Tahoma™ Family stands as one of Microsoft's most widely used sans-serif typeface families.
Initially comprising two Windows TrueType fonts—regular and bold—the original Tahoma™ Family was crafted to address the challenges of on-screen display, especially at smaller sizes within dialog boxes and menus.
In 2010, Ascender Corporation expanded the Tahoma font family by introducing italics.
As a result, the family now encompasses four fonts: Tahoma regular, italic, bold, and bold italic.
Renowned type designer Matthew Carter designed the Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic characters, and Tom Rickner, a leading hinting expert, provided hand instructions.
Setting new standards in system font design, Tahoma is recognized for its excellence in User Interface scenarios and other contexts requiring clear on-screen information presentation.
The character set includes Latin-1 and WGL Pan-European (covering Eastern European, Cyrillic, Greek, and Turkish scripts).

Desktop licenses are based on the font user count. Modifications in user quantity can be made through the quantity dropdown option on procurement interfaces. It is advisable to examine the foundry's Desktop license to understand potential constraints which might include logo/trademark usage, geographical limits (number of sites), and the creation of marketable goods. To augment users post-purchase, Desktop licenses are aggregative. For extra users, just re-purchase the identical Desktop bundle for the necessary quantity of users.
App: Approved for integration within mobile apps. Choose this license type for app development on platforms like iOS, Android, or Windows Phone, incorporating the font file into your mobile application's coding.
Webfont: Reserved for website application. Employable on a singular domain. Entities managing numerous websites must not distribute a singular webfont license across multiple sites. Each access of a page utilizing the webfont (calling the webfont kit CSS with @font-face rule) triggers a pageview count per webfont in the kit. If webfonts are utilized in website graphics, a Desktop license may be more appropriate. Multiple webfont licenses exist: Annual, Pay Once, and Pay As You Go, of which only one option will be accessible per webfont.

Advertising usage patterns differ from those of websites; therefore, the Digital Ads EULA presents terms conducive for use in digital ads and ad networks. Given the varied nature of ad impressions, prices are designed to reflect this, favoring the Digital Ad license for predetermined impression counts or for retrospective adjustments at each month's conclusion.
Electronic Doc: Permitted for embedding within electronic texts such as eBooks, eMagazines, eNewspapers, or interactive PDFs. Licensing is determined by the frequency of publication use, with each edition representing a new publication. Variants in region or format are not recognized as unique publications, and updated free versions do not require a new license. However, each new paid version does represent a new publication. For font use in e-publishing visual covers, consider a Desktop license.
