The OpenType font file format is a format developed by Adobe and Microsoft to work on both Macintosh and
Windows computers
The benefits of the OpenType format are cross-platform compatibility, which means you can move font files
between Macintosh and Windows computers; the ability to support expanded character sets and layout
figures; and the capability for Web page designers to create high-quality on-screen fonts for online documents

With the Standard Only option selected, the standard set of ligatures that most typographers and font
designers determine are appropriate for the font are applied to text

combinations are combined when ligatures are applied
Trang 31© Paradigm Publishing, Inc.
The Number spacing option in the OpenType Features section is set at Default, which means the spacing
between numbers is determined by the font designer
You can choose Proportional, which adjusts the spacing for numbers with varying widths Three Microsoft
fonts—Candara, Constantia, and Corbel—use proportional number spacing by default
Use the Tabular option if you want to specify that each number is the same width This is useful in a situation
in which the numbers are set in columns and you want all of the numbers to align vertically

Apply Character Formatting - continued
Like the Number spacing option, the Number forms option is set at Default, which means the font designer
determines the number form
Change this option to Lining if you want all of the numbers to be the same height and not extend below the
baseline of the text
Generally, lining numbers are used in tables and forms because they are easier to read.
The Cambria, Calibri, and Consolas fonts use lining number forms by default.
