About eXcellent Screen Fonts (XSF)XSF-Fonts are OpenType or TrueType fonts with an excellent appearance on screen at small sizes or low resolutions – especially engineered and optimized as a response of the continuous increasing demand for exceptionally readable typefaces on computer screens using Microsoft® Windows operating systems. Of course the printing quality on paper stays as high as you are used to it. What is the difference between an XSF Font and a standard TrueType? It is the special hand-tuning process, performed by highly trained font engineers and designers, called “Hinting”. Hinting allows a specific optimization of each character by setting specific instructions for screen appearance – dependent upon the point size on screen! A quite unknown fact: almost all system fonts provided with the Microsoft® Windows operating systems have been manually hinted – generally with an extensive effort to fit the high readability demands of digital office communication. Click here to see the complete list of XSF-Fonts. Our XSF-Fonts are marked with the addition “eXcellent Screen Font (XSF)”. |
