TYPOGAMA | A DIGITAL TYPE FOUNDRY
Now that we have covered how fantastic the Opentype format is, the main question is how can a user access them? Unfortunately there is no standard interface that was imposed and even in the designer friendly Adobe software, the interface changes from application to application. Below is a quick preview of the 3 main design softwares and their Opentype layout.
Standard Glyphs
Ignorance typeface
Adobe® Illustrator CC
Illustrator is the only Adobe application that offers a seperate tab that is specific to the Opentype features.
Adobe® Photoshop CC
Adobe® Indesign CC
Indesign offers the largest range of Opentype support even going as far as to offer the Stylistics sets, hopefully in future releases of Adobe, a more harmonised interface will be imagined.
