URW Bookman L looked great, except that its digit 1 is extremely similar to Georgia's lowercase L:įor me this was a deal-breaker as my original motivation to replace Georgia's digits was that its 0 digit is extremely similar to lowercase O.Ĭharter, by the same designer as Georgia and somewhat similar in spirit. Palatino/Palladio - also narrow and worse kerning. Times was not bad but narrower than Georgia (I didn't seriously test it cross-platform though).
#Add font georgia pro license
I considered system font stacks that are (approximately) cross-platform (there aren't many serif ones), and Georgia-resembling fonts with an open license (so subsetting is legally OK): For example So from what font to take the digits? You should also consider what happens on systems that don't have Georgia (android and many linuxes) and/or don't have your replacement font (not a problem if it's a webfont).
#Add font georgia pro code
Looks fine on platforms lacking Georgia (android, ubuntu).Īnd now kerning looks OK everywhere! (No idea why kerning is better - is it a different code path or just slightly different font - perhaps Font Squirrel did some magic?) Select an appropriate font size in the Font Size drop-down list. Select an appropriate font in the Default font for Add Text drop-down list. How do I change the font in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Go to Edit > Preferences > Content Editing > Font Options. => Replaced digits everywhere except IE8 (I only used WOFF format which is IE9+, probably could work with the right EOT incantation) ĭidn't inhibit Georgia for other characters anywhere Right-click on the selected text, and choose Set Font from the right-click menu. Note especially "0th" and "4rd" on the italic lines.Ī webfont subsetted to include only the characters 0-9. The Google Web Fonts catalog might not be that extensive, but it has all the major fonts.
(this is Bitstream Charter, Chrome on Ubuntu)
#Add font georgia pro full
I also tried a "double sandwitch" of Georgia without digits, only digits, full Georgia - I hoped this will make Firefox at least use Georgia for everything - but it failed in weird ways.Īlso, I noticed that digit-letter kerning was too tight with most fonts and platforms, e.g.: What's worse is Firefox which ignored unicode-range but didn't invalidate the whole resulting in everything using the font I wanted only for digits. IE8 doesn't support it and shows only Georgia that's OK. Unfortunately I never got it to work cross-browser. (top is Palatino/Palladio digits, Georgia bottom is pure Georgia) Clean and effecient - the replacement font can reference system fonts or webfonts (which some browsers will skip loading if no characters use them). There are 2 easy ways to do this in a with limited unicode-range. See for all my experiments (most screenshots are Chrome on Ubuntu with Georgia installed, look for crossbrowsertesting links for cross-platform screenshots) You can test the combo at (feel free to edit). I ended up using Charter digits, as a webfont. I also wanted this and decided to use Georgia for most chars but take digits from another font.
