*Notice: Currently the online version is no longer available due to lack of funding. Even so, we continue to offer the possibility of manufacturing movable type on request. They can do it through the contact form, email or social networks. Sorry for the inconvenience and hopefully it will be available again soon for everyone.

Tips for user

Here is a user manual

Main

This section shows a drop-down menu of the elements with which we want to work on the screen.

To work with movable type, the user selects a font from a list and a set of virtual movable type created with the selected font automatically appears on the screen. The set of types consists of the alphabet in uppercase, in lowercase, numerals and symbols.

Within this section you can vary the size and magnitude of the body. Two international font heights can be selected, but a custom height can be entered manually. Another option in this section is to set the custom height to «0» to work only with raised letters.

Types

There is also the possibility to convert the font to its bold and italic version, or change the height of the types for use in different countries. By default two international heights can be selected, but a custom height can be entered manually. Another option in this section is to set the custom height to «0» and flip the font to work only with raised letters.
