Can someone help indentify the font that is used in the Allsteel corporate logotype:

I tried posting this via the email link. We'll see what happens. And while I'm at it, did the ATM forum also disappear? - Herb

I just learned that Adobe has discontinued NNTP (Newsreader/Newsgroup) access to these forums. I only found out because I couldn't connect via NNTP and came here to the 'general' forum to register a problem ... which turned out to be 'a feature'. I'm afraid that I won't be coming by here as often, if at all. Going to a website to see if there's any activity is a PITA compared to the NNTP alternative, where the group name just sits there among others and gets highlighted when there's new activity. I posted some more detailed objections (aka whined) in the general forum.  - Herb V B

Anyone know what the current typeface trends in today's news broadcasts? I notice Trade Gothic was popular in the early 2000s. I see a lot of stations use Din lately. Are there any other modern ones you notice?

(This notice has been updated repeatedly to discuss: OS X 10.2, Adobe app bugs with 10.2 support, "cocoa" applications; Adobe phasing out MM font sales; Adobe discontinuing tech support for MM fonts. Last update: 23 Sep 2005.) With versions 10.0 and 10.1, Mac OS X's native support for Type 1 and OpenType initially failed to include support for multiple master Type 1 fonts. This problem is fixed in OS X version 10.2 and later for applications using the "carbon" APIs, but not for applications using "cocoa" APIs. The two most common "cocoa" applications are TextEdit and Keynote. Note that applications running in "Classic" mode are unaffected. They still need ATM for supporting Type 1 fonts, including multiple master fonts. There is a workaround for some Adobe applications, such as InDesign 2, Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 7. You can rely on the native font imaging support in these applications, which is largely independent of the OS. Just put the fonts in the the Fonts folder in the app

i try to extract glyphIndex from cmap tables ,I'd like to ask about if a character code maybe appear in many cmap tables for Ex: a character code can appear in both cmap0 and cmap4 tables? and if this case happened then should the glyphIndex of the character be extracted from the higher cmap

I was just wondering if anyone can recommend a font which is typically American or one which has a American feel/look? I don't know if such a thing exists - I have not properly checked yet! Any suggestions much appreciated! Many thanks in advance! Adam

Hello Couple of days before i have bought new wp theme. Now i wish to add logo based on existing logo in the header. Some one Clarify me the name font which used in my blog header. My blog name was http://www.cutebabynames.co.in

I routinely update PDFs where the originator is unavailable to question about typography issues. The problem I'm having currently, and continue to have, is that Acrobat (on V8) identifies font names differently from say...the Adobe Store. For instance, currently I'm editing a PDF that uses fonts from the "HelveticaNeue" family. I don't have this font, so if I go over to the Adobe store and try to find it, I get multiple types of "HelveticaNeue" font, and none of them are exactly what Acrobat provides as the name. For instance: Acrobat says: HelveticaNeue-Black Adobe store offers: Helvetica Neue Std Black Helvetica Neue 93 Black Helvetica Neue 95 Black and so on and so forth But NO "HelveticaNeue-Black" is in the list. Neither the spelling of the Acrobat font family, or the actual full name seem to match anything in the Adobe store. So, does anyone know a way to figure out exactly which font family Acrobat has in the PDF? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I was hoping someone might be able to help me understand how fonts work in PDFs. Sometimes when I create a PDF in InDesign, I get a warning message "only fonts with appropriate permission bits will be enabled". (Having said that, I've been PDFing old files like mad to get it to happen, and can't reproduce the warning message...) Can someone explain what this message means? Does it relate to ill-gotten fonts, because as far as I know, I only have purchased fonts (including ones that come with applications) on my system. Does this message mean that some fonts in my PDFs may appear differently on other people's systems? I was under the impression that all fonts are embedded in a PDF. Finally, what does this mean for free fonts, like from dafont.com - do they have appropriate permission bits? Are permission bits related to preventing illegal use of fonts? If anyone can shed some light on this, or point me in the direction of some online information, I'd be most grateful. Sorry f

Hi everyone, Above the subject line is our project title. I am much interested to do the project for this title. The project is going to cover by five units. I have knowledge about fonts and its types, font caches, font hierarchies for both MAC and Windows platforms. I am doing my Printing Technology Engineering as part time. As well working in e-publishing concern as a Lead Technical in R&D Team. For this project we have three reviews. First review got finished. In this review we just give an introduction about the fonts. Remaining two reviews is there. Our motive is to find font related problems in all applications and solutions for it. I need suggestion from you guys that what are all the topics need to be covered in this project and how the project should be. I need your effective support for this. Thanks in advance Thiyagu

Years ago I purchased Kepler MM and quickly became very fond of it. I loved its combination of modern and humanist characteristics -- the high contrast with the soft, lachrymal and wedge-shaped serifs on characters such as "c," "a," and "r." But technology moved on and Adobe stopped supporting Multiple Master fonts. Compatibility problems with OS X, etc., meant that the font had to be put away for several years. Recently I had a chance to redesign a magazine and chose Kepler as the main text and display font. Since Leopard now supports MM fonts, I installed it and used it successfully for the first issue. For various reasons, now I would like to convert the MM fonts to the OpenType version of Kepler. But Kepler Std is a MUCH different typface than Kepler MM. Gone are the old serifs, replaced with more traditional modern ball-shaped serifs on the "r" and "a." The lowercase "a" now even sports a full tail, instead of the truncated one found on Kepler MM. I'm sure I'll continue with t

I own a legal copy of the Tekton Multiple Master. It came bundled with my original copy of ATM 4.0, which worked fine when I was using Windows NT/2000. The OS on my current home PC is XP. When I try to install Tekton using the built-in Windows Font Installer, no fonts are recognized on the ATM CD. Is there some way to "recover" (uncover?) a usable copy of Tekton from this CD? It's one of my favorite fonts, but I can't afford to replace it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a feeling I know the answer, but have to ask it anyway. Thanks! Catherine

Where may I purchase the GE Inspira type face and its variants? Thanks! Bryan

What is the difference between true type flavor and post script flavor? I noticed that ttf is often more expensive the otf. Does this mean ttf is more compatible with more applications? Are they both still compatabile with both macs and pcs?

Windows XP user, application: FrameMaker We having a difficulty in producing a CE languages DTP cause of CE fonts (ex.

I have created a logo that is essentially a stylized font. It's now saved as outlines, so I can manipulate the letters individually. One of the things I did was shrink the capital letters of the company name just a bit. In other words, if the name of the company is: "Hamburger Paradise", the "H" and the "P" are a little bit smaller in relation to the lowercase letters. It looks great, except that the thickness of the stroke of the "H" and the "P" is just a bit narrower than the rest of the letters. Anyone know how to scale these letters and keep the scale? I can probably fake it, but I'd like it to be completely accurate.

Hello, when installing Adobe CS3 a lot of fonts are installed automatically. Which fonts are definately needed to operate the Adobe CS3 programs correctly? Thanks for your help, Travellingfritz

I am so lost; Can someone please tell me how to install downloaded fonts into CS3, I have already extracted them, but for some reason they wont appear in photoshop?

I'm doing some spring cleaning on my fonts, and thought I'd minimize the installed fonts to the basics. Anyone know the necessary fonts related to adobe to keep in the system directory? (I'll be managing the fonts I like as usual and load them back in on a as needed basis.) thanks for any info. Pete

I have a logo set in Palatino (it's our company logo) and I just found out that I have 2 versions of it: one with the ® symbol in Helvetica and the other one set in Palatino, like the logo. Which font should be used for that symbol? Is there a rule for that, or is it just a matter of taste?

I have typefonts in a "Fonts" folder on my G4 (OS 9.1) that are not on my iMAC (OS 10.5.5). Is there a way to transfer and use them? Right now when I burn the (PostScript and printer) fonts onto a CD they become unix files on my iMAC.
