Font installation

For information on installing these fonts, see http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_fontinstall_en.

Ex Ponto, designed by acclaimed calligrapher, type designer and artist Jovica Veljovic, is a spirited script typeface. Based on the rhythm of Veljovic's handwriting, Ex Ponto combines the vigor of handwritten letters with the grace of meticulously crafted script typography. Veljovic began by drawing calligraphic characters on rough paper and then carefully modified these ragged-edged letterforms to produce graceful, balanced characters. 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 12 points. We know you'll have no trouble imagining any number of projects where the vibrant intensity of Ex Ponto will rivet your readers to the page or poster or package.

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:

Ex Ponto Pro Light
Ex Ponto Pro Regular

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
Ex Ponto Pro Light	[none]	Ex Ponto Pro Light

Ex Ponto Pro Regular	[none]	Ex Ponto Pro Regular
Ex Ponto Pro Regular	Bold	Ex Ponto Pro Bold

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.
