FrankHoeft Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Hi, I just purchased a handwiting font "LiebeHeide" by LiebeFonts and it looks like that it isn't working (it is invisible, no color) in Publisher. The font uses contextual alternates to get a more realistic outcome. Do you know if this is a common problem, is there any hack I can make it work?

Do you know if it is in their wishlist and if there is a aprox. implementation date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome, Frank. I'm afraid I don't remember if there's been a commitment by Serif or not to include color font support in a later version or not. There's at least two longish threads on the subject that I haven't read in quite a while so a "commitment statement" may have been made. That said, it will likely be some time before it happens. I also have that font--I haven't found the right project for it specifically but have used a couple of other color fonts in jobs. With no means of altering the colors easily, they are not something I even bring to a client's attention as an option. Best regards, Mike LiebeFonts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankHoeft Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 All right, I was just curious. I neither plan to use that font professionally, but it is the first time I see a handwriting font, which seems much more real than others I have seen. Thanks again for your clarification.
