XPress 6 and 7 actually work in a similar fashion. The italic style is created by skewing the glyphs about 12 degrees to the right.Įven though this approach to faux styles is ‘safe’ and leads to proper PDF or PostScript output, it is not recommended to do this.The thickness of the outline is calculated from the size of the text. A bold style is created by adding an outline around the glyphs.QuarkXPress 8 builds such styles artificially: you select ‘Avant Garde Black’ for some text and then set the font style to ‘Bold’ even though an Avant Garde Black Bold typeface does not exist. A synthetic font is a font that is created artifically, e.g. QuarkXPress 8 handles synthetic fonts, which are sometimes called artificial or faux bold and italic, in such a way that outputting them should be no problem. This can avoid issues with staircasing in the edges of images. It still flattens transparency in imported PDF files though.Īs with previous releases, users should change Quark’s default fill from ‘white’ to ‘None’ in the Preferences/Tools section. QuarkXPress 8.1 is the first release that offers output support for native transparency. This page contains a collection of notes on the way PDF is supported in QuarkXPress.
