![]() The original Windupdate was released in October 2018. NOTE: If you are sill running Windows 10 version 1809 you are strongly advised to update it. Note that Microsoft has said it will stop distributing and updating Windows RT after Janu(EOL Date). See also Phones and tablets vs desktop computers? below. In Android and Windows RT devices fonts are installed into individual apps rather than system-wide. Earlier versions of Android do not support OTF fonts but as of v1.6 OTF is supported. The fonts can be installed on Apple iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod) using apps such as AnyFont or iFont available from the Apple Store. Please note however that Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7 are no longer actively supported by Microsoft. The fonts work in Windows (Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10 but excluding Windows 10S and Windows 10 in S-Mode – see below), Macintosh (MacOS 9, MacOS X) and Unix. Note that most Apple text-capable programs ( Pages, TextEdit, Mail, iBooks, iBooks Author etc) provide access to the MacOS Fonts Panel however surprisingly Preview does not. Note that in Pages the automatic guidelines are ON by default (the opposite to Microsoft Word) – they can easily be turned off in the MacOS X Fonts panel which you can open with keystroke COMMAND-T, then select "Typography." in the Fonts Panel Actions menu (the little cog-wheel) and UNtick the "Contextual Alternates" box. ![]() This restored functionality in the latest version of Pages unlocks the full power of our fonts. In fact, Pages is now back to being SUPERIOR to Microsoft Word in its OpenType support – particularly because it is capable of applying more than one Stylistic Set at a time ( Word can only have one at a time). Users of Apple Pages should note that versions 5.0 through 5.5 had severely degraded OpenType support however, as of version 5.6 (Jan 2016), Pages once again supports the FULL range of OpenType features that are required to make all of our fonts' functions work – control over the automatic guidelines, cursive joining levels and alternate letterforms/numbers/joins. The fonts will work at the basic level only. Schools please note - some software very commonly used in schools ie SMART Notebook (Mac, Win), Promethean ActivInspire (Mac, Win), SAP Crystal Reports (Win) do NOT support the OpenType features that make many important functions of our fonts work eg cursive joining, horizontal guidelines, alternate numbers etc. See also our FAQ item Publisher WordArt versus Word WordArt? below. Also please note that your versions of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Publisher for Windows must be no older than 2010 to take advantage of all features in the fonts and Microsoft Word for Mac should be no older than 2011. See also Phones and tablets vs desktop computers? below.īe aware that while the MacOS and Windows 10 versions of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Publisher fully support the features in our fonts, the other Microsoft Office applications Excel and PowerPoint have only limited support - you can use our fonts in these applications but there is no control over guidelines or cursive joining. ![]() This unfortunate situation may improve with time but it currently has the effect of limiting the usability of some of the extra features in our fonts on phone and tablets. It is important to note that with some MacOS and Windows 10 applications that also have an app version for iOS, iPadOS and Android (eg Microsoft Office), the phone/tablet versions are usually scaled-back and less capable than the full MacOS/Windows 10 versions. These are the currently recommended applications for our fonts: Our fonts will work like any other font in all applications but to fully display all of the fonts’ built-in capabilities, the application must support the following OpenType features: Contextual Alternates, Standard Ligatures and multiple, simultaneous Stylistic Sets. ![]() What applications will the fonts work in? ![]()
