History
In 1987, Sumner Stone completed his designs for the Stone type family. ITC Stone solves the problem of mixing different styles of type on the same page. Most combined type styles, because they aren’t designed to work together, often have radically different characteristics such as cap heights, stem weights, and proportions. The ITC Stone family consists of three subfamilies, Serif, Sans, and Informal, each consisting of three weights plus matching italics. As a large integrated family, the Stone types can be mixed successfully with each other in newsletters, business correspondence, books, and packaging. ITC Stone Sans is a modern version of the “humanistic” sans-serif subcategory. In 1992, John Renner finished designing phonetic companion faces for ITC Stone Sans and ITC Stone Serif. They contain the linguistic symbols used by the International Phonetic Association, comprising more than 300 letters and diacritical marks, both historical and official. These typefaces are appropriate for dictionaries, language guides, linguistic texts, or wherever else spoken sounds need to be typographically represented.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:
ITC Stone Sans Std Bold
ITC Stone Sans Std Medium
ITC Stone Sans Std Phonetic
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 | ||
| ITC Stone Sans Std Bold | [none] | ITC Stone Sans Std Bold | ||
| ITC Stone Sans Std Bold | Italic | ITC Stone Sans Std Bold Italic | ||
| ITC Stone Sans Std Medium | [none] | ITC Stone Sans Std Medium | ||
| ITC Stone Sans Std Medium | Italic | ITC Stone Sans Std Medium Italic | ||
| ITC Stone Sans Std Medium | Bold | ITC Stone Sans Std Semibold | ||
| ITC Stone Sans Std Medium | Bold, Italic | ITC Stone Sans Std Semibold Italic | ||
| ITC Stone Sans Std Phonetic | [none] | ITC Stone Sans Std Phonetic | ||
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.
