History
An Adobe Originals design, and Adobe's first historical revival, Adobe Garamond is a digital interpretation of the roman types of Claude Garamond and the italic types of Robert Granjon. Since its release in 1989, Adobe Garamond has become a typographic staple throughout the world of desktop typography and design. Adobe type designer Robert Slimbach has captured the beauty and balance of the original Garamond typefaces while creating a typeface family that offers all the advantages of a contemporary digital type family. With the introduction of OpenType font technology, Adobe Garamond has been reissued as a Pro type family that takes advantage of OpenType's advanced typographic capabilities. Now this elegant type family can be used with even greater efficiency and precision in OpenType-savvy applications such as Adobe InDesign.
Menu Names And Style Linking
In many Windows® applications, instead of every font appearing on
the menu, fonts are grouped into style-linked sets, and only the name of
the base style font for a set is shown in the menu. The italic and the
bold weight fonts of the set (if any) are not shown in the font menu, but can still be
accessed by selecting the base style font, and then using the italic
and bold style buttons. In this family, such programs will show only the
following base style font names in the menu:
Adobe Garamond Pro
Adobe Garamond Pro Bold
The other fonts in this family must be selected by choosing a menu name
and then a style option following the guide below.
| Menu Name | | plus Style Option... | | selects this font |
| Adobe Garamond Pro | | [none] | | Adobe Garamond Pro Regular |
| Adobe Garamond Pro | | Italic | | Adobe Garamond Pro Italic |
| Adobe Garamond Pro | | Bold | | Adobe Garamond Pro Semibold |
| Adobe Garamond Pro | | Bold, Italic | | Adobe Garamond Pro Semibold Italic |
| | | | | |
| Adobe Garamond Pro Bold | | [none] | | Adobe Garamond Pro Bold |
| Adobe Garamond Pro Bold | | Italic | | Adobe Garamond Pro Bold Italic |
| | | | | |
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 a base style font and then using the style links (as described
above for Windows) enhances cross-platform document compatibility with
many applications, such as Microsoft® 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 a base font which has no style-linked
variant, and then use the bold or italic styling button. Doing so will
either have no effect, or result in programmatic bolding or slanting of
the base font, which will usually produce inferior screen and print
results.
