Bitstream offers Delta hinting for PC and/or Macintosh TrueType fonts to enhance screen legibility.

No one likes squinting at a screen of illegible text. You need clear text that is easy to read on any device, at any size, and at any resolution. One important, but frequently overlooked, aspect of work environments today is how displayed text looks on a computer screen. Unclear, jagged characters force people to focus more on a product's limitations than on ease of use.

Delta Hinting involves hand-hinting each character in a font. Our designers edit characters at all popular screen point sizes, typically, 9 to 24 point for VGA, Super VGA, and Macintosh screen resolutions.

In the example below, the top line of each point size is not delta-hinted, the second line is the clean, delta-hinted version.

With Delta Hinting, the result is fine-tuned text that is easier to read, particularly at small point sizes and on low resolution devices such as computer monitors.

Who benefits from using delta hinted fonts?

• Anyone required to read large amounts of text directly
  from screen displays.
• Anyone using custom applications and documents, where text
  is set at point sizes that can be difficult to read.
• Anyone developing software applications, where screen
  legibility is critical.
• Bitstream customers such as:
