Font Resources

The font metrics of the default font resource can be used as a guideline for designing your own font resources, which can be distributed as a downloadable font package in the Tizen Store.

The font resource details can also be used to determine the layout of the UI components for a better user experience.

The following guidelines show how to design a font resource:

• The EM size of TTF must be 1000.
• TTF must not contain any hinting information.
• When exporting the font to TTF, the TTF files must be smaller than 1 MB.
• The font metrics must follow the following values:

  OS/2 table:
     TypoAscender:775
     TypoDescender:-225
     TypoLineGap:0
     WinAscent:930
     WinDescent:270
  
  hhea table:
     Ascender:930
     Descender:-270
     LineGap:0
  
  head table:
     xMin:-515
     yMin:-297
     xMax:1261
     yMax:1022
  

• The font family name must contain the company name and font family name. This is recommended to avoid multiple font resources having the same family name.
• It is recommended that the font package icon stands for the identity of the font resource.
