Converting TrueType Fonts to OMEGA-Compatible Fonts
Changing the font title
You may choose to change a font name so that you can identify the converted TrueType font in
OMEGA. Assigning a name gives the converted font a name in OMEGA but does not change
the Windows TrueType font name. If no new font title is typed, the Windows font name is used.
Selecting character and % size
TrueType fonts come in a variety of sizes. To maintain size consistency during conversion, the
TrueType font converter uses the height line of the letter "H" as a template. Each font is
converted to 100% of the H height line unless you choose another percentage (50% to 150%).
You can choose characters other than the letter "H" as the height line template. When you
choose a different character, the font converts to 100% of that chosen character's height line.
Character Spacing
Character spacing is now available when using a converted TrueType font through Enter/Edit
Text. If you need custom character spacing in converted TrueType fonts, you can use the
disjoin option in the TrueType Font Converter, then run GSP Font Designer to finish creating
the font.
Assigning a font style selection
At the time you convert a True Type font into an OMEGA-compatible font you can select a Style
category for that font, for instance Script, EDGE or Highway. Refer to "Limiting and displaying
available fonts" for more information on using Style categories.
