Draconian font full#
The full Adobe Type Library as provided in our Font Folio product was reissued in OpenType CFF format many years ago and is still available from Adobe. OpenType fonts have been the official replacement for Type 1 fonts from Adobe for over 20 years now. Also important to understand is that many font vendors specifically have restrictions in their EULAs (End User License Agreements) against modifying fonts or converting to other formats for any fonts you have licensed from them. There are some third party applications that purport to do this, although you should be aware that often these “converters” are somewhat lossy in terms of losing the “hinting” that provides proper rendition at small magnifications as well as some font metrics.
Draconian font software#
Ironically, Microsoft still supports Type 1 fonts under MacOS.Īdobe does not provide any software (“official” or otherwise) for converting existing Type 1 fonts to any other format including OpenType CFF. This decision was Microsoft's and absolutely not Adobe's! Currently, Microsoft applications support TrueType, OpenType TrueType, and OpenType CFF (OpenType with Type 1 outlines) fonts. Any existing content formatted with a Type 1 font is now displayed (and often printed) using a substitution font (and not necessarily what you might expect). Microsoft ended all support for use of Type 1 fonts beginning with Office 2013 under Windows (all versions).

In Excel and Visio, Type 1 fonts are missing in the font selection dialog.Print-outs of the same documents are o.k.

However, when I use a Type 1 font on my text, the display on the screen is corrupted (the Type 1 fonts are replaced by some other font but the character width does not match).
Draconian font windows 10#
I use MS Windows 10 (1903) 64-bit (German localized version) with several Type 1 fonts installed.
