Depends how the font was designed. I put in *and remove* guidelines frequently when making a font. Am I supposed to document all these different guidelines I use at different stages while making the font? The more important vertical guides usually correspond to primary and secondary alignment zones and at least in pfb and cff fonts these values *are* stored in the font file along with other useful thins like stem widths etc. For TTF - since custom tables can be added to TTF fonts, if there is a real need it should be easy enough to store info for things like guidelines in the final font file as George suggests. - Chris _______________________________________________ Openfontlibrary mailing list Openfontlibrary@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openfontlibrary
