Ithimba eliwine imiklomelo lezintatheli, abaklami nabathwebuli bevidiyo baxoxa indaba yomkhiqizo ngelensi eyingqayizivele ye-Fast Company.
Isibalo sabantu abasebenzisa i-Microsoft Office emhlabeni wonke siyamangaza, singenisa imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-143 zamaRandi e-Microsoft minyaka yonke.Iningi labasebenzisi alilokothi lichofoze imenyu yefonti ukuze ushintshe isitayela sibe kokukodwa kwezinketho ezingaphezu kuka-700.Ngakho-ke, lokhu kusho ukuthi ingxenye enkulu yabantu ichitha isikhathi ku-Calibri, okuyifonti ezenzakalelayo ye-Office kusukela ngo-2007.
Namuhla, iMicrosoft iya phambili.Inkampani ithumele amafonti amasha amahlanu ngabaklami befonti abahlanu abahlukene ukuze bathathe indawo ye-Calibri.Manje zingasetshenziswa eHhovisi.Ekupheleni kuka-2022, iMicrosoft izokhetha eyodwa yazo njengenketho entsha ezenzakalelayo.
UCalibri [Isithombe: Microsoft] “Singayizama, sivumele abantu bazibheke, bazisebenzise, futhi basinikeze impendulo mayelana nendlela eya phambili,” kusho uSi Daniels, umphathi omkhulu wephrojekthi ye-Microsoft Office Design.“Asicabangi ukuthi iCalibri inosuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi, kodwa ayikho ifonti engasetshenziswa unomphela.”
Ngenkathi i-Calibri yenza i-debut yayo eminyakeni engu-14 edlule, isikrini sethu sasebenza ngokulungiswa okuphansi.Lesi yisikhathi sangaphambi kokuboniswa kwe-Retina kanye nokusakaza bukhoma kwe-Netflix kwe-4K.Lokhu kusho ukuthi ukwenza izinhlamvu ezincane zibonakale ngokucacile esikrinini kuwubuqili.
IMicrosoft isinesikhathi eside ixazulula le nkinga, futhi seyenze uhlelo olubizwa nge-ClearType ukusiza ukuyixazulula.I-ClearType yaqala ukuvela ngo-1998, futhi ngemva kweminyaka yokuthuthuka, ithole amalungelo obunikazi angama-24.
I-ClearType isofthiwe echwepheshile eklanyelwe ukwenza amafonti acace ngokusebenzisa isofthiwe iyodwa (ngoba akukabikho ngisho nesikrini sokucaca esiphezulu).Kuze kube manje, yasebenzisa amasu ahlukahlukene, njengokulungisa izinto ezibomvu, eziluhlaza, neziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngaphakathi kwephikseli ngayinye ukuze lenze izinhlamvu zicace, nokusebenzisa umsebenzi okhethekile wokulwa nokuqamba amanga (le ndlela yokulungisa le nkinga ingashelelanisa ukushoda kwezithombe zekhompyutha) .umkhawulo we).Ngokuyisisekelo, i-ClearType ivumela ifonti ukuthi ilungiswe ukuze ibukeke icace kunalokho eyikho ngempela.
I-Calibri [Isithombe: Microsoft] Ngalo mqondo, i-ClearType ingaphezu nje kwendlela yokubuka ehlanzekile.Kube nomthelela omkhulu kubasebenzisi, kukhuphula isivinini sokufunda sabantu ngo-5% ocwaningweni lweMicrosoft uqobo.
I-Calibri ifonti egunyazwe ngokukhethekile iMicrosoft ukusebenzisa ngokugcwele izici ze-ClearType, okusho ukuthi ama-glyphs ayo akhiwe kusukela ekuqaleni futhi angasetshenziswa nohlelo.I-Calibri ifonti ye-sans serif, okusho ukuthi iyifonti yesimanje, njenge-Helvetica, engenamahhuku nemiphetho ekugcineni kohlamvu.Ama-Sans serif ngokuvamile abhekwa njengazimele kokuqukethwe, njengesinkwa sezimanga ezibonwayo ubuchopho bakho obungazikhohlwa, igxila kuphela olwazini olusembhalweni.EHhovisi (enamacala amaningi okusebenzisa ahlukene), i-Wonder Bread iyona kanye iMicrosoft eyifunayo.
I-Calibri iyifonti enhle.Angikhulumi ngokuba umgxeki wokuphrinta, kodwa isibukeli esinenhloso: I-Calibri yenze isenzo esinzima kakhulu kuwo wonke amafonti emlandweni wesintu, futhi angikaze ngizwe muntu ekhononda.Uma ngesaba ukuvula i-Excel, akungenxa yefonti ezenzakalelayo.Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi kuyisikhathi sentela.
UDaniels uthe: “Ukulungiswa kwesikrini kwenyuke kwafinyelela ezingeni elingadingekile.”“Ngakho-ke, iCalibri yakhelwe ukunikeza ubuchwepheshe obungasasetshenziswa.Kusukela lapho, ubuchwepheshe befonti buye bathuthuka.”
Enye inkinga ukuthi, ngokombono weMicrosoft, ukunambitheka kweCalibri kweMicrosoft akuthathi hlangothi ngokwanele.
"Kubukeka kukuhle esikrinini esincane," kusho uDaniels."Uma usuyikhulise, (bheka) isiphetho sefonti yomlingiswa siba yindilinga, okuyinto eyinqaba."
Okuxakayo ukuthi, uLuc de Groot, umklami weCalibri, ekuqaleni waphakamisa kuMicrosoft ukuthi amafonti akhe akufanele abe namakhona ayindilinga ngoba wayekholelwa ukuthi i-ClearType ayikwazi ukunikeza imininingwane egobile ngendlela efanele.Kodwa iMicrosoft itshele u-de Groot ukuthi azigcine ngoba i-ClearType isanda kuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe obusha ukuze ibunikeze ngendlela efanele.
Kunoma ikuphi, uDaniels nethimba lakhe bagunyaze izitudiyo ezinhlanu ukuthi zikhiqize amafonti amasha amahlanu e-sans serif, ngayinye yakhelwe ukuthatha indawo ye-Calibri: Tenorite (ebhalwe u-Erin McLaughlin no-Wei Huang), u-Bierstadt (ebhalwe uSteve Matteson) ), i-Skeena (ebhalwe nguJohn Hudson noPaul Hanslow), Seaford (Tobias Frere-Jones, Nina Stössinger noFred Shallcrass) kanye noJun Yi (Aaron Bell) Salute.
Uma uthi nhlá, ngizoba neqiniso: kubantu abaningi, lawa mafonti abukeka afana ngokwezinga elikhulu.Wonke angamafonti abushelelezi we-sans serif, njenge-Calibri.
“Amakhasimende amaningi, awacabangi ngisho nangamafonti noma awawabheki nhlobo amafonti.Kuphela lapho besondeza, bazobona izinto ezihlukile!”Kusho uDaniels.“Ngempela, uma usuwasebenzisile, ingabe azizwa engokwemvelo?Ingabe ezinye izinhlamvu ezixakile ziyabavimba?Ingabe lezi zinombolo zizwakala zilungile futhi zifundeka?Ngicabanga ukuthi sinweba ububanzi obamukelekayo bufike emkhawulweni.Kodwa bayafana. "
Uma ufunda amafonti eduze kakhulu, uzothola umehluko.I-Tenorite, i-Bierstadt kanye ne-Grandview ikakhulukazi izindawo zokuzalwa zesimanje sendabuko.Lokhu kusho ukuthi izinhlamvu zinezimo zejiyomethri eziqinile, futhi inhloso ukuzenza zingabonakali ngangokunokwenzeka.Imibuthano yama-Os nama-Q iyafana, futhi imijikelezo ngama-Rs nama-Ps iyafana.Umgomo walawa mafonti ukwakha phezu kwesistimu yokuklama ephelele, ephindaphindekayo.Kulokhu, bahle.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uSkeena noSeaford banendima eyengeziwe.I-Skeena idlala ukujiya komugqa ukuze ifake i-asymmetry ezinhlamvini ezifana no-X. U-Seaford wenqabile buthule ubusimanjemanje obuqinile, wengeza i-taper kuma-glyphs amaningi.Lokhu kusho ukuthi uhlamvu ngalunye lubukeka luhluke kancane.Umlingiswa oyinqaba kakhulu eka-Skeena's k, ene-R's up loop.
Njengoba u-Tobias Frere-Jones echaza, inhloso yakhe akukhona ukwenza ifonti engaziwa ngokuphelele.Ukholelwa ukuthi inselelo iqala ngokungenzeki.“Sichithe isikhathi esiningi sixoxa ngokuthi inani elimisiwe liyini noma lingaba yini, futhi ezindaweni eziningi isikhathi eside, i-Helvetica ezenzakalelayo namanye ama-sans serif noma izinto ezisondelene nevelu emisiwe zichazwa ngombono wokuthi i-Helvetica ukungathathi hlangothi.Ayinambala,” kusho uFrere-Jones.“Asikholwa ukuthi ikhona into enjalo.”
Ungenzi.KuJones, ngisho nefonti yesimanjemanje eshelelayo inencazelo yayo.Ngakho-ke, ku-Seaford, uFrere-Jones wavuma ukuthi iqembu lakhe "lawushiya umgomo wokwenza izinto ezingathathi hlangothi noma ezingenambala."Kunalokho, uthe bakhethe ukwenza okuthile “okunethezekile” futhi leli gama laba yisisekelo somsebenzi..
I-Seaford [Isithombe: Microsoft] I-Comfortable yifonti efundeka kalula futhi engacindezeli iqinise ekhasini.Lokhu kuholele ekutheni ithimba lakhe lidale izinhlamvu ezizizwa zihlukile kwenye ukuze kube lula ukuzifunda futhi kube lula ukuzibona.Ngokwesiko, i-Helvetica iyifonti edumile, kodwa yakhelwe amalogo amakhulu, hhayi imibhalo emide.UFrere-Jones uthe i-Calibri ingcono ngesayizi encane futhi ingacindezela izinhlamvu eziningi ekhasini elilodwa, kodwa ekufundeni isikhathi eside, akukaze kube yinto enhle.
Ngakho-ke, badala i-Seaford ukuze izizwe njenge-Calibri futhi ingakhathazeki kakhulu ngobuningi bezinhlamvu.Esikhathini sedijithali, amakhasi okuphrinta awavamile ukukhawulelwa.Ngakho-ke, uSeaford welula zonke izincwadi ukuze anake ngokwengeziwe ukunethezeka kokufunda.
"Ungacabangi ngakho "njengokuzenzakalelayo", kodwa njengokuncoma kompheki wezidlo ezinhle kule menyu," kusho uFrere-Jones."Njengoba sifunda kakhulu esikrinini, ngicabanga ukuthi izinga lokunethezeka lizophuthuma kakhulu."
Kunjalo, nakuba uFrere-Jones enginikeze ithuba lokuthengisa eligculisayo, iningi labasebenzisi beHhovisi ngeke bezwe umqondo ongemuva kwakhe noma amanye amafonti aqhudelanayo.Bangavele bakhethe ifonti kumenyu yokudonsela phansi kuhlelo lokusebenza lweHhovisi (bekufanele ilandelwe ngokuzenzakalelayo ku-Office lapho ufunda lesi sihloko).I-Microsoft iqoqa idatha encane ekusetshenzisweni kwefonti.Inkampani iyazi ukuthi abasebenzisi bawakhetha kangaki amafonti, kodwa ayazi ukuthi empeleni asetshenziswa kanjani kumadokhumenti namaspredishithi.Ngakho-ke, iMicrosoft izocela imibono yabasebenzisi ezinkundleni zokuxhumana kanye nezinhlolovo zemibono yomphakathi.
“Sifuna amakhasimende asinikeze impendulo futhi asazise ukuthi athandani,” kusho uDaniels.Le mpendulo ngeke yazise iMicrosoft kuphela ngesinqumo sayo sokugcina ngefonti yayo elandelayo ezenzakalelayo;inkampani iyajabula ukwenza izinguquko kulawa mafonti amasha ngaphambi kwesinqumo sokugcina sokujabulisa izethameli zayo.Kuyo yonke imizamo yephrojekthi, iMicrosoft ayijahile, yingakho singafuni ukuzwa okwengeziwe ngaphambi kokuphela kuka-2022.
UDaniels uthe: “Sizofundela ukulungisa izinombolo ukuze zisebenze kahle ku-Excel, futhi sinikeze i-PowerPoint ngefonti [enkulu] yokubonisa.”"Ifonti izobe isiba ifonti ebhakwe ngokugcwele futhi izosetshenziswa ne-Calibri okwesikhashana, ngakho-ke siqiniseka ngokuphelele ngaphambi kokuphenya ifonti ezenzakalelayo."
Nokho, akunandaba ukuthi iMicrosoft ekugcineni ikhethani, izindaba ezinhle ukuthi wonke amafonti amasha asazohlala eHhovisi kanye ne-Office Calibri.Lapho i-Microsoft ikhetha inani elisha elimisiwe, ukukhetha akunakugwenywa.
