# Gilbert usage guide | ||
The Gilbert font family is part of an ongoing project, Type With Pride: www.typewithpride.com | ||

- The Gilbert Color font relies on a new color font format, OpenType-SVG. | ||
- It can be installed on both Mac & PC but its colors will only show up on recent systems (macOS Mojave 10.14 and over) and apps (InDesign CC 2019+, Illustrator 2018+, Photoshop 2017+). | ||
- On older systems and apps, the multicolored letters will be displayed as a black font. Gilbert Color includes such a fallback solution, so while the font might look black on your operating system, the color font data is still around: just load Photoshop CC 2017 or a more recent version and you will see the color letters. | ||
|
||
*Gilbert* can be installed and used in most apps and operating systems, like any other standard OpenType font file. | ||
|
||
*Gilbert Color* can also be installed on both Mac & PC but it will be displayed only in a few apps since it relies on a new color font format, [OpenType-SVG](https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/svg.htm). Color fonts are currently supported by [a couple browsers](http://stateofwebtype.com/#OpenType-SVG) (Firefox and Microsoft Edge) and [more recently](https://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/photoshop-cc-adds-support-for-opentype%E2%88%92svg-fonts-an-in-depth-look/) at least by one creative app (Photoshop CC 2017). | ||
|
||
Yet no operating system already support color fonts. | ||
|
||
The good news is you can include a fallback version within the same font file: a color font file may then also include a standard "black" font to ensure anyone can see the shapes of the typeface, whatever color font support they have. | ||
|
||
Gilbert Color includes such a fallback solution, so when you install Gilbert Color on your computer, it will simply show up as a black font. Don't panic, the color font data is still around: just load Photoshop CC 2017 and you will see the color font: | ||

You can try it by yourself by loading the sample Photoshop PSD file, TheQuickBrownFox.psd (remember, Photoshop CC 2017 is required) | ||
|
||
FYI, many other software, browser and operating system makers are interested to support color fonts, so you can expect to be able to use Gilbert Color in many more apps soon ;) | ||
