I just went to the download page for ATM Light, and found that while the Mac version is still available, there is no longer a link to download ATM 4.1.2 for Windows. All that's there is a note saying that it's not needed for Windows 2000 and the system requirements for installing it. The referencing page has the correct information that ATM is required for earlier versions of windows and if you need to create instances of [the no longer supported] multiple master fonts.Referencing page:http://www.adobe.com/products/atmlight/Download page:http://www.adobe.com/products/atmlight/download.htmlDoes anyone know if they've pulled this intentionally and permanently?  It's still available on the FTP site, but that's somewhat arcane. - Herb

I've got Myriad installed on my system as part of CS4, and have been gradually integrating it into my company's Word workflow (using Windows XP SP2).  In most cases, I am able to print directly to the printer (IKON), but sometimes Word will crash to the desktop when attempting to print.  Also, I am unable to PDF these Word documents.  Can anyone suggest a fix for this?

I might be getting involved in a project that involves making a dictionary for a First Nations/Native North American language, and I'd appreciate it if someone could suggest some fonts. The materials are currently mostly in Gentium, which looks okay to me. Although its coverage is impressive and it doesn't look half bad, I have the knee-jerk reaction to free fonts that many of us have - it's not a reasonable reaction, I think, in this case. SIL as an organization is radically different from 1001FreeFonts.com, so I'm not worried about malformed fonts causing issues at print. I'm simply curious if there isn't anything out there that I've never heard of due to the fact that I've spent the last decade in a cash-strapped nonprofit organization. The glyph complement I'd need is already covered by Gentium. It features some IPA here and there, and quite a few characgters that I've never seen in use before. Some of the necessary glyphs include:  Latin letter L with "belt." (What? Belt? Wel

I am facing 2 issues with PS flavoured Opentype (.otf) fonts on Windows XP.1. CharacterMap displays all unicode ranges in such fonts. It is not able to recognise unicode ranges from font file.     For TTF font only latin and Gujarati ranges are shown in Charmap.     For  OTF font Unicode ranges of all languages are show.2. MS Word 2003 is also not able to find complex script support available in the fonts. I have few fonts for Hindi,Gujarati and other indian scripts for which it does not recognise language support in PS fonts. Both typing and conversion from TTF flavoured native windows indic fonts is an issue.

I work part-time for a local restaurant in an accounting capacity and recently they asked me to redesign their bar menu. I'm enjoying the creative process of designing a pleasing look for the menu but I'm struggling with capitalization of menu item descriptions. Currently the menu is inconsistent with capitalizing words which I know is wrong, but I'm not sure what is the best way to go.All menu items have a heading that is capitalized like "Salmon Sandwich" and then the description below will say "Grilled salmon, Applewood smoked bacon with Swiss cheese. Or, "Reuben Sandwich" —"Classic Reuben with corned beef, sauerkraut and swiss on rye with Russian dressing." Should swiss be capitalized, should Russian be capitalized, should something like Ortega chili be capitalized? Should Shitake mushroom be capitalized?Thank you in advance for your thoughts.Patty

  I need a dashed font.  That is, a font where each of the letters is composed of broken lines.  Is there such a font available in Adobe Illustrator?

Hi guys,I recently had an interesting discussion with a client who had raised concern that the numericals in Myriad Pro were visibly smaller than the capitals (eg 24F...the 'F' sits higher than the 24).I checked several other fonts by comparison and noticed alignment varied across most although it does appear slightly more prominent in Myriad Pro.My basic assumption is that it follows the principles of lowercase, that the differences in height create a visible shape difference and assists readability versus if they were all exactly the same height which would create a more solid block.But I can also see my client's point...in certain instances such as the example mentioned...24F...the '24' looks almost .25pts smaller than the F.So was is the reason behind the difference in heights in Myriad Pro?Cheers,Gatorage

I'm working on a document that's full of measurements like 10' x 20'.  I've made sure to use prime marks for all the feet or inches throughout.  Am wondering if the x in 10 x 20 should be changed to a multiplication sign?  Is that standard when you're writing 10 x 20 or should it really be an x?Hope that made sense. Thanks, Phyllis

Hi, I'm using Aachen Standard for my headlines in a brochure.  Can anyone recommend a good font for the body copy?  I usually use a serif like Adobe Garamond for the main text but am thinking maybe something different to go with Aachen?  Any suggestions?  We're using Aachen because it's in our new logo.Thanks, Phyllis

I am new to this whole area of fonts and need some advice please.  I have trawled the internet looking for help - none, I have searched the help of fontbook that comes with apple tiger - absolutley useless in every degree.  So here are my questions/problems:Recently my wife lost 110 fonts over a few months from illustrator, they just started to dissappear mysteriously.  I did an archive and install, several cleans of the machine, all permissions were always good, they did not return.  I uninstalled all adobe creative suite 3 and re-installed via safeboot and suddenly fonts started to come back, from 19 to 40.  I re-booted normally and opened fontbook, fonts went up to 120.  But there are 6 to 8 fonts missing still.  We have NEVER downloaded fonts, never imported them, never imported other documents. I was told by an adobe professional that illustrator doers not install fonts, well this is absolute rubbish after my experiences. Anyone any ideas?My seco

I have always avoided using TT fonts for print, but recently received a template for print that used all True Type fonts in its style sheet. Do you think I'll have problems with the fonts becoming corrupt or any other prolems?

Hi there,I'm working on some legacy files in OS 9 and I'm having a strange problem...On screen all looks fine, but when attempting to print to a PS printer or generating a PDF all upper ascii characters (accented etc.) just disappear leaving blank spaces.The font is Gill Sans Type 1 and all applications are affected. Switching to a different version of Gill Sans has no effect, but switching to a different font cures the problem. In ATM the fonts check out fine and I've tried to ditch printing related preferences, but to no avail.What could be the cause of this?  Does ATM hang on to cache files somewhere?Any help would be very much appreciated.Cheers  Martin

I hope I'm posting this correctly. Things have changed a lot since I frequented the Adobe forums years ago. I work part-time for a local restaurant in an accounting capacity and recently they asked me to redesign their bar menu. I'm enjoying the creative process of designing a pleasing look for the menu but I'm struggling with capitalization of menu item descriptions. Currently the menu is inconsistent with capitalizing words which I know is wrong, but I'm not sure what is the best way to go.All menu items have a heading that is capitalized like "Salmon Sandwich" and then the description below will say "Grilled salmon, Applewood smoked bacon with Swiss cheese. Or, "Reuben Sandwich" —"Classic Reuben with corned beef, sauerkraut and swiss on rye with Russian dressing." Should swiss be capitalized, should Russian be capitalized, should something like Ortega chili be capitalized?Thank you in advance for your thoughts.Patty

I am looking to upgrade to Mac Leopard OS. I have heard there are some problems with postscript 1 fonts. I am looking to convert my hundreds of font to open type 100% without any modification. Please advice me. Buying a new set of fonts is too much for me.

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:Does the usage of a font in a logo depend on the licence from the foundry or is there a legal coverage for this use in general?Is it allowable to create outlines using a font as a base and then modify the letterforms to create a lettermark?Any hints, tips and feedback on the above, or in fact anything related to the above questions would be greatly appreciated!Many thanks,Frank

Hi,How should a professional business plan look like?My teacher just gave me this sample business plan. Now, the content is alright, but what about the typography? I'm not sure, I'm not really a designer, but I do get the feeling it's not as beautiful as it could be. I take it a business plan should appear serious and controlled, almost conservative, as to show investors that you won't do anything stupid with their money. Also, I remember reading somewhere that the best typography is the kind of typography that goes by unnoticed (e.g. nothing fancy) as to not divert the reader's attention from the actual content.I don't know, what do you guys say?Thanks!

Is it like this?Here is my list:* Item 1* Item 2* Item 3 Or like this?Here is my list:   * Item 1   * Item 2   * Item 3 That is, with or without the initial bullet indent? Much obliged!

HiI am having this problem with a logo that is in french and english. The french text equivalent is probably another 50% or so wider than the english. The English text fits nicely under the logo but the problem is that the client wants the text to fit under the graphic of the logo both the english and the french and not stick out. Is it just me or isn't that defying the laws of space and time or something. Am I missing something obvious here?How can two things of different lenghts occupy the same width while maintaining their aspect ratio? Isn't there some sort of layout bible we can look this up in? My only thought might be to add more space between the short words but I think that will look like crap.Any good ideas?-BlackPeregrine

Hi, I am looking for a recommendation of a good SERIF CONDENSED font(commercial one) Thank you very much

"Why do my fonts get corrupted when I use a flash drive to transfer my fonts from my old Mac PowerPC G4 running OS 9.2.2 to the font folders on my newer Mac PowerPC G5 running OS 10.4.11 and Classic?" The fonts (hundreds of them) look fine on the flash drive on my G4 but when I properly drag the flash icon to the trash on the G4 and then plug flash into my G5 all font icons are grayed out rectangles with exe???? This is exasperating to say the least. What am I doing wrong and saves time in font transfer/installation? PLEASE NOTE: If you can, please reply to my email address at freeman2343@comcast.net ~Thanks in advance. ~ Bruce Freeman in Oregon USA

I running CS4 on WindowsXP - system language is English set up to display and edit Asian languages. I do a lot of work with Asian advertisers and have a many hundreds of Chinese and Japanese language fonts in a special fonts folder in addition to thousands of western fonts. I have so many fonts on my computer that I don't want to place them all in the Fonts folder in the Control Panel. Can anyone reccomend a good font manager that will enable me to create fonts sets and display the asian fonts as well as the western. I've tried FontExpert 2009 and Extensis Suitcase, but neither will display the asian fonts properly within the program.
