FontForge 調整字型在 Windows 的安裝顯示名稱

預設在 FontForge 裡 TTF 檔的 info 裡是 US 的 tag 不能輸入中文字，原來是要按 <new> ，就可以新增出 chinese(Taiwan) 的 tag ，即可在繁體中文的台灣正常預覽中文字。

雖然FontForge裡不能輸入中文字，但是可以先在其他編輯器裡輸入好中文字後，再回到FontForge裡做貼上。

沒有增加 chinese(Taiwan) 的 tag 字型檔案，會被作業系統當成英文字型。

在一個一個tag 在FontForge 裡按 <new> 新增，終於完成了某一個地區所需要的Tag 之後，想要處理其他地區，使用外部的文字編輯器會方便和有效率一些，使用方法是：

• 1：另存字型檔案為「資料夾格式」（存檔時，Directory 那個地方打勾）。
• 2：有了資料夾格式的FontForge 專案檔，使用文字編輯器也可以直接修改 FontForge 的字型資料夾裡的 font.props，複製原本第一個完成的地區，再直接修改地區的代碼，會比使用FontForge 的 GUI 界面加入來的快。

修改好的範例：

 FontForge 修改字型的 Font info (主選單 >> Element >> Font info…)

GUI 修改 Font Info… 的畫面：

只要增加 Family + Fullname 這 2個 tag 就可以了，但似乎有些電腦還會顯示成英文字型，建議再增加 Version ＋ Style 這2個 tag。

如果同一個字型只有一個風格的話，Family 和 fullname 會設的一樣，如果有多個風格，記得讓 Family 放在同一個名字。

最後匯出的檔案在繁中的Win7看的到預覽：

---

在修改為不同字重後，字型檔案的 Family 和 Fullname 的 2個 tag 修可能需要分別修改為不同的名稱，以避免在Windows 的情況下無法被作業系統識別，建議這2個tag 依照不同的語言別，填入適當的值：淡（Light)、標準（Regular）、適中（Medium）、半黑（Semi-Bold）。

套用上面的設定值後，在Windows 裡字體就可以正常顯示，而且也有自己的字體家族：

---

附註：本文所使用的字型均為測試用，各字型版權皆屬各字型公司所有，使用前請事先取得字型的合法授權。因為很重要，所以標註為紅色字。

後記：還是常常會出問題，強烈建議 English(US) 和其他語言都使用 “Preferred Family” + “Preferred Styles” 欄，才不會有字體消失的問題。

設定的「不夠完整」在遇到多個 style 在同一個 family 裡會出錯，建議「完整」的設定方式如下：

為了避免多個 style 擠在同一個 family 裡時，設定錯誤會造成其他style字體無法顯示和被選取，對照上圖的解法是：

• 所有的語系的 Family Name + Fullname Name請都使用一樣的值，使用較長的版本，例如字體名稱＋風格。
• 所有的語系都有要 Preferred Family 與 Preferred Styles 欄位。
