TrentL Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Is there any info on how they actually do this? It seems to be something with ligatures. But is there any programmatic logic available to font developers in the OpenType spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai555 Posted September 28, 2023 Author Share Posted September 28, 2023 The free down load I got seems limited to Pie and bar charts. Here is a hollow pie chart. Make sure the A at the end of your numbers is coloured white. Don't forget to create assets out your charts for mock ups and templates.
