USING INCOPY CS4 188 Typography Slashed Zero Selecting this options displays the number 0 with a diagonal slash through it. In some fonts (especially condensed fonts), it can be difficult to distinguish between the number 0 and the capital letter O. Stylistic Sets Some OpenType fonts include alternate glyph sets designed for esthetic effect. A stylistic set is a group of glyph alternates that can be applied one character at a time or to a range of text. If you select a different stylistic set, the glyphs defined in the set are used instead of the font's default glyphs. If a glyph character in a stylistic set is used in conjunction with another OpenType setting, the glyph from the individual setting overrides the character set glyph. You can see the glyphs for each set using the Glyphs panel. Positional Forms In some cursive scripts and in languages such as Arabic, what a character looks like can depend on its position inside a word. The character may change form when it appears at the start (initial position), middle (medial position), or end (final position) of a word, and it may change form as well when it appears alone (isolated position). Select a character and choose a Positional Forms option to format it correctly. The General Form option inserts the common character; the Automatic Form option inserts a form of the character according to where the character is located in the word and whether the character appears in isolation. Superscript/Superior & Subscript/Inferior Some OpenType fonts include raised or lowered glyphs that are sized correctly relative to the surrounding characters. If an OpenType font doesn't include these glyphs for non-standard fractions, consider using the Numerator and Denominator attributes. Numerator & Denominator Some OpenType fonts convert only basic fractions (such as 1/2 or 1/4) to fraction glyphs, not non-standard fractions (such as 4/13 or 99/100). Apply Numerator and Denominator attributes to these nonstandard fractions in such cases. Tabular Lining Same widths are provided for full-height figures. This option is appropriate in situations where numbers need to line up from one line to the next, as in tables. Proportional Oldstyle Varying-height figures with varying widths are provided. This option is recommended for a classic, sophisticated look in text that doesn't use all caps. Proportional Lining Full-height figures with varying widths are provided. This option is recommended for text that uses all caps. Tabular Oldstyle Varying-height figures with fixed, equal widths are provided. This option is recommended when you want the classic appearance of old-style figures, but you need them to align in columns, as in an annual report. Default Figure Style Figure glyphs use the default figure style of the current font. Work with missing fonts When you open or place documents that include fonts not installed on your system, an alert message appears, indicating which fonts are missing. If you select text that uses a missing font, the Character panel or Control panel indicates that this font is missing by displaying it in brackets in the font style pop-up menu. InCopy substitutes missing fonts with an available font. When this happens, you can select the text and apply any other available font. Missing fonts for which others have been substituted will appear at the top of the Type > Font menu in a section marked "Missing Fonts." By default, text formatted with missing fonts appears in pink highlighting. If a TrueType font is installed and the document contains a Type 1 (T1) version of the same font, the font is displayed as missing. You can choose Type > Find Font to find and change missing fonts. If a missing font is part of a style, you can update the font in that style by changing its style definition. Updated 29 April 2009

USING INCOPY CS4
Typography
Slashed Zero
Selecting this options displays the number
0
with a diagonal slash through it. In some fonts (especially
condensed fonts), it can be difficult to distinguish between the number
0
and the capital letter
O
.
Stylistic Sets
Some OpenType fonts include alternate glyph sets designed for esthetic effect. A
stylistic set
is a group of
glyph alternates that can be applied one character at a time or to a range of text. If you select a different stylistic set, the
glyphs defined in the set are used instead of the font’s default glyphs. If a glyph character in a stylistic set is used in
conjunction with another OpenType setting, the glyph from the individual setting overrides the character set glyph.
You can see the glyphs for each set using the Glyphs panel.
Positional Forms
In some cursive scripts and in languages such as Arabic, what a character looks like can depend on
its position inside a word. The character may change form when it appears at the start (initial position), middle (medial
position), or end (final position) of a word, and it may change form as well when it appears alone (isolated position).
Select a character and choose a Positional Forms option to format it correctly. The General Form option inserts the
common character; the Automatic Form option inserts a form of the character according to where the character is
located in the word and whether the character appears in isolation.
Superscript/Superior & Subscript/Inferior
Some OpenType fonts include raised or lowered glyphs that are sized
correctly relative to the surrounding characters. If an OpenType font doesn’t include these glyphs for non-standard
fractions, consider using the Numerator and Denominator attributes.
Numerator & Denominator
Some OpenType fonts convert only basic fractions (such as 1/2 or 1/4) to fraction glyphs,
not non-standard fractions (such as 4/13 or 99/100). Apply Numerator and Denominator attributes to these non-
standard fractions in such cases.
Tabular Lining
Same widths are provided for full-height figures. This option is appropriate in situations where
numbers need to line up from one line to the next, as in tables.
Proportional Oldstyle
Varying-height figures with varying widths are provided. This option is recommended for a
classic, sophisticated look in text that doesn’t use all caps.
Proportional Lining
Full-height figures with varying widths are provided. This option is recommended for text that
uses all caps.
Tabular Oldstyle
Varying-height figures with fixed, equal widths are provided. This option is recommended when you
want the classic appearance of old-style figures, but you need them to align in columns, as in an annual report.
Default Figure Style
Figure glyphs use the default figure style of the current font.
Work with missing fonts
When you open or place documents that include fonts not installed on your system, an alert message appears,
indicating which fonts are missing. If you select text that uses a missing font, the Character panel or Control panel
indicates that this font is missing by displaying it in brackets in the font style pop-up menu.
InCopy
substitutes missing fonts with an available font. When this happens, you can select the text and apply any other
available font. Missing fonts for which others have been substituted will appear at the top of the Type
> Font menu in
a section marked “Missing Fonts.” By default, text formatted with missing fonts appears in pink highlighting.
If a TrueType font is installed and the document contains a Type
1
(T1) version of the same font, the font is displayed
as missing.
You can choose Type
> Find Font to find and change missing fonts. If a missing font is part of a style, you can update
the font in that style by changing its style definition.
