The Windows Phone 7 platform includes Segoe WP Semilight, and Segoe UI Semilight seems to be a superset of that font.Īpparently new in the Windows 8 Release Preview are three italic variants: Segoe UI Light Italic, Segoe UI Semibold Italic and Segoe UI Semilight Italic.

The latter is in fact used as the caption and small caption font in Windows 8 – Windows Vista and Windows 7 used Segoe UI (Regular). All existing variants of Segoe UI have been updated, and there is one new variant: Segoe UI Semilight.

NET Framework was helpful for retrieving information about the fonts.įirst off, Segoe Print and Segoe Script and their bold variants have not been modified and are still labelled version 5.02 and 5.00, respectively. I was also made aware of some additional information about changes to Segoe UI, including new stylistic sets and support for ligatures: you can read more at Subacme.įurther to my earlier post about Segoe UI Light in Windows 8, I’ve done some more research into the changes to the Segoe family of fonts. Regular SegoeUI, Calibri and Cambria, that are present in config as well, are replaced by Selawik, Carlito and Caladea correctly. The Light and Semibold versions of Segoe UI were bundled with Windows 7. The only problematic font is Segoe UI SemiBold (no idea about SemiLight becasue I dont know what pages are using it). Designed by American type designer Steve Matteson, Segoe UI is a humanist sans serif typeface and a member of the Segoe font family used in Microsoft products for user interface text. Updated: The fonts have been updated in the public beta (Windows Consumer Preview) and release candidate (Windows Release Preview) and I’ve changed the tables below to reflect this. The font used for the logo of Windows 10 is Segoe UI (New Version).

I’ll update this post if there are changes in future builds. Note: the following is based on the Windows 8 Release Preview (build 8400) and may not accurately reflect the final version of Windows 8.
