What's a spanish font?

 

[Johnny Best]

There are certain keystrokes that give you the marks for spanish on most fonts.

Exactly. There should be an option to see all glyphs in your typeset. What program are you using?

If you use Adobe CC you can filter and select specific languages and writing systems in the online font resource.

If not, just search for fonts that support spanish, like so...

Wouldn't the alphabet we commonly use be considered Italian? It's one of the stubborn hold-overs of the Roman empire.

I don't think the search filter at Adobe Fonts' website works very well. When I select "English" in the "language and writing systems" in the search filter it fails to hide the dozens of Asian fonts Adobe continues to add to the library. Just about any halfway decent font file will contain the diacritical marks for Western and Eastern European languages.

I've never really used that "feature" I just noticed it the other day while I was in there looking for something to use besides Arial.

No. Albrecht Durer, german, drew out the upper case letters he saw on Roman temples in the 1500s.
But in 800AD a upper and lower case was called the Carolingian alphabet which Times Roman is taken from.
Use to have a book by Durer, The Shaping of Letters, but I have no idea where that has gone.

I'm confused. Why would a sign person need help downloading a font?

Musta been one of gutenberg's first books made after the bible was out on the market's best seller list.

I was just hoping the OP was having terminology issues, and meant he needed help "finding" (not downloading). But either way.... the font wont help with the translating.

Makes sense. Translations are tricky. Rare occasion we've needed something translated my wife contacted the university and asked.

Just look up an alt code table for your accent marks and such. Only one I recall is alt+168, but what more could you ask for¿¿¿

I could never get it to work right in Corel.

In Illy, all you need to do is open the glyph table, select the glyph, and then hit the copy button in the glyph window. Next, all you need to do is position your cursor within said line of text and paste. I believe you can also use ASCII protocols to insert glyphs.

I've heard of Spanish spellings but never a Spanish font.

 

[jcskikus]

Maybe you need an ALT CODE list like the one I just attached here. Otherwise, when you type, you need to use the insert character function in Flexi.

I love Durer, I am now going to look for this book!
