download the whole freemix package using “Clone or download”, “Download ZIP”.The multi-layered glyphs in Sauna Dingbats became easy to use, due to a clever OpenType-feature (Discretionary Ligatures).Some Python scripts to be used with the Glyphs font editor, written by Tim Ahrens. Sauna speaks Abenaki till Zulu, and 200 other languages in between. Sauna, oh oh Sauna, the swashy ligatures (ch, cl, fb, kk, sh, zz, etc, etc.) are inserted by default because they are now build into the Ligatures feature of all Sauna Swash-fonts (an OpenType-feature which is activated by default).But remember: in the best cases the webfonts will still look different than the desktop fonts because of this different OpenType-code. The desktop font have the original, super intelligent version. This modified, little bit simplified code is only included in the webfonts. However, a modified GSUB code was necessary to make our über-intelligent Liza also look rather smart in a browser due to technical restrictions of browsers. Liza was already loaded to the max, additions were not possible. Liza is basically a technical update, no visual consequences for desktop fonts.And Auto now talks Anutan, Cimbrian, Hopi, Tokelauan and 200 other languages. ![]() Depending on the amount of styles you have got installed, they will all appear in a nice order in the submenu of Auto Pro. ![]() Instead of having 3 different families (Auto 1 & Auto 2 & Auto 3), these new Auto styles have been reorganized into just 1 family called “Auto Pro”. Auto now has all 4 figures styles as an OpenType-feature (Tabular and Proportional & Old Style and Lining) and some other new OpenType-features.This difference varies per font, per app and per platform. If you replace the old version of a font with the new, updated version, be aware that text in your documents might reflow, you might experience differences in metrics (different linespacing and different width of some characters) and x-heights, and not even to mention that many glyphs have different (= improved) outlines too. Please note: these new fonts are not (100%) backwards compatible with their previous versions. Some minor technical issues were fixed (like PDF-export problems in exotic environments).Which means that in applications which use the ‘Bold’ and ‘Italic’ buttons, you need to select every style through the font menu instead of clicking and. These new fonts are not style-linked at all anymore.These new metrics are as safe as it can get, and are different for web than for desktop fonts. Clipping issues were already history, but contemporary metrics settings vary from 5 years old ‘best practices’. Desktop-safe and web-safe metrics, as cross-app and cross-platform safe as possible. ![]() The fonts are as cross-platform as possible, but please note that there is one known technical issue with MS Office.
