eihintatekijä

Eihintatekijä is a Finnish term that translates to "non-hinting font" in English. It refers to a type of digital font that does not include hinting information. Hinting is a process used in font design to improve the appearance of fonts on low-resolution screens, such as those found in older computers and mobile devices. By including hinting information, fonts can be made to appear sharper and more legible on these screens.

Eihintatekijä fonts, on the other hand, do not include this hinting information. Instead, they rely on the rendering engine of the device to interpret and display the font. This can result in less consistent and sometimes less legible text, especially on low-resolution screens. However, eihintatekijä fonts can be more versatile and easier to use in certain contexts, such as when designing for high-resolution screens or when the font will be used in a variety of different environments.

The use of eihintatekijä fonts has become more common in recent years, as the resolution of screens has increased and the need for hinting has decreased. However, the choice between using a hinted or eihintatekijä font ultimately depends on the specific needs and goals of the designer or user.
