Hello,
I'm planning to use the font KaiTi for my desktop application, it's a Chinese font shipped with Windows 7 (possibly XP and Vista too). The font file itself will not be distributed or included in the app, however I'm going to rasterize the characters and include this raster version in the app. The user can then look at the character and see how the strokes are drawn.
Do you think the KaiTi license allow me to do so?
Laurent
If you have a paragraph of text with a bold word at the end of the paragraph, do you bold the fullstop as well or leave it as previous font weight?
example:
Is this correct:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed condimentum augue ac augue consectetur hendrerit. <--non bold fullstop
or this:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed condimentum augue ac augue consectetur hendrerit. <--bold fullstop
Thanks in advance
Hi,
Somehow need to get this (Russian/Turkish?) name – Aygen Yayıkoğlu – into Frutiger body copy. It's the 'g' with the breve-looking thing I can't figure out. Any ideas? Desperate...
Cheers.
I'm having a hard time trying to understand how Adobe's fonts can and cannot be distributed.
In particular, I would like to use Adobe KaiTi for my desktop software. The font file itself will not be distributed but the outlines will be embedded and encrypted within a database. Then the software reads this database, displays a character and show how the character should be drawn. The user cannot type or save text using the font. Does Adobe KaiTi's license allow this?
Edit: for information the font embeddability on Windows is "Editable" which means "can be embedded within content that can be edited by the user."
I need to know what font this is... any of you font lovers out there know?Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Hello everyone
I'm doing a job using Helvetica Neue for a client who has specified that it should be from the Monotype foundry. On checking mine (in Quark's utilities) it says what I'm using is a Adobe Systems Type 1 Postscript font. When I looked online to research about purchasing the Monotype version I keep finding it mostly available as either as Linotype or Adobe but Monotype is really rare, other than from 1 US font site. Certain sites imply that Linotype and Monotype is the same !!! Are they so different from the different foundries that text will reflow quite a bit? It's an expense that I can quite do without if I can help it.
In addition I find it very confusing that there is a Helvetica Neue Roman AND a Helvetica Neue 55 (or light and 45 etc) in my drop down font menu. Is this because they are from 2 different foundries that has mixed up in my system? Sometimes when I get work back having used the '55', I find that it's been changed to the 'roman' version and I need to change it back again. I am concerned that if I use the Monotype version it'll add another layer of problem to this existing one.
Another thing is, sometimes you see the font listed as Neue Helvetica, and Helvetica Neue (reversed order). Other times it's spelt as HelveticaNeue with no space between the 2 words and other times there's a space. It's all very confusing. Again is this because thaey are from different foundries?
Lastly, is there a place in InDesign v5 that gives this info in a similar way to Quark's Utilities eg Path, Folder and Foundry etc for easy reference?
Thanking in advance for your help.

I am on a mac snow leopard working mostly in Illustrator. Others apps InDesign, After Effects, Premiere. Can someone please explain AFM files, how and when to use them?
Please correct or confirm, but my understanding is that AFM information is in the bitmapepd files of older formats, and within opentype, so there really is no need for .AFM files on the mac.
If the kerning information is in the font already, then why do you always have to kern ones and periods in most fonts. Optical seems to do a better job than auto, but I often later have to tighten the tracking. Is auto using the AFM infomration in the font, and optical is using the Illustrator engine to calculate new kern pairs.
Reference image below.
I need to get a number to sit on the baseline in a line of text but it automatically sits below the baseline. Is there a term for this? And how do I got about fixing it?
Thanks!
I am looking for a pixilated font like http://www.fontshop.com/fonts/singles/club21/preset_f_ot/
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks
(This is my first post in these forums, so apologies if this topic is not appropriate.)
I've written a pile of Java utility code to generate PDFs with subsetted TrueType fonts using a CID-keyed font. (I know: there are multiple frameworks that do this type of thing. But I'm a hobbyist tinkerer who enjoys building things, and I'm enjoying learning how these technology stacks hang together.)
My code creates a font descriptor with a /FontFile2 reference to my TrueType font program output stream. The subsetted font always has the .notdef glyph at glyphIndex 0, with subsetted glyphs thereafter as they are first referenced. I'm using an identity mapping of CID==GlyphID. (I've been reading the various specs... the ISO PDF 1.7 reference, TrueType and OpenType specs at Microsoft and Apple, and several Adobe Tech Notes on various font and CMap technologies.)
All this seems to work.
However I'd like to also explore OpenType fonts with glyphs in a 'CFF ' table (CIDFontType0 instead of my CIDFontType2), and in preparation I'm trying to adapt my current TrueType-based code to OpenType using a /FontFile3 reference.
That's where the wheels fall off the train. Since I'm still dealing with 'glyf'-based fonts, I expected minimal changes, e.g., switching the font file dictionary key and putting the /Subtype -> /OpenType wrapper on the font stream itself.
Adobe Acrobat renders the resulting PDF just fine, and preflighting didn't bring up any errors (though possibly I'm not using Acrobat right). However OS X Preview under Mavericks scrambles my glyph mapping in a way that I can't mentally reverse engineer. I've tried tweaking things, but I'm stuck.
So my questions are: if your font subset is a TrueType-based CID font with 'glyf' outlines using /FontFile2, what changes are necessary to make an equivalent OpenType font using /FontFile3? and/or Does Mavericks Preview support PDFs with /FontFile3 and 'glyf'-based OpenType fonts? I think the odds are with me misunderstanding aspects of the specifications, and it's also possible that my /FontFile2 code is also broken in a way that (un)fortunately is forgiven by both Acrobat and Preview.
(I have two "equivalent" PDF examples of what my code generates that I can try to attach if this topic gets any traction.)
Thank you in advance!

I am trying to figure what this font is, it's either this image or at least really really close enough.
Thanks
Hi
i would like to purchase some fonts from Adobe and use them for text in my commercial online videos that people get paid access to watch. These fonts have embedding permission of Print and Preview. Please let me know whether this use infringes the license agreement or not.

Hi,
I have a question concerning the commercial usage of the fonts incorporated in Illustrator. Is it legal to use them (after converted into outlines) for creating stock vectors and then selling them on stockphotos/designs web pages? If I have purchased the product itself, do I have to purchse also the embedded fonts separately in order to create files for commercial purposes? I would be grateful if you could provide me a clear and concreate answer. I have been searching for a month to get a response and I haven't found it yet. Thank you very much for your precious help.
Does anyone know where I can find a Type 3 font (the .afm and .pfb) in the Garamond typeface with all 4 styles (normal, bold, italic and bold italic)?
Thanks!
Dear all,
I'm asking your help regarding a small issue with the Myriad Roman and Myriad Italic font.
Today I opened an "old" document I created in a previous Illustrator version (CS 6). But when I wanted to save it into a pdf file, a bad message told me some parts of the file can't be saved due to font restriction: The font Myriad-Roman could not be embedded in the PDF document because of licensing restrictions. Stroke text will not be visible.
How can I manage this? I have a lot of documents with Myriad Roman or Italic in it, so this is very disturbing for me right now... :-/
Thanks in advance fo your help
Hi,
Are you supposed to use accent marks on capital letters? I'm creating a design (for a graphic-design class) about the painter Salvador Dali (the Ii in his last name has an accent mark on it). I'm going to use the name DALI in all-caps. I'm not sure if the accent is used in all caps. Does anyone know?
Thanks, Phyllis
Please help. In some Adobe system files "Serbian" language is mentioned, but how to reach it? It'll be enough to get support for hyphenation of full aligned text.
Hi All,
Been looking for information on using and modifying fonts in logo designs and have been finding conflicting messages.
I'm interested in the following questions in general, but if anyone has specific info on ITC fonts that would be appreciated too:
Any hints, tips and feedback on the above, or in fact anything related to the above questions would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
Frank
