In this article we'll detail how this font will be distributed, explain the history of this font and how you might want to use it in a document. Introducing the Dubai font family In January 2016, Microsoft and The Executive Council of Dubai requested that we work together on a new font family for inclusion in Microsoft products. Over the past year, work on the Dubai font family was completed by award winning type designer Nadine Chahine and a team of designers and engineers based in Monotype’s London office. The goal was to produce a highly readable text font family, leveraging Nadine’s background in font legibility research.

The initial version of the Dubai font family consists of four styles, Dubai Light, Dubai (regular), Dubai Medium and Dubai Bold, supporting both western European languages as well as the major languages that use the Arabic script. The font's use is bound by the terms of the Office End User License Agreement. The license terms of your Office product can be found by visiting .

Installing the Dubai font in Microsoft Office Office 365 subscribers and Office 2016 for PC or Mac users automatically get the Dubai font added to their applications as part of their normal update process. If you're an Office 365 subscriber and don't see the font available for you yet, make sure you have the latest updates installed. See for more information. If you're not an Office 365 subscriber yet, and want to get new features like this one, iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, and Office Online users already have the new Dubai font available in their applications.

Using the Dubai font in Microsoft Office The Dubai font works just as any other font in Office. Simply select the font from the font picker in your application to apply it. Tips & Tricks. Avoid using italics with any of the Dubai fonts, as we've not yet included true italic styles of the fonts.

The Dubai (regular) style is suited for body text and is “linked” to the Dubai Bold font. To apply the bold effect just select your text and choose bold from the Font group on the ribbon. Because the Dubai fonts are designed for setting both Arabic and western European languages together, the space between lines is quite generous. You can tighten up this spacing by selecting Line Spacing Options from the Paragraph ribbon menu. The font automatically installs in Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint.

If you'd like to have the font available to you in other programs on Windows like Microsoft Project, or third-party programs you'll need to go to download the Dubai Font Pack from the Microsoft Download Center. See also.

TrueType overview. 5 minutes to read. Contributors. In this article TrueType is a digital font technology designed by Apple Computer, and now used by both Apple and Microsoft in their operating systems. Microsoft has distributed millions of quality TrueType fonts in hundreds of different styles, including them in its range of products and the popular TrueType Font Packs. TrueType fonts offer the highest possible quality on computer screens and printers, and include a range of features which make them easy to use. The history of TrueType's development is discussed briefly in our History of TrueTypedocument, which explains the various incarnations of the technology, as well as some of the reasons TrueType exists at all.

What do I need in order to use TrueType? The TrueType font technology consists of two components: the TrueType fontsthemselves, which come in many thousands of different styles, and can be purchased individually or in collections from font manufacturers; and the TrueType rasterizer, a piece of software built into System 7.x on the Apple Macintosh range of computers, and also into Microsoft's Windows family of operating systems. Both components - the font and the rasterizer, are necessary to display and print TrueType fonts on a computer system.

It is the interaction between the TrueType fonts, the TrueType rasterizer and the software program in which the TrueType font is used that determines the appearance of the letterforms in the font. Where can I get TrueType from?

If you're using a Mac or a Windows machine, the chances are that you're already using the TrueType rasterizer and the TrueType fonts both Apple and Microsoft include with the basic operating system. If you're using Apple Macintosh or Windows based computers, all you need to do is purchase the fonts you want to use. The TrueType rasterizer The TrueType font technology consists of two parts: the description of the fonts themselves (the TrueType font files), and the program which reads the font description and generates the bitmaps (the TrueType Rasterizer). The TrueType Rasterizer is a computer program which is typically incorporated as part of an operating system or printer control software. With this in mind, it has been written with a well defined client interface, and a clean modular structure in portable C.

The job of the TrueType Rasterizer is to generate character bitmaps for screens and printers (otherwise known as raster devices). It accomplishes this by performing the following tasks:. Reading the outline description of the character (lines and splines) from the TrueType font file. Scaling the outline description of the character to the requested size and device resolution. Adjusting the outline description to the pixel grid (based on ).

Filling the adjusted outline with pixels (scan conversion). What's in a TrueType font? A digital font contains much more than just the characters associated with a given alphabet or script. A TrueType font file includes many different kinds of information used by the TrueType rasterizer and the operating system software to ensure that characters display on the computer screen or print out exactly as the font designer intended them to. All of the information in a TrueType font is arranged in a series of tables. For technical information about these tables, you can see our. In addition to the shapes of each character, a TrueType font includes information about how the characters should be spaced vertically and horizontally within a block of text, character mapping details (governing the variety of characters included in the font and the keystrokes needed to access them), and much more besides.

The fonts also include manufacturer's details, such as copyrights, names and licensing permissions. Description of characters One of the more obvious things TrueType fonts include is the shape of each character. Each and every letterform contained in a TrueType font is stored as an outline, or more accurately, as a mathematical description of the character constructed from a series of points. For this reason, TrueType is known as an outline font format. Probably the greatest thing about storing characters as outlines is that only one outline per character is needed to produce all the sizes of that character you'll ever need. A single outline can be scaled to an enormous range of different sizes, some of which are illustrated below.

This enables the same character to be displayed on monitors of different resolutions, and to be printed out at a large number of different sizes.To scale a character outline is a simple mathematical operation, as indeed are other transformations such as rotation and reflections. The user never actually sees the outlines stored in an outline font, because before a character can be displayed on the screen or the printer, a bitmap has to be produced, by the TrueType rasterizer.

This is because screen displays and printers both use dot patterns to represent images (sufficiently magnify any screen image or print-out, and you'll notice the pixel pattern). The character outlines contained in the TrueType font are scaled to the requested size, and are converted into bitmaps by turning on the pixels encompassed by the outline. This process is known as scan conversion or rasterization. Character sets and mapping TrueType fonts also contain character maps - information concerning the types and quantity of characters included in the font, and details as to how these characters are accessed from the keyboard. TrueType fonts on the PC and the Mac Although TrueType fonts can be used on both the Macintosh and Windows platforms, slight differences in the way each operating system handles the fonts lead vendors to produce separate versions of the font for each platform.

Some vendors will provide you with both Mac and Windows format TrueType files, while others may treat them as different products. Contact individual vendors for specific details. This oddity arises because of the different file system used on the two platforms. Information can be included in the font to determine whether the font can be used on both kinds of system, or one or the other. On a Macintosh, the TrueType font file is sometimes referred to as an SFNT and, under Windows as a.TTF. The information contained in the fonts is the same, and making the necessary adjustments to allow the font to run on both platforms is a relatively straightforward task.
