[Fontworks LETS] Started offering font weight reduction option

Service/Product

As an optional product for the new LETS, we have started offering the “Lightweight Option” from September 28, 2022 (Wednesday).

What is "lightening option"?

"Lightweight option" is an optional product that allows the creation of subset fonts accompanying the application / game embedding option.

You can create a font file by extracting only the characters to be used from the font files (OpenType fonts/TrueType fonts) of your contracted "Fontworks LETS". The file size can be significantly reduced, and it is effective for embedding font files in environments with limited capacity such as apps and games.

*In the current LETS, it was called "GlyfPick", but in the new LETS, the name has been changed to "lightening option".
