- How can I use your fonts with CSS @fontface embedding?
- Many of our fonts are available in webfont formats, and can be embedded to a website either through a webfont service, or by purchasing a SPECIAL LICENSE to install the webfonts directly to the client's server. Please contact for more information.
- Can I use a third party tool to convert your fonts to webfont formats?
- No! This is not allowed in the End User License Agreement.
- Can I use the fonts in other web embedding technologies, such as Cufon?
- No, this is not allowed by the End User License Agreement.
- I cannot write Greek in both Font Tester, and the intro page of your site
- The Font Tester and the intro page of our site use Flash technology.
Under Mac OS X, due to a known incompatibility of Flash, Greek is not supported properly, with a Unicode keyboard.
This problem should be corrected in the next version of the program while it does not exist in a Windows environment.
To overcome this problem in Mac, you can:
a. try the fonts on "preview", which uses different technology
b. write Greek words or phrases on a Unicode supported application and then copy + paste it to the Font Tester
c. or, install a non-unicode keyboard for Greek (Greek script) that is supported by Flash, although you should read carefully the terms of use of this keyboard, as our company bears no responsibility for any problem that may be presented by this software.
Update: Latest versions of Adobe Flash Player resolve this incompatibility.
- I can not print a sample of the font from the Font Tester.
- The Font Tester uses Flash technology.
Due to an incompatibility of Mozilla Firefox with Flash applications (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134002), it is not possible to print and print preview using this browser. To overcome this problem we recommend the use of another browser for printing and print previewing in this application.
- What fonts can I use on a Mac with OS 9 operating system?
- You need PostScript Type 1 fonts. Several of our fonts are available in this format. Contact us for more information.
- I want to write only Greek and English, what fonts do I need?
- We suggest the use of TrueType, whenever they are available. They work in all applications and are usually cheaper.
If you want to use Open Type Pro, you should know that they are not supported by all applications, while if they are not equipped with special typographic features that make them stand out (features), they have, practically, no difference from the PostScript files.
- With many of your fonts I cannot write full western, especially Swedish, why?
- Because these are the Greek versions of well-known international fonts where for reasons of intellectual property only the characters that are presented in detail are contained.
The Western, CE, Cyrillic, etc. character sets are like the Greek, a part of a font where sometimes it can include up to several thousand characters. However, some fonts are already available in Open Type Pro versions that support up to 70 different languages.
- Font Problems in Greek versions of Adobe CS1
- In some cases, a Postscript or OpenType font, although operating correct in the Adobe CS2, it does not write Greek in CS1. This is due to support files with names IntlFontDB.txt, IntlFontDBUser.txt, IntlFontDBWinsoft.txt that consider every font that has Postscript outlines (Postscript or OpenType CFF) and refers to these files by name, that has the wrong encoding. These files are located in Library> Application Support> Adobe> Fonts> Required and the entries of the fonts which are indicated should at least be removed, since they prevent the proper functioning of the fonts. Not included in versions CS2, CS3, etc.
- Convert text from Mac OS 9 into Unicode
- Whether the text is monotonic or polytonic, its conversion is easy with the Polytonistis of Magenta. For more information visit http://www.magenta.gr
- Fonts with weights Book, Normal and Regular
- Some programs may not recognize the weights Book, Normal and Regular - if any - in a font and regard them as the same weight. You should be very cautious in this case because the font can be replaced by another weight during printing or even "crash". The problem is usually solved in upgrades of the programs which are free of charge, although there are cases of programs that while they correct the problem by upgrading, the restore it in future versions.
- A large number of installed fonts
- Although in recent operating systems several fonts can be installed simultaneously, a partial or selective activation of fonts through a font management program is suggested.
- Can I send open files with the fonts in Prepress, Printing, or another partner?
- You are not allowed to send the fonts to pre-press services, printing, or another partner as defined by the license agreement that the customer accepts when purchasing the fonts.
- Could you send me a font for use in drafts for a customer?
- We do not send sample of the fonts. Apart from presenting and comparing fonts, PDF files with details of the font that includes samples of texts, titles, etc. are available.
- What is Unicode?
- Unicode is a type of encoding that proposes a unique number for every character.
Basically, computers handle numbers. They store letters and other characters representing each of them with a number. Before the invention of Unicode, there were hundreds of different codepages. Due to size constraints, however, none of them could fit enough characters.
In addition, these codepages were in conflict. Thus, two codepages could easily use the same number for two different characters, or use different numbers for the same character. Each computer had to support many different codepages; while each time data was transferred between different operating systems or codepages, the data were likely to deteriorate.
The Unicode proposes a unique number for every character, regardless of the operating system, regardless of the software, regardless of the language. Supported by many operating systems, all new Internet browsers, and many other products. The emergence of Unicode codepage, and the availability of tools that support it, is the most important recent development in software technology.
With Unicode, one single product or a single web site can communicate with different operating systems in different languages and countries without the need for reprogramming. It is thus possible to transfer data between many different systems without the risk of deterioration.
The Consortium Unicode is a charitable institution founded to develop, expand, and pass on the use of Unicode codepage that defines the representation of text in modern software products and standardizations. Many companies and organizations of the international computer and software industry are members of the Consortium Unicode.

- Which fonts can be Unicode?
- TrueType and both OpenType. This way, and if the application supports Unicode, we can write in many languages, if the appropriate keyboard is installed, with only one font.
