Multiple Master font

Allows you to check if the document contains Multiple Master fonts.

Multiple Master fonts are an extension of the Type 1 font format. Their particularity is that you can use e.g. Adobe Type Manager to create variants of a standard font (i.e. the “Master” font).

These variants can be created by modifying the font along different design axes (e.g. weight, width,...), between the fixed extremes or “Masters” at the end of each design axis.





Typically, Multiple Master fonts have two design axes, which require four masters. These masters can be considered the cornerstones of the matrix.

Note: You can recognize a Multiple Master font by the double “M” in its name, e.g. “TektoMM_308_wt_564_wd”.
