Not so off-topic in fact. Some applications expect that families come with the 4 "standard" variants (normal, italic, bold, bold-italic) and some fonts just do that by splitting larger family into chunks and putting a part of the variant name into the family name. Say it’s first thing that comes in mind. But since I don’t have this font I can’t help more at this point. -- Pierre Marchand http://www.oep-h.com _______________________________________________ Undertype-users mailing list Undertype-users@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/undertype-users
