I want to change the color of the dot in the letter "i" to be orange, while the remaining part of the "i" to stay white.

For instance, I've found a free front called Quicksand on this website: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/quicksand?q%5Bterm%5D=quicksand&q%5Bsearch_check%5D=Y

How do I edit the color of just the dot in the "i" ? Is it legal to edit fonts like this?

Thanks everyone

  • In this day and age?? We landed on the moon but I can't change the color of the dot? Sort of joking, but it just seems like such a simple thing. – Mathomatic Mar 09 '15 at 19:43
  • Barely. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenType#Color – SLaks Mar 09 '15 at 19:45

This is only a bare outline: as SLaks pointed out, fonts are mostly monochrome by design. However, there is a character small letter dotless i and combining dot above.

So, you can fake it, but it doesn't look very convincing, and it's not automatic for all your i's:

<div style="font-size:40px">&#x0131;<span style="color:orange">&#x0307;</span></div>

  • Interesting. I really appreciate the feedback both of you. I'll just stick to using an image for my header instead. Thanks! – Mathomatic Mar 09 '15 at 20:45
