History

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:

Myriad Pro
Myriad Pro Black
Myriad Pro Black Cond
Myriad Pro Black SemiCond
Myriad Pro Black SemiExt
Myriad Pro Cond
Myriad Pro Light
Myriad Pro Light Cond
Myriad Pro Light SemiCond
Myriad Pro Light SemiExt
Myriad Pro SemiCond
Myriad Pro SemiExt

The other fonts in this family must be selected by choosing a menu name and then a style option following the guide below.

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.
