Yenza eyakho i-typography inokuba njalo uphawu lwesazisi olwahlula kwabanye kwaye kweli lizwe loyilo kunye nobugcisa yinto ephantse ibaluleke kakhulu ukuba igqame. Ngaphandle kwento yokuba kukho abaqulunqi abaninzi abazimiseleyo ukwenza iifonti ukuzama ukwenza imali encinci okanye kulonwabo lwabo.
Le nkqubo iye yandiswa ngenxa kwimpembelelo yezixhobo ezitsha kwimarike eyenza kube lula ukwenza iifonti zazo zonke iintlobo zezimbo. Apha ngezantsi uya kufumana ezona zixhobo zibalaseleyo zokwenza eyakho i-typography ngezixhobo ezinkulu zokuhlela.
Inkqubo ngokwayo yokwenza ifonti entsha intsonkothile kakhulu, kuba kulapho ubuchule bakho bobugcisa buqala khona ukudlala. Imilo yeeleta izotyiwe okanye ihlelwe, idatha ifakwe ukwenza ukuba ifonti yakho isebenza ngokuchanekileyo kuwo onke amaqonga, uyaqinisekisa ukuba naxa uyiprinta ibonakala igqibelele kwaye ekugqibeleni uyithumela ngaphandle kwiifomati zefayile.
Ukunceda kuyo yonke le nkqubo kukho abahleli befonti abane abakhoyo ezifana: FontLab Studio, Fontographer, Glyphs kunye Robofont.
Fontlab
Aba bahleli babini baye ibe sesona sixhobo sibalulekileyo ixesha elide kule ndawo. Kwaye ngelixa kukho ukhetho olunomdla ngakumbi, baqhubeka benika yonke into kuba kukho abaqulunqi kunye neenkampani ezinomsebenzi wabo ngokusekelwe kubo.
Unamandla ngokwaneleyo ukwenza iifonti ezikumgangatho ophezulu kwaye basebenza kuzo zombini i-OS X kunye neWindows.
Ngokusebenzisa iFontLab unokuchukumisa yonke into ukusuka kwiifitsha ezifana ne-OpenType ukuya kwi-TrueType. I-Fontlab mhlawumbi sesona sixhobo soyilo lwefonti esetyenziswayo okwangoku. Kwaye, kumntu oqalayo isenokubhideka ngojongano oluphelelwe lixesha xa kuthelekiswa nabanye abahleli bale mihla.
Oonobumba
Fontographer ingaba isixhobo esigqibeleleyo kumyili we-novice okanye umyili wedijithali. Ujongano lwayo luthandeka ngakumbi, kwaye izixhobo eziyimfuneko zibandakanyiwe kunye nokuthiywa kwemithombo ekulula ukufikelela kuyo.
Kufuneka kukhankanywe ukuba Fontrographer ayinayo eminye yeempawu eziphambili Ukuba ine-FontLab, inokwenzeka njani into yokuba i-OpenType ingabikho.
IiGlyphs kunye neRobofont
Iikhompyuter zeDesktop ziphumelele i-typography yasimahla kwaye yenza ukuba ifikeleleke kuye wonke umntu. IiGlyphs kunye neRobofont zinokuthathwa njengezixhobo zanamhlanje zabayili befonti.
Zombini izixhobo zine ujongano olutsala umdla kwaye abaninzi abayili ababemadolw’ anzima ekuqaleni ngoku bazithathela ingqalelo. Zombini ziyavela kwaye sele zinoluntu oluzinikeleyo lwabasebenzisi kunye nabaphuhlisi.
Iinguqulelo zamva nje kulula ukuzifunda kwaye ekwaziyo ukuvelisa iifonti ezikumgangatho ophezulu. Zombini zixhasa ifomathi ye-UFO eyaziwayo.
IiGlyphs ha ujike inkqubo yokwenza ifonti ibe yinto enika umdla ngojongano oludityanisiweyo lokuzoba kunye nokuhlela. Inokwenza ngokuzenzekelayo iimpawu ze-OpenType kunye nezikripthi ezinzima ezifana nesiArabhu.
IiGlyphs zicwangciswa kusetyenziswa iPython, kunye Ukongeza iifitsha ezintsha kulula kakhulu. Umzekelo ocacileyo wento enokwenziwa kukuvula, ukuguqula nokuthumela ngaphandle ifonti ye-OTF kunye nokugcina yonke into ngaphandle kwesidingo sokuba nolwazi lobugcisa malunga neefonti.
Kwaye, ngelixa iiGlyphs ingumhleli ochazwe kwangaphambili, iRoboFont ngumhleli oguquguqukayo obhalwe kwiPython. Ivumela lungisa ngokupheleleyo ujongano lwakho kunye nolwakhiwo ukuze abasebenzisi bazenzele ezabo izisombululo ngokweprojekthi abantywiliselwa kuyo.
IiGlyphs kunye neRobofont azinazo zonke iimpawu zesibini sokuqala, kodwa zivela ngokukhawuleza, zinokukhubazeka. ayisebenzi kwiWindows kwaye bayenza kuphela kwiMac.
