Font Emulation in the Harlequin RIP
Global Graphics Software, Inc.
Global Graphics’ Font Emulation is available with the Harlequin RIP Genesis Release (v7.0 or later) and provides in-RIP font emulation capabilities for time-critical applications such as print-on-demand, newspapers, magazines, and any jobs where artwork or advertising is supplied independently of the customer. The technology creates a typographically acceptable match for missing fonts with no text overflow and with appropriate character spacing, weight, and width. With Font Emulation, problem files are simply sent to the RIP as usual, and the RIP constructs a suitable replacement on the fly. Emulated fonts have the correct width for every glyph in the font. “This meets a niche for digital workflow,” remarked a judge.
