If your application supoprts Unicode, this is the font you want to use. It contains exactly the same glyphs contained in the Open Type version of the Devroye font, but of course without the OT programming.
The figures and lowercase rows contain many ligatures and alternate characters.Ĥ) DEVROYUN.TTF is the full Unicode version. The uppercase row includes a knocked out set of uppercase. This font is not meant for use on its own, but as an accessory to the regular and small cap versions. Supported code pages are 1252 LaTurkish, 1258 Vietnamese and 850 WE/Latin 1.ģ) DEVROYEX.TTF contains 70 glyphs and no kerning pairs. This version supports the following Unicode ranges: Basic Latin, Spacing Modifier Letters, and General Punctuation. Alternate euro and dollar are included to match the OsF. This font is a small caps font, and the figures are oldstyle. Supported code pages are 1252 LaTurkish, 1258 Vietnamese and 850 WE/Latin 1.Ģ) DEVROYSC.TTF contains 224 glyphs and 1494 kerning pairs. This font is regular lowercase/uppercase with lining figures. Devroye Unicodeġ) DEVROYE_.TTF contains 227 standard glyphs and 1967 kerning pairs. Devroye Extra (ligatures and alternates)ĭEVROYUN.TTF.

If you like the fonts included here, pour yourself a glass of wine, lift it up in the air and say: "Here's to you, Luc!" I can without hesitation say that the man is my favourite Canadian. It gets 12,000 hits a day, has not a single advertisement on it, and accommodates all levels of typographical curiosities. Luc's site, appropriately named 'On Snot and Fonts' is the proverbial starting point for anything type-related. I emphasize this because Luc shares his passion with everyone who is interested, via his site, hosted on McGill University's servers. Luc is a typography fan, if not THE typography fan. Luc's favourite pastime is the reason we are celebrating with him.
He is also an associate member of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics there. degree from the University of Texas in 1976, and since then has been a professor of Computer Science at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Luc Devroye recently received in Belgium. Result can now be seen in last line.The fonts included in this package were made in celebration of the honorary doctorate Dr. Therefore, I adapted macro \fauxschelphelp to test for lowercase-ness using \lccode. This, obviously does not work for UNICODE. Previously, I detected lowercase by seeing if ˋ#1 was in the ASCII lowercase range. In this MWE, I compare both "fake" and "faux" small caps to the real McCoy for Computer Modern, Minion Pro, and Palatino, respectively.ĮDITED to handle UNICODE inputs in Xelatex. In addition, my \fauxsc macro is able to automatically differentiate lower-case from upper-case arguments, and render them appropriately, which eases the input syntax. By comparison, I use 91% horizontal and 75% vertical scaling on Computer Modern, with 111% horizontal scaling on sc Caps, and on Palatino, 76% horizontal, 68% vertical scaling, with no change on the sc Caps. For Minion Pro, shown in this example, I use 83% horizontal, and 72% vertical scaling to create faux small caps, with 100% horizontal scaling (no change) on the sc Caps. I have found (see Good small caps font to use with arev?, for example) that an unequal scaling of horizontal and vertical dimension is better able to capture the proportions of small caps. I label his method "fake" as he did and label this approach as "faux". Here I compare an alternative to Yan's approach.
