Document Audit: Font Audit
- Jenny Seifert (Unlicensed)
Once your document check is complete, as described in “Reviewing Your Document,” you’re ready to begin using eXtyles.
The first step in using eXtyles is Document Audit, the first item on the eXtyles menu/ribbon, which contains the Font Audit menu item. Select Font Audit to perform the Document Audit.
A dialog box will appear listing all the fonts that have been used in your document and whether they are supported in eXtyles.
When the Font Audit dialog box appears, review the list of fonts. Fonts fall into one of the following categories:
Windows fonts that are supported by eXtyles
Special character fonts that are supported by eXtyles
Macintosh fonts that are supported by eXtyles
Special character fonts that are not supported by eXtyles
Follow any instructions that appear in the dialog box. For most documents, reviewing the list is all that is necessary, because most common fonts (e.g., Times, Arial, Courier, Symbol) are fully supported. In general, any font with a standard character layout is fully supported. Font Audit detects when an author may have used a special character font that is not supported by eXtyles.
Font Audit should be run on each document prior to Activation with eXtyles (Activation is described in the following section, “Activate and Normalize”). If you run Font Audit after document Activation, the results may not be accurate, and you will see the following warning dialog:
In some cases, you will see “????” or numeric characters as the name of a font. This usually happens when an author has used MS Mincho or PmingLiU. You should be alert for special character problems in this situation, but usually none are reported.
