Ex Ponto® Pro

Release Notes

Introduction

Ex Ponto, an Adobe® Originals type family designed by acclaimed calligrapher, type designer and

artist Jovica Veljović, is a spirited script typeface. Based on the rhythm of Veljović’s handwriting, Ex

Ponto combines the vigor of handwritten letters with the grace of meticulously cra ed script typog-

raphy. Veljović began by drawing calligraphic characters on rough paper and then carefully modii ed

these ragged-edged letterforms to produce graceful, balanced characters. All along its weight axis,

from light to bold, Ex Ponto sparkles with the nuances of the handwriting from which it originated.

Designed primarily for use at display sizes, Ex Ponto also works well in text as small as  points.  e

OpenType® version, Ex Ponto Pro, adds support for central European languages and merges the previ-

ously separate supplemental fonts into the base fonts, to provide extended typographic features.

OpenType

OpenType fonts are compact single-i le cross-platform fonts, which can have extended language

support based on Unicode, and enhanced typographic layout features. For OpenType information,

including the OpenType User Guide, the OpenType Readme (application compatibility notes), and

OpenType Specimen Book PDFs, visit Adobe’s Web site at http://www.adobe.com/type/opentype .

OpenType feature highlights:

 e most prominent OpenType layout features in these fonts are: contextual and stylistic alternates,

a stylistic set, standard and discretionary ligatures, lining and oldstyle i gures, case forms, and “all

alternates.” Note that the choice of which OpenType features are supported is specii c to each appli-

cation.

For a full showing of all the glyphs available in this font, see the Glyph Complement PDF, available

online at http://www.adobe.com/type (from there, go to the page for this specii c font package).

Style links & font menus

 e weight links in this family are: Regular to Bold, with Light not being linked. In both Windows

and Mac OS applications, using the bold style button on weights that do not link to a heavier weight

is not recommended; doing so will either have no ef ect, or result in “faked” further bolding, which

will usually produce inferior screen and print results.

In many Windows® applications, instead of every font appearing on the menu, italic styles and the

bold weight are accessible only by use of the italic and bold style buttons. For example, you could

have all three weights of Ex Ponto Pro installed, but in your font menu you might see only the Light

and Regular; the Bold weight would be accessed by selecting the Regular and using the bold style

button.

On the Mac OS, although each font appears as a separate entry on the font menu, users may also

select fonts by means of style links. Selecting the “base weight” and then using the style links (as

described above for Windows) enhances cross-platform document compatibility with many appli-

cations, such as Microso ® Word and Adobe PageMaker®, although it is unnecessary with more

sophisticated Adobe applications such as recent versions of Illustrator®, Photoshop® or InDesign®. One

should not, however, select either a font that has no style link, or a style-linked “bold” directly from

the font menu (such as the Bold for Ex Ponto Pro), and then additionally use the bold styling button.

 is will produce a simulated bold ef ect as described above.  e same is also true for italics; never

select an italic font (or a script font such as Ex Ponto) and then apply an italic style.
