Create Font Style styles
Create Character Styles for each Font Style used in the InDesign document
Type Tools > Create Font Style styles
Where a change of character styling is used to convey meaning, the relevant semantic Character Style should be used to apply that meaning for accessibility.
The use of character level styling on the page for purely visual or decorative reasons does not need to be reflected in this way, but should still be applied with a Character Style if required to be included in digital exports.
When using a Core Set of styles, common font styles such as bold and italic are included but many professional fonts have more font styles included, e.g. Oblique and Semibold.
By using the Create Font Style styles tool, new Character Styles will be created for each font style present in the document to enable them to be applied quickly, cleanly and consistently and tagged correctly for output to EPUB.
- Open (or create) the InDesign document requiring the Font Style styles
- Choose GreenLight Tools menu > Type Tools
- Click Create Font Style styles
- On first use, you may be required click OK to give permission for Circular Software tools to link to your macOS and apps
- In the Character Styles panel a new Font Styles Style Group folder is created with the type styles within.
