History
Inscriptions honoring public figures or dedicating temples were intended for public viewing in ancient Greece. Geometric letterforms, free of adornment, were chiseled into the stone. These very basic shapes are the inspiration for Lithos Pro, an Adobe Originals typeface designed by Carol Twombly. This flexible design combines simplified character shapes with a playful asymmetric quality that works well for a large variety of display jobs. The original Lithos design has been extremely popular since its 1989 release. To meet user demand, Lithos Pro, released in 2000, adds true Greek language support, plus small caps and small figures.
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:
Lithos Pro Extra Light
Lithos Pro Light
Lithos 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 |
| Lithos Pro Extra Light | | [none] | | Lithos Pro Extra Light |
| | | | | |
| Lithos Pro Light | | [none] | | Lithos Pro Light |
| Lithos Pro Light | | Bold | | Lithos Pro Bold |
| | | | | |
| Lithos Pro Regular | | [none] | | Lithos Pro Regular |
| Lithos Pro Regular | | Bold | | Lithos Pro Black |
| | | | | |
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.
