CHANGES IN THIS VERSION

The Fractions feature has been improved, allowing you to apply this feature •
to non-numeric text.
The Find/Change dialog has been enhanced to allow you to search for text •
that have specified OpenType style features applied.
OpenType Styles palette enhancements: •
Clicking the OpenType icon on the Character tab of the •
Measurements palette displays the OpenType Styles palette. The
OpenType Styles palette can also be displayed/closed by pressing the F4
shortcut key.
A radio button indicates that the OpenType feature is mutually
exclusive, you need to select between one of the features. A check box
indicates that the OpenType feature is additive, you can add the
feature to already applied OpenType features.
In the palette, a preview of each feature will be shown to the right of •
the feature, displaying how the currently selected text will be rendered
if that particular feature were to be applied.
OpenType features that are not applicable to the currently selected font •
will be greyed out. On macOS, if the currently selected font doesn’t
contain any OpenType features, a ‘No OpenType features available’
message will be displayed on the OpenType palette.
OpenType Styles dialog enhancements: •
Clicking the OpenType icon on the Edit Character Style Sheet •
dialog displays the OpenType Styles dialog.
Specify the OpenType style features you want, and they will be applied •
to the character style sheet. Click Reset to Default to reset your choices
to the default choices applied to the style sheet.
This dialog is also displayed when using the Find/Change palette to •
search for text with OpenType style features applied.
Color Fonts Supports: Color fonts represent a key evolution in digital •
typography, introducing rich graphic features into font files. A color font file is a
regular font file that embeds additional data to display more graphic properties
than the contour shapes of a character. To use these color fonts, just install a
color font in one of the three supported formats in macOS or Windows. Use it
like any other font in QuarkCopyDesk.
QuarkCopyDesk 2018 supports 3 color font formats:
SBIX: This is an Apple format, containing glyphs with bitmap raster data •
COLR: This is a Microsoft format, containing glyphs with vector data •
SVG: this is an Adobe and Mozilla format, containing glyphs with vector •
and raster data.
Footnote/Endnote Spans: In a multi-column text box, you are now able to span •
footnotes/endnotes across columns using the Footnote Across Columns
attribute specified in the footnote/endnote separator style.
