常见问题
什么是 PT3 字体,它与 PostScript Type 3 技术有什么关系?
PT3 文件表示一种 PostScript Type 3 字体,使用不受限制的 PostScript 绘图命令描述每个字形。
与 Type 1 不同,Type 3 允许在每个字形定义中进行完全编程。
这种灵活性使 PT3 成为一种实验性和艺术性的字体格式。
尽管存在Type 1,为什么最初会创建Type 3字体?
Type 3提供了一个完全开放的环境,设计师可以使用阴影、图案和任意图形。
Adobe restricted Type 1’s internals, but Type 3 allowed complete creative freedom.
它作为一个沙盒,用于探索高级矢量效果。
为什么与Type 1字体相比,PT3字体缺乏提示?
Type 3从未考虑屏幕可读性,并且不包含提示机制。
因此,字形在小尺寸下可能显得模糊或扭曲。
这一限制促成了Type 1及后来的OpenType的主导地位。
为什么PT3字体可以在字形内部包含颜色和阴影?
Type 3字形使用通用的PostScript操作符定义,包括填充、描边、剪裁和颜色命令。
