Avant Garde Gothic Ligatures In Microsoft
A local company that I am working with uses an aftermarket custom font called Avant Garde. They have had it in previous versions of Word and to my knowledge it worked fine in those versions. Howerver, ever since Office 2010 was implemented, Avant Gardeseems to not work correctly.
When using it, it will change size and or spacing automatically after saving and re-opening a document or when working on the document while it is open. I tried re-installing that font but it doesn't seem that resolved the issue.All the built in font's seem to be working fine. Does anyone know of a fix for this or does Avant Garde just not work well in Word 2010? Any help is appreciated. If any other info is needed, let me know.Thanks,Austin.
I needed to clear this up for myself, the truth behind this great and mysterious typeface we know as Avant Garde. So for the benefit of those interested, here is the story:Herb Lubalin (1918 – 1981) was a prominent American graphic designer. In 1962 he teamed up with a journalist called Ralph Ginzburg (1929 – 2006) and together they published a controversial erotic magazine called Eros. By the fourth issue the magazine got shut down for violating federal obscenity laws in the USA. They followed with a magazine called Fact, but this one also came to a premature end due to legal troubles.Six months later Lubalin and Ginzberg released the first issue of Avant Garde, an attractive hard-bound periodical which would run for 14 issues between January 1968 and July 1971.

- ITC Avant Garde Gothic. Inspired by the 1920s German Bauhaus movement, ITC Avant Garde Gothic was designed by Herb Lubalin and Tom Carnase in 1970. The typeface design was based off the logo Lubalin created for Avant Garde magazine. One cool thing I like about Avant Garde is all the crazy alternate characters it contains like the sloped A and V.
- ITC Avant Garde Gothic is a font family based on the logo font used in the Avant Garde magazine. Herb Lubalin devised the logo concept and its companion headline typeface, then he and Tom Carnase, a partner in Lubalin’s design firm, worked together to transform the idea into a full-fledged typeface.

In OpenType, instead of substituting a generic glyph from Symbol, the system infrastructure relies on a glyph being actually built into the font. Adobe's OpenType fonts all have font-specific versions of the former Symbol substitution glyphs, which have different widths than the glyphs from Symbol.
