType. Those targets do not physically exist as fonts on your hard drive until you run the conversion. All editing operations that you perform within TransType are done on targets. Once you’ve added some source fonts to TransType, you will see some font targets in the Main area.Ī font target is the “intended output font.” A single target contains information necessary to convert the source font into the final font file - in an intended format, with the intended menu naming and grouping and other information. The “ Add Recent Font Files” entry allows you to add again one of the fonts that were recently added to TransType. In this dialog, you can search for portions of a font name and you can show only the installed fonts which support a certain writing system (alphabet), for example Latin, Cyrillic or Arabic: The “ Add Installed…” entry invokes a special dialog which allows you to open fonts installed on the system. TransType will then scan all subfolders of the folder selected by you for possible font files and add them all. The “Add Folder…” entry invokes an Open Folder system dialog which allows selection of one folder. All files that you select will be added to TransType. The “Add Font Files…” entry invokes an Open File system dialog which allows selection of multiple files. There are more ways to add fonts to TransType. The simplest way to add fonts to TransType is to drag-and-drop them into the TransType window from the Finder (Mac OS X) or Explorer (Windows). Multiple Master fonts are not currently supported in TransType 4. Illustration: TransType 4 user interface with Preview and Font Info panels shown.
