Proofing Multiple Fonts / Styles



<aside> 📨 Is there a page layout you depend on that can’t be created in Font Proofer? Please let me know by emailing a screenshot and describing how that layout helps you evaluate some aspect of your type. Anything you send will be strictly confidential.

Overview

Font Proofer includes a variety of customizable page layouts for you to choose from.

A proof is composed of “sections”—each with its own layout and content. Most layouts allow their content to overflow to mutiple pages.

Change a section’s layout by double-clicking the section to open the Section Editor, then choosing a different layout from the menu button.

Click on the ➕ plus button to choose which layout your new section will use.

Customize with Design Attributes

Design attributes allow you to customize certain parameters of a section’s layout, such as the font size, OpenType features, or number of columns. You’ll find them in the Design area of the Section Editor (which you can open by double-clicking on a section in the Section List).

Each layout supports different design attributes. For example, the text-based layouts support the OpenType design attribute, but it doesn’t make sense for the Glyph Grid or Image/PDF layouts.
