Hi,

 

Wondering if anyone successfully installed new chinese characters fonts in PS CS4?

 

I downloaded some fonts, managed to install in Windows but these chinese fonts are not reflected in PS. I'm currently using Vista.

I only have problem with chinese fonts as installation of other fonts works well.

 

The chinese fonts i'm trying to install are named HanDing-CS-Fonts (Truetype).

 

Can anyone help me out with this?

 

Thanks! = )

I need help finding a specific Helvetica font.

Hello,

 

I have a PDF which i am trying to edit in Adobe illustrator

 

When the PDF loads it says: "The font Helvetica is missing.  Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font"

In Adobe Reader, Properties/Fonts the font in question is called:

 

Helvetica  (Embeded Subset)

Type: Type 1

Encoding: Ansi

 

I am unable to locate a matching font in the Adobe Store

 

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to match this font?

 

(There were two other fonts I was able to match - Helvetica-Bold and Helvetica-BoldOblique because the names matched a font on the font store)

 

Thanks for your help

Need help in finding a font for a logo

$

I was looking for help in finding a font for my logo. I'm not a designer at all, so I'm calling on all the fine designers and folks on the Adobe site to help me out. All replies are, of course, appreciated and any suggestions/comments/ideas will be welcome.

 

I'm designing a logo for my film company. I wanted to keep it simple but not boring either. I put together the first draft of the logo using Photoshop CS3 and used Trajan Pro for the film company words (Panthera Films) and used Futura for the slogan ("Inspiration through Imagination"). While I don't mind the fonts, it's simple but, alas, too boring. I love the panther image but need a dynamic font for "Panthera Films" and a complimenting font for the slogan. 

 

Can anyone recommend a good combination of fonts to replace the Trajan Pro and Futura? As well, I want to give the logo a nice presence without it being too loud, bold or jumping off the page. As well, should the font for "Films" be the same as "Panthera" or can they be different?

 

The image I attached is something I was thinking to use as a banner on a website.

 

Any help would be appreciated too with this

 

TIA,

Dale

Myriad pro "ys" printing bold on windows printer

$

I recently designed a huge media kit for my newspaper. The project was created in InDesign v.2 on my Mac  and the only font I used was versions of Myriad Pro - regular, bold, condensed, etc. I made pdfs and sent them to the salespeople who all use Windows computers and printers. They complained that when they printed the pages, the "y" in the body text (Myriad Pro Regular) would print in bold, although the text was not intended to be bold. I printed from my Mac to various printers here with no problems.

 

Does anyone know what is causing the issue and how it can be fixed? Is this a Windows compatibility issue? It only happens with Myriad. No other fonts have this problem.

 

If I can't correct the problem, I may be forced to redo my design and change body text to Helvetica

 

Any insight would greatly be appreciated.

Mathematical Pi LT Std OTF: Version 10/Version 11 conflict?

$
0
0

Client's files were created using Font Folio OTF, version 10. We have Adobe Font Folio OTF, version 11 (since Version 10 was no longer available at time of purchase).

 

When opening client's InDesign files, ALL Mathematical Pi LT Std OTFcharacters show (and PDF) as a multiplication dot.

 

Originally we thought that the problem was font embedding, since most of the InDesign files we've received from the client consist of placed, linked, and locked references to base files. However, we've also received unlocked, standard InDesign files and the problem persists.

 

We have tried emptying font caches, reinstalling fonts from the original disk (and emptying font caches again), etc. Because the files are locked, we are unable (and have not been contracted) to go in and change the fonts to the newer version. It is not clear whether the client will be able to purchase and replace the fonts themselves. Font Folio Version 10 is no longer available for sale (that I can see), so we cannot downgrade to the earlier version of the font.

 

Is there a reason that the newer version of the font is causing all glyphs to map to a single, incorrect glyph? Did the glyph map for Mathematical Pi LT Std OTF change when moving from FF OTF Version 10 to FF OTF Version 11? Has anyone else had problems with the font?

 

We have a mixture of files, some of which (client-created) use the Version 10 font and some of which (contractor-created) use Version 11. These two sets of files are now joining into one production stream. We're hoping that there's some systemic cure (such as an updated font that doesn't remap all characters).

 

Any advice will be welcome.

 

Thanks,

spacing after full stop

Hi

 

My printer is complaining that my justified text makes it look like there is no space after a full stop. In some cases, it does appear this way.

 

Is there any way to set a minimum or uniform amount of space after each full stop, within justified text? I have searching this forum + google but did not find an answer.

 

Many thanks..

Where can I find Font parsing or Text rasterization algorithm

Hello,

 

I am working on a project where I need to get graphic outline details (like line, curve, etc) from the font files (.otf, .cff, .ttf,  etc) for given character.

 

For example: I have .cff font file and a character (say character 'A'). using that I want the actual graphical information for that character which can be printed to bitmap canvas.

 

I am using c#.Net and ultimately I want to create captcha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA) runtime. But I dont want to install the fonts in my windows directory.

 

I am not sure whether this technique is known as font parsing or text rasterization, What is the correct name of this technique?

 

Can anyone please provide me the information about the algorithm?

 

Thanks,

Hardik


Anyone recognize this font? Client gave us vectorized number set but not the font.

I'm building a flash app that has a lot of dynamic content so I need this font so I don't have to replace each number with a vector graphic. The client doesn't have the actual font and they do not know what it is.

 

Hopefully you can see this link - http://i.imgur.com/cLrca.jpg

 

Thanks in advance for you help.

Common font size on business cards?

Most examples I've come across range between 7-8pt. Whereas my client insists he had never seen anything less than 9pt+. I would love to get some feedback on this.

A question for pro typographers only

I have to find some text  and signage type to go with an identity that uses Doyald Young's Finesse Light. It actually looks OK with the symbol that another designer sold to the client. (I have been given far worse.) But, what to use with this? Any ideas? I am stumped… The signature portion of the identity uses all caps, which helps and makes it look more classical. A bit like Trajan, before it was overused. Finesse Light is more similar to the heavier Berthold Christiana.

Typekit not publishing font correctly - Regular is showing up as Italic in published page

Typekit font (Source Sans Pro) is not rendering correctly when publishing site from Muse. I know not to expect it to preview correctly (sigh) but it is not publishing. Ex: Source Sans Pro Light 16 point is publishing/displaying in web page as ITALIC, not regular. HELP!

 

This issue is cross-platform, PC and Mac.

 

 

Looks great in Design, Preview all messed up, but PUBLISH shows font as displayed in Preview, NOT as displayed in Design.

 

HOT TOPIC please!

 

Thanks

Amharic (Ethiopian) anybody?

We are about to embark on typesetting our Bible (Koren) in number of bilingual versions (Hebrew - English, Hebrew - French, etc.). We are going to be setting our English, French, Spanish and Russian version using the new Arno Pro.

Our problem is Amharic. We have a text, but unfortunately our in-house knowledge of Amharic is zilch. Is there anybody out there that can recommend what high-quality (ie like Arno and Minion) Amharic fonts are available for purchase? I dont want to typeset the Bible in the Amharic equivalent of Times or Courier.

Thanks,

Copy/Pasting from Hebrew font in PDF

Hi -

 

I'm trying to copy and paste text from a PDF so I can edit and analyze the contents.  The file was created in Hebrew. It is set of Israel's election results and available on their government website: http://www.moin.gov.il/Apps/PubWebSite/mainmenu.nsf/4DF815EA4AC4E503C2256BA6002EE732/8E408 A044EE1D3EDC2257520002817B8/$FILE/News.pdf.

 

Under document properties, the fonts listed are Helvetica (standard) and two unknown, embedded subsets (TTE1C42600t00 and TTE1DA2290t00).

 

I have tried:

- Copy and pasting text from Reader 9 --> opening in Word and Excel, changing around fonts

- Copy and pasting text from Acrobat 8 Professional --> opening in Word and Excel, changing around fonts

- Right-click, open table as spreadsheet

- Exporting as .doc, .TIFF, PostScript, .txt, .html

- Export as image, running OCR (trialware Hebrew OCR program I used did not pick up all characters correctly)

- Adobe website mentions an Adobe Reader Middle Eastern Edition 7, but when I go to download it, it takes me to the regular Reader v9 page

 

Can anyone think of a way to extract the data from this document so that it is editable?

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Free Fonts - Help Us Find Them

After a small discussion in a seperate thread, it was apparent that there may be a need for a list of places where you can get free fonts.

 

Please contribute information that would help the community.  It could be advice on where to get good free fonts or even advice on places that should be avoided because of bad quality fonts, etc.  Also, feel free to suggest some places that may have inexpensive paid fonts that are high quality as well.

 

Obviously, avoid suggesting pirated fonts or where to get them.  Keep this discussion "legit".

How do I give someone access to a Typekit font

$

I wanted to hand some work to one of my freelancers but he's not a CC member, so he can't access one of the fonts we're using in this project.

Is there a way I can share a font with him without having to buy it?

 

The font family is Museo Slab. I have access to it myself using my CC subscription & typekit, but this doesn't give me a local copy of the font on my machine.

 

I would be grateful if someone could shed some light on this – I am aware that licensing may be the issue here. Am I able to give me designer access to my CC subscription maybe, and if so what implications might this have?

 

Thanks.
