Font designers have to build the fonts, which requires expanding the way they think about their fonts. OpenType fonts may include as many alternate versions of each character as the designer can imagine, but making use of the advanced features in OpenType requires two things:ġ. (Have fun looking through the text for other examples-being a font geek isn’t as embarrasing as it used to be. To see other amazing examples of Adios Script Pro in use, see Veer’s Web site, where you can also buy this font for $99. The two “l”s in “technically” are also different from the “l”s in other words, such as “allow”. Note also the “d” and “s” in “descenders” are different from how they look in other words. For example, the “s” in “Paul’s” is different from the one in the next word. Notice how the same letter looks different when it appears in different locations within a word. One of the best examples I’ve seen recently is Alejandro Paul’s Adios Script:

The result is something that looks less “computerized” and more similar to the expert handiwork of typographers. For example, an “a” at the beginning of a word could look quite different from one in middle of a word, or at the end of a word. The idea was that the font could automatically substitute different glyphs (character shapes), depending on nearby characters. When the OpenType font format was announced more than 12 years ago, one of its most promising features was a new level of intelligence built into the font.
