Q. Are Ultra Fonts™ Mac -compatible?

A. Yes. UFs may be used on Macs, Linux machines, many mobile devices, even 'obsolete' computers. If the machine supports antialiased TrueType fonts UFs will almost certainly work. They may not reproduce perfectly. Please try one of our free fonts on your machine first.

Q. Can I use an Ultra Font™ in print ?

A. Pixel fonts and UFs are optimized for the screen, not print. To make a UF look good in print, take a screenshot of it in use onscreen, or set the type in a graphics program. Use the resulting graphic in your print design. The UF will reproduce properly at the printer resolution. Some UFs look fine when used directly, but when they do not, use graphic versions.

Q. Why can't I center Ultra Fonts™ text?

A. Centered text will blur when the line of text contains an odd number of pixels. Adding an odd number of blank pixels (such as a 3-pixel space) can fix it.

Q. I set an Ultra Font™ to 8 point in Windows, outside Flash and Photoshop,
but it is too big and looks blurry.

A. Set the font to 6 point. Many programs use 72 Dots Per Inch, but Windows is set to 96 DPI. 6 point will make the font appear properly. If you are using UF Mana, use the Alternative (darker) version.

Q. I am using an Ultra Font™ at 6 point in Windows XP. The font is blocky and has colored edges.

A. In the Appearance tab of your Display Properties, click Effects, and use the Standard method to smooth screen fonts. UFs can be used with ClearType turned on, but outside graphics programs such as Flash and Photoshop they will display poorly. We are developing ClearType-compatible UF fonts.

Q. I am using a font management program and Ultra Fonts™ do not display correctly.

A. Such programs for Mac and Windows commonly write their own antialiasing algorithms. Please send us a screenshot and we can help the developer straighten out the problem.
