Font del marchio in impaginazione, PDF e pacchetto

Il manuale d’identità di una metro immaginaria composto con i font del marchio, scaricati una volta e riusati da impaginazione, PDF e pacchetto .postext.

pp. 2–3 di 4

  • Esempio in inglese: non c’è ancora un’edizione italiana
  • Formato 210 × 280 mm
  • 2 colonne, Intercolonna di 8 mm
  • Public Sans 9,8/14
  • Big Shoulders Display
  • Spline Sans Mono
  • 4 pagine
  • Livello
  • Postext 1.30.0
  • Impaginato in 85 ms
  • 246 righe di codice

In breve

Un manuale di stile per una metropolitana inventata. Mostra come scaricare una sola volta i font di un marchio e usarli per l’anteprima delle pagine, per il PDF e per il file salvato.

Che cosa comporrai

Quattro pagine del manuale d’identità di Metro de Alba, una metropolitana immaginaria di cinque linee. In copertina le cinque linee partono dal basso a sinistra su un binario comune e si diramano verso destra dopo aver attraversato un fiume grigio, sotto il nome in Big Shoulders Display. Ogni sezione si apre sotto una fascia color inchiostro, con un grande numero di due cifre nel colore di una linea. In 01 Colour la prima colonna della tabella è il colore stesso; 02 Type ha righe di campione e un cartello di banchina, e 03 Usage chiude con due disegni di mappa incorniciati, uno fatto secondo le regole (Do) e uno contro (Don't). Tutto il testo è composto con sei file di font che lo script scarica prima della prima impaginazione. Il PDF è disegnato con gli stessi sei file, e il file .postext ne porta cinque, perché il carattere da titolo è marcato come non ridistribuibile.

Questa ricetta risponde a

  • Come uso i font del mio marchio o con licenza nell’impaginazione e li incorporo nel PDF?
  • Come esporto nel browser un vero PDF con i font incorporati?
  • Come evito che titoli, parole in grassetto e punti elenco escano in blu?
  • Come aggiungo campioni di colore come legenda nel testo, nelle didascalie o nelle note di tabella?
  • Come creo un pacchetto .postext dal codice, per passare un documento alla Sandbox o a un altro programma?

Preparazione

#1 · Registra i caratteri del marchio, componi e dai al PDF gli stessi byte

script.js · righe 448–453nel codice completo
await loadBrandFonts(); // the answer, step 1
for (const [fileId, markup] of Object.entries(ART)) await loadSvg(fileId, markup);
const doc = buildDocument({ markdown, resources }, config());
showPages(doc, { title: 'Metro de Alba · Identity manual' });
offerPdf(() => renderToPdf(doc, { fontProvider: brandFontProvider, resourceBytes: imageBytes }),
  `${RECIPE}.pdf`); // step 2: the provider hands renderToPdf the same files

L’impaginazione misura ogni parola con i caratteri in document.fonts, quindi loadBrandFonts() nella risposta breve scarica ogni file una volta, ne conserva i byte e registra un FontFace costruito da essi prima che giri buildDocument. I kitFonts del kit scaricano solo da Fontsource, mentre un marchio serve i suoi file dal proprio server. renderToPdf chiede i caratteri che le pagine disegnano, e brandFontProvider risponde a ogni richiesta con i byte già scaricati; un peso o un’inclinazione che il marchio non ha riceverebbe il file più vicino della stessa famiglia (Why a font provider?). Il PDF incorpora i sei file che il canvas ha misurato, ognuno una volta.

#2 · Il sistema dei colori è un solo elenco

script.js · righe 59–84nel codice completo
const COLOURS = [ // id, name, screen, print (coated stock)
  ['line-1', 'Line 1 · Tile red', '#e4572e', '0 75 85 0'],
  ['line-2', 'Line 2 · Harbour teal', '#17bebb', '75 0 32 0'],
  ['line-3', 'Line 3 · Broom yellow', '#ffc914', '0 22 95 0'],
  ['line-4', 'Line 4 · Heather', '#6c4f9e', '65 75 0 0'],
  ['line-5', 'Line 5 · Pine', '#3f9b4a', '76 12 90 2'],
  ['signal-red', 'Signal red', '#c0391b', '10 88 100 2'],
  ['signal-green', 'Signal green', '#2b7d3c', '84 25 95 10'],
  ['ink', 'Ink', '#1f2124', '72 62 55 78'],
  ['rule', 'Rule grey', '#d9d9d4', '14 10 14 0'],
];
const palette = { ...Object.fromEntries(COLOURS.map(([id, , hex]) => [id, hex])),
  paper: '#ffffff', section: '#e4572e' }; // section: the line colour of the current section
// col(): a colour linked to its palette entry, with the entry's hex beside the link.
const col = (id) => ({ hex: palette[id], model: 'hex', paletteId: id });
const colorPalette = [...Object.entries(palette), ['main-color', palette.ink]]
  .map(([id, hex]) => ({ id, name: id, value: { hex, model: 'hex' } }));

const rgb = (hex) => [1, 3, 5].map((i) => parseInt(hex.slice(i, i + 2), 16)).join(' ');
const swatchTable = () => COLOURS.reduce( // an empty first cell, filled with the colour itself
  (model, [id], i) => setCellBackground(model, { row: i + 1, col: 0 }, col(id)),
  { headerRowCount: 1, columnWidths: [22, 34, 14, 15, 15], rows: [
    ['COLOUR', 'NAME', 'HEX', 'RGB', 'CMYK'].map((content) => ({ content, isHeader: true })),
    ...COLOURS.map(([, name, hex, cmyk]) =>
      ['', name, hex.toUpperCase(), rgb(hex), cmyk].map((content) => ({ content }))),
  ] });

Poiché la palette e la tabella 1.1 si costruiscono dalle stesse nove righe, la tabella non può elencare un valore che le pagine non usano. setCellBackground riempie la prima cella vuota di ogni riga con il colore di quella riga, collegato alla palette. Nel testo, :swatch{color="line-2"} prende un id della palette e disegna un quadrato bordato nel colore del testo. main-color ha l’esadecimale di Ink, quindi titoli e tratti in grassetto e corsivo, collegati a esso per impostazione predefinita, si stampano in Ink invece che nel blu del motore. bodyText.referenceColor: col('ink') assegna Ink anche ai rimandi (Color Palette).

#3 · Un’apertura, tre colori di linea

script.js · righe 93–110nel codice completo
// The body starts ten grid lines down, in both columns.
const opener = { enabled: true, minHeight: pt(10 * LEAD), slot: { elements: [
  { kind: 'text', id: 'number', content: '{number}', fontFamily: DISPLAY, fontWeight: 800,
    fontSize: pt(130), lineHeight: 1, color: col('section'), align: 'left', overflow: 'wrap',
    // Nudged by eye on the capture: the cap tops of number and title on one line.
    placement: { anchor: { to: 'container', edge: 'top-left' },
      offset: { x: mm(-1.5), y: mm(1.3) } } },
  { kind: 'text', id: 'title', content: '{titleText}', fontFamily: DISPLAY, fontWeight: 800,
    fontSize: pt(34), lineHeight: 1, color: col('ink'), align: 'left', overflow: 'wrap',
    placement: { anchor: { to: 'container', edge: 'top-left' },
      offset: { x: mm(COL + GUTTER), y: mm(1) }, size: { width: mm(COL) } } },
  { kind: 'text', id: 'lead', content: '{attr.lead}', fontFamily: TEXT, fontSize: pt(12.5),
    lineHeight: 1.36, color: col('ink'), align: 'left', overflow: 'wrap',
    placement: { anchor: { to: '#title', edge: 'below' }, offset: { y: mm(3) },
      size: { width: mm(COL) } } },
] } };
// Each section sets `section` to its line's colour; the number and the head square use it.
const section = (id) => ({ id, palette: { section: palette[id] } });

numberingTemplate: '{1:01}' scrive il contatore con due cifre, e {number} stampa 01, 02 e 03 nell’apertura; il titolo di copertina è numbered: false e non riceve numero. I tre stili di sezione differiscono solo nella voce di palette section, che ognuno imposta al colore della sua linea. Il numero e il quadrato nella fascia sono collegati a section, così un solo design di apertura serve tutte e tre le sezioni. minHeight riserva all’apertura dieci righe della griglia da 14 pt, e il testo di ogni sezione comincia sulla stessa riga della griglia della sua pagina.

#4 · Do e Don't sono tipi di figura

script.js · righe 159–164nel codice completo
const example = (id, name, colour) => ({ id, name, shortLabel: name, captionPrefix: name,
  numberingTemplate: '{n}', resetOn: 'never', counterFormat: 'decimal',
  captionStyle: { labelColor: col(colour) } });
const resourceTypes = [...defaultResourceTypes(LANG),
  example('do', 'Do', 'signal-green'), example('dont', 'Don’t', 'signal-red')];
const FOOT = { position: 'bottom' }; // cited in one paragraph: its page's foot, one per column

Un tipo di risorsa può avere un captionStyle parziale, e questi due impostano solo il colore dell’etichetta, verde Signal per Do e rosso Signal per Don't (Resource types). I segnali arrivano a 5,1:1 e 5,5:1 sul bianco, mentre le linee 1, 2, 3 e 5 restano sotto il 4,5:1 che serve al testo piccolo. Entrambi i disegni flottano con position: 'bottom' e sono citati nello stesso paragrafo, il primo sotto «Drawing the map», quindi si dividono il piede di pagina 4, Do nella colonna sinistra e Don't in quella destra.

#5 · Il pacchetto include i font che può condividere

script.js · righe 457–471nel codice completo
const pack = Object.assign(document.createElement('button'), { type: 'button',
  textContent: 'Build the .postext' });
pack.addEventListener('click', async () => {
  const { bytes, manifest, warnings } = await createBundle({
    name: 'Metro de Alba identity manual', locale: LANG, markdown, config: config(), resources,
    files: new Map([...Object.entries(ART), ...fontFiles]), // fileId → SVG markup or font bytes
  });
  const size = `${Math.round(bytes.length / 1024)} KB`;
  const packed = `fonts inside: ${manifest.fonts.map((font) => font.name).join(', ')}`;
  kitStatus(['.postext', size, packed, ...warnings].join(' · ')); // warnings: what stayed out
  pack.replaceWith(Object.assign(document.createElement('a'), { download: `${RECIPE}.postext`,
    href: URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([bytes], { type: 'application/zip' })),
    textContent: `Download ${RECIPE}.postext · ${size}` }));
});
document.getElementById('pt-actions').append(pack);

createBundle legge config.customFonts, cerca i byte di ogni variante in files tramite il suo fileId e li scrive sotto fonts/, con una voce fonts nel manifest. La famiglia da titolo porta redistributable: false, al posto di una licenza che vieti di cedere i file (Big Shoulders Display in realtà è sotto OFL). Il suo file resta fuori, e warnings nomina la famiglia. Il file da 81 KB contiene il capitolo, la configurazione, i tre disegni e cinque file di font. L’impaginazione non legge mai customFonts; le pagine escono identiche senza (Creating a bundle).

Esempio Markdown · 90 righe · content.en.mdtitle: "Metro de Alba" subtitle: "Identity manual" author: "Metro de Alba brand office" --- # Metro de Alba {style="cover" kicker="Brand office · Lines and stations" edition="Edition 3 · September 2026"} # Colour {style="line-1" lead="Riders learn the colour of a line before its number. These values are fixed for print, screen and enamel."} ## Five lines, five colours The network has five lines, and each owns one colour, listed in :ref{id="colours" style="full"}. The colour marks the line wherever it appears: the stripe on a platform wall, the band along a train, the line’s badge and its path on the map. It marks nothing else, so a leaflet about fares is printed in ink on paper and red always means line 1. Take the values from the table, never from a screenshot, an old sign or a colour picker. Screens use the HEX value, and print uses the CMYK recipe on coated stock; for uncoated paper and newsprint, ask the brand office for the matching recipe. Enamel panels and vinyl are matched to the printed swatch card that the brand office keeps. ## Colour and contrast Line colours are for fills. A line badge is a square in the line colour with the number inside it: white on lines :swatch{color="line-1"} 1, :swatch{color="line-4"} 4 and :swatch{color="line-5"} 5, ink on lines :swatch{color="line-2"} 2 and :swatch{color="line-3"} 3, whose teal and yellow measure 2.3:1 and 1.5:1 against white, below the 3:1 that large type needs. Small text is never set in a line colour. Warnings and confirmations use :swatch{color="signal-red"} Signal red and :swatch{color="signal-green"} Signal green, which reach 5.5:1 and 5.1:1 on white. ## Neutrals Ink, a blue-black, sets text and outlines. Paper is plain white, since a tint would dull the yellow of line 3. Rule grey draws rules and the river. # Type {style="line-4" lead="Names and headings are set in a condensed display face. Running text is set in a sans, and a monospace takes the figures that have to line up."} ## Big Shoulders Display Station names, line names and headings are set in Big Shoulders Display ExtraBold. It is narrow, so a long name such as Puerta del Mercado still fits a platform sign at a size that reads from the far end of the platform. Set it in capitals and lowercase, never in capitals alone, and never below 14 pt, where its narrow counters start to fill in. A platform sign is an ink band 400 mm deep. The station name has a cap height of 150 mm and sits on a 100 mm margin. Under it, a square in the colour of each line that stops there comes before the line numbers, set in Public Sans SemiBold. :::callout{type="sign" title="Puerta del Mercado"} :swatch{color="line-2"} :swatch{color="line-3"} :swatch{color="line-5"} **Lines 2, 3 and 5** ::: ## Public Sans Anything people read in sentences, such as a notice or this manual, is set in Public Sans. Text is 9.8 pt on a 14 pt line, ragged right, with no indents and a space between paragraphs. Captions in print are 8.3 pt, and nothing a rider needs to read is set smaller. On screen, text starts at 16 px and never drops below 14 px. ## Weights Public Sans is used in four faces. There is no Bold, and the SemiBold takes its place: :::paragraphs{style="specimen"} Regular and *Italic* **SemiBold** and ***SemiBold Italic*** ::: Emphasis is **SemiBold, in ink**, as in this sentence; a heavier weight would compete with the station names. Italic marks the titles of documents and words in another language, such as *andén* on a bilingual sign. ## Spline Sans Mono Departure times, platform codes and colour values are set in Spline Sans Mono, so that the figures on a departure board line up in columns without tabs: :::paragraphs{style="specimen-mono"} 07:42 · 07:46 · 07:51 · #E4572E ::: Use it for values only: at the same size, a sentence in it runs about 30% wider than in Public Sans. # Usage {style="line-5" lead="The network map is the drawing we print most. The rules below apply to every copy of it, printed or on screen."} ## Drawing the map Lines run horizontally, vertically or at 45 degrees, and change direction on a curve three line widths in radius, as in :ref{id="do-grid"}. Lines that share track run side by side at an equal spacing, in the order of their numbers, and bend round one centre. A station is a white dot with an ink rim, and an interchange is a single white capsule drawn across every line that stops there. :ref{id="dont-grid"} breaks each of these rules: free angles, curves of any radius, uneven spacing and stations in the line colour. ## Names on the map Station names are set in Public Sans SemiBold, always horizontal, on the side of the line that has no other line. An interchange carries its name once, beside the capsule. ## Geography Stations are evenly spaced. The one geographical feature on the map is the river, a band of Rule grey. ## Line width and scale The line width sets the scale of the whole drawing: 6 mm on the platform map, 1.5 mm on the pocket map and 4 px on screen at the default zoom. A station dot is 1.4 line widths across with a rim of a quarter of a line width, and a capsule is a dot stretched across the lines it serves. ## Files for suppliers Suppliers receive this manual as a PDF with its typefaces embedded, and as an editable source file that carries Public Sans and Spline Sans Mono. The display face is sent separately from the brand office’s type folder, so that every supplier sets names from the same version of it. Map artwork keeps station names as live text, never as outlines, so that a station renamed by the city can be corrected in every file. :::paragraphs{style="colophon"} Metro de Alba is a fictional network.

boldFontWeight: 600 compone i tratti in grassetto, le intestazioni delle tabelle e le etichette delle didascalie nel SemiBold, perché il marchio non ha un Bold; se la tua famiglia ce l’ha, aggiungi i suoi file a FONTS, elimina l’impostazione e riscrivi la riga di campione dell’esempio e il suo “There is no Bold”, che non sarebbe più vero.

Errori frequenti

Errore frequente

customFonts non carica alcun font

config.customFonts si limita a nominare i file dei font per fileId: buildDocument e i renderer canvas, HTML e PDF non lo leggono mai, quindi una famiglia elencata lì e non registrata viene misurata e disegnata con un font di ripiego. Registra tu ogni variante (un FontFace creato dai suoi byte) prima della prima build e passa gli stessi byte al provider dei font del PDF. createBundle legge l’elenco per mettere i file in un .postext, e la Sandbox lo legge per registrare le varianti. I tuoi font →

Errore frequente

Un grassetto o un corsivo che la famiglia non ha viene simulato a schermo, non nel PDF

Quando il testo chiede un peso o uno stile che la sua famiglia non include (un’intestazione di tabella in grassetto con un font per etichette a una sola variante, un corsivo in un sans senza corsivi), il browser lo sintetizza sul canvas e in HTML, ispessendo o inclinando il tondo sulle stesse larghezze. Un PDF incorpora solo varianti reali, quindi lì la variante più vicina fornita dal provider si stampa in tondo. Metti nell’elenco dei font solo le varianti che la famiglia include e imposta ogni stile di conseguenza, per esempio tableStyle.headerBold: false. Font incorporati nel PDF →

Errore frequente

I file di Fontsource coprono le lettere, non i simboli

Il kit incorpora il file latin di Fontsource di un carattere, più il suo file latin-ext per č, ł, † e il suo file greek per α, χ (nelle famiglie che ne hanno uno: Lora e Gelasio no), quando il testo li compone, a schermo e nel PDF. Simboli come →, ≈, ✓ e ★ non sono in nessuno di quei file e spariscono nel PDF: disegnali, componili come matematica o scegli un carattere i cui file li contengano. Font incorporati nel PDF →

Passa a createBundle i byte di ogni font sotto il fileId che gli assegna customFonts. Una variante senza byte viene esclusa con un avviso “missing file, skipped”, e una famiglia che perde tutte le varianti sparisce dal manifest.
