Compatibility and accessing special glyphs.
When a font is installed on your computer, it can be used with any program that allows you to create text. Fonts will work in Microsoft Office applications, Adobe software, and almost any other program with a text editor. For additional details on OTF special features and installing your new font, you'll need specific programs to access the additional glyphs.
We suggest that before you purchase a commercial version in order to use the additional glyphs, you should check if the program you use supports these features.
Actually, the easiest is to use Adobe Illustrator or InDesign — click on Text > Glyphs and you'll get the complete character map of the font. Adobe Photoshop, in its latest version (CC 2015), offers such a feature: click on Type > Panels > Glyphs panel or Window > Glyphs.
For any other program, please verify if you can access the character map. Hopefully, for any font with additional glyphs, we'll add a separate font file with only the alternates and a character map, so you can easily use them — even in Microsoft Word.
Usage rights, restrictions, and which license fits your project.
You can check our full breakdown of every license type, what's included, and pricing on our License page.
No, you are not allowed to share font files with your clients. If your client needs the font files themselves, encourage them to purchase or download fonts on this store directly.
Yes, you can create a physical or digital product with this font for up to 1,000 prints/sales. Once you go beyond 1,000 prints/sales, you're required to purchase an Extended License.
If you use fonts to create printable product templates (posters, business cards, logos, etc.), you are not allowed to provide the font files inside your template file.
However, you can convert text into outlined graphic objects to create designs that display across all media — as long as you don't include every character of the font.
Yes — you can use fonts on web pages if you purchase a Webfont License. This allows you to use CSS @font-face on one domain name only. If you want to embed the font on more than one domain, you're required to purchase another WebFont license.
No. You are not allowed to share files you've downloaded with friends, or make fonts available for download on your own site. Instead, direct people to purchase or download the font from Productype directly.
