Setting fonts infos

To make sure that applications as the Adobe Suite or Microsoft Office perceive a group of fonts as part of the same family, it is necessary to set the info of each font in a specific way:

Here is a synthetical table with a very traditional setup:

familyName styleName styleMapStyle usWeight italicAngle
MyFont Regular Regular 400 -
MyFont Bold Bold 700 -
MyFont Italic Italic 400 7
MyFont Bold Italic Bold Italic 700 7

As mentioned above in the article, you might decide to choose a different approach for the Style Name, like using Roman instead of Regular or Cursive instead of Italic. Then, you just need to match the usWeight value of the Roman style with the Cursive style using the Style Map Style radio group

familyName styleName styleMapStyle usWeight italicAngle
MyFont Roman Regular 400 -
MyFont Bold Bold 700 -
MyFont Cursive Italic 400 7
MyFont Bold Cursive Bold Italic 700 7
