FONTLOG for Cantarell beta release
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
This file provides detailed information on the Cantarell font
|
||||
software. This information should be distributed along with the
|
||||
Cantarell fonts and any derivative works.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Font Information
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The Cantarell typeface family was designed during my study of MA
|
||||
Typeface Design [1] in the Department of Typography at the University
|
||||
of Reading (UK). Its homepage is http://abattis.org/cantarell
|
||||
|
||||
The typeface is designed as a contemporary Humanist sans serif, and
|
||||
was developed for on-screen reading; in particular, reading web pages
|
||||
on an HTC Dream mobile phone [2].
|
||||
|
||||
That device runs Google Android [3], and therefore has a web browser
|
||||
supporting the exciting new web fonts feature known as @font-face
|
||||
[4]. As my very first typeface design, the typeface has many faults,
|
||||
yet it achieves the goal of improving readability on this device.
|
||||
|
||||
Each font file currently contains 391 glyphs, and fully support the
|
||||
following writing systems: Basic Latin, Western European, Catalan,
|
||||
Baltic, Turkish, Central European, Dutch and Afrikaans. To date, Pan
|
||||
African Latin has only 33% glyph coverage.
|
||||
|
||||
Since the design is aimed at display on-screen at small sizes, the
|
||||
printed output (especially of the bold and oblique) may not work
|
||||
well. I hope to publish a set of fonts tuned to the needs of printing
|
||||
in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
This highlights my motivation for undertaking a study of typeface
|
||||
design: I believe it is essential that when we use digital tools, our
|
||||
freedom to use, understand, modify and share these tools is
|
||||
respected. Otherwise, when the tool does not work in the way that we
|
||||
need, we will be unable to fix it.
|
||||
|
||||
These fonts were developed using only such software, mainly FontForge
|
||||
[5]. Typeface designs are tools too, and therefore these font files
|
||||
are licensed in a way that respects your freedom—you are invited to
|
||||
extend them to meet your needs, such as to add the glyphs missing from
|
||||
your own writing systems, under the terms of the GNU General Public
|
||||
License [6].
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
development, you can buy a subscription at £5/month:

|

|
||||
This ZIP files contains the TTF fonts you can use on your desktop, and
|
||||
the source files you can modify. You may upload these fonts to your
|
||||
website, and for that I include EOT files for compatibility with
|
||||
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
|
||||
|
||||
Simply add the following lines to your CSS stylesheets, and place the
|
||||
EOT and TTF files in the same directory:
|
||||
|
||||
/* Just add the "cantarell" class to HTML elements you wish to use this typeface */
|
||||
@font-face {font-family:Cantarell; src:url("Cantarell-Regular.eot");}
|
||||
@font-face {font-family:Cantarell; src:url("Cantarell-Oblique.eot"); font-style:italic;}
|
||||
@font-face {font-family:Cantarell; src:url("Cantarell-Bold.eot"); font-weight:bold;}
|
||||
@font-face {font-family:Cantarell; src:url("Cantarell-BoldOblique.eot"); font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;}
|
||||
@font-face {font-family:Cantarell; src:url("Cantarell-Regular.ttf");}
|
||||
@font-face {font-family:Cantarell; src:url("Cantarell-Oblique.ttf"); font-style:italic;}
|
||||
@font-face {font-family:Cantarell; src:url("Cantarell-Bold.ttf"); font-weight:bold;}
|
||||
@font-face {font-family:Cantarell; src:url("Cantarell-BoldOblique.ttf"); font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;}
|
||||
.cantarell {font-family:Cantarell, sans-serif; line-height:1.8em;}
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: You can significantly speed up your page loading times by only
|
||||
including the Regular font. Web browsers will generate bold and
|
||||
oblique members of the typeface family from the regular when they are
|
||||
needed. This does not work as well for serif designs, but is fine
|
||||
for a sans serif typeface like Cantarell.
|
||||
|
||||
The original Spiro source file is the _master_ source, and from it
|
||||
the other files in the family were generated; the regular by
|
||||
converting the Spiro curves to PostScript cubic Bezier curves, and
|
||||
then to TrueType quadratic Bezier curves, and the others by
|
||||
performing bold and oblique machine-transformations with FontForge on
|
||||
the Bezier curve version. I will soon publish a "Reflection on
|
||||
Practice" document on the abattis.org/cantarell website that will
|
||||
explain this process in detail.
|
||||
|
||||
The EOT files were generated with http://code.google.com/p/ttf2eot/
|
||||
and have no root string restrictions or compression.

||||
