Font Development
PLG in-house develops fonts and font systems when specialized fonts are required to localize certain languages. Often, a font may not be supported by a particular graphics application, especially when the language in question is less frequently used. For example, FrameMaker does not support some letters of Polish, Lithuanian and Hungarian. In other cases, the available font set of a character language is not complete and misses certain rarely used characters. In either case, PLG will build a font for the application and share the font with the customer.
PLG has also developed its own Chinese/Japanese/Korean font system that has been on the market and used for several years. PLG font development capability makes it a technology leader and the translation service supplier for all of your difficult assignments. There are no languages that PLG cannot process and place in commonly used file formats.
