Master Fonts

The Master Fonts is the storage area of all fonts used in documentations.

IGP:Digital Publisher includes a Font Manager module which once set up handles all of the font CSS mapping issues in the IGP:Digital Publisher print templates and documents.

IGP:Digital Publisher comes with a base set of free and Open Source fonts. You must upload and manage any other fonts you want to use in your documents.

Setting up a new font in Font Manager

Setting up a new font consists of carrying out the following steps:

1. Create a font-family
2. Upload the font faces
3. Assigning the font faces to the font-family

The font is then ready to be used in any document. Behind the scenes the full CSS-3 statements have been generated and are waiting to be applied to any document.

1. Create a font-family

Font files must be mapped to a font-family statement to be useful in IGP:Digital PublisherCSS templates. 

You can map any fonts to any font-family name, but it is generally most useful to use the original font-family name as assigned by the font foundry. For example, the Adobe Bembo font faces include:

BemboStd-ExtraBoldItalic.otf

BemboStd-SemiBold.otf

BemboStd-SemiBoldItalic.otf

BemboStd-Bold.otf

7. You can repeat this for all your font files. 
8. When you have finished uploading font files. Click Cancel to return to the Maintenance Fonts page.

3. Assigning font-face to a font-family

You must associate a font file with a role in a font-family that will be useful in a CSS product sense.

Assigning a font-family to a document font style

IGP:Digital Publisher pre-assigns a wide range of font-family roles in the print template. It makes use of the CSS properties to simplify both automated and manual maintenance of complex font to document style relationships. The font-family styles map directly to IGP:FoundationXHTML.

The pre-defined font-families are:

• Bodytext. Applied from the galley-rw statement.
• Body-alt. Applied from F2: Bodytext.
• TitlesAndHeaders. Use this selector to apply a font-family that is different to the bodytext to Titles and Headers. 
• Titles. Use this selector if you are going to use a different font-family on document / Book Titles and headers.
• Heads. Applied from F5: Use this selector if you are using different font-families for bodytext, titles and headers. 
• A-Head. Applied from F5: Use this selector if you are going to use a different font for A-Head
• B-Head. 
• C-Head. 
• D-Head. 
• E-Head. 
• Running-heads
• Symbols
• Ornaments
• Math

You can add your own special font-family - style definitions, or use direct font definitions onto a CSS selector at any time.
