Again, this should be unnecessary (but might make housekeeping easier to have one file). TTC collection file, by opening them all at once and using File > Generate TTC., then choosing the appropriate files in the dialog.

You might need to be manually update this in some cases to make the system aware of changes you've made - but I think it normally handles it automatically.

Create an appropriate font file, install it. You may find you also need to change Fontname, but that should be unnecessary.Ĭheck anything else you want to tweak, then when ready, File > Generate Font.Aller Light has weight 'Book', change to 'Light'). Make sure that 'Weight' says something meaningful that doesn't clash with your existing fonts (e.g.You want to change Family Name so that all variants have the same family name (in Aller example, Aller Light and and Aller Light Italic have family name Aller Light, change this to Aller).

(I remember experiencing a lot of crashes the few times I foolishly tried working on the installed files in system folders.)

It'll slidedown an editor with a few more tabs. For each window, click on the tab Font Info (3rd tab from the left in the toolbar).Who knows, maybe you'll get hooked and buy a license. For this purpose, the 15-day free trial may be all you need.
#FONTAGENT 8 FAMILIES SOFTWARE#
The purchase price on RoboFont is pretty steep, but really, the software is aimed at people who are drawing and editing their own fonts. I recently had to do exactly what you're asking with my copy of Gotham which was installing as individual files and not as a family. It also does what you're looking for: allows you to open individual files and edit their font info and then resave in whatever format you need. RoboFont is a great software (mac only) for font editing on so many levels. If someone wants to outline steps in FontLab or Fontographer, I'm all ears. If there's a paid app to do this, I'm fine with that. I am not absolutely looking for freeware.
#FONTAGENT 8 FAMILIES MAC OS#
Running Mac OS 10.7, but can boot to 10.6 or 10.8 if needed. How do I do this with the tool suggested, specific steps please? Are there any basic smaller apps to simply edit the font info without editing character and other tables? I don't want to edit the actual font data specifically, merely the titles and naming structure I believe. I know there are a couple of high-end apps (Fontographer, FontLab). What tool on the Macintosh can combine these faces so they are all listed under the family name? As in the figure B, above. The problem I have is each face is listed separately in various applications (Photoshop, Indesign, etc.) Rather than simply one item with a submenu for faces. These are decent quality fonts with, on average, 8–15 different faces for the family. I've got a few fonts I've purchased over the past few years.
