Type & Typography

I am trying to modify a font (not a roman script, the glyphs are ideograms) I'm new to FontForge and I struggle to do operations like the following. I suppose that the only possible way is to use a script. Say I have a glyph selection, I'd like to know, for each glyph, what is the lowest point (Y coordinate), and to move the glyph according to a delta I give. Here's a specific example: I select 3 glyphs. I want all glyphs bottom aligned at Y = 100. First glyph has its lowest Y a 80, I move it -20. Second glyph has its lowest Y a 25, I move it -75. Third glyph has its lowest Y a 110, I move it +10. Is there way to achieve this? Command line, script, etc. I searched Stackoverflow for hours. I didn't find anything related." (I also obviously looked at the FF documentation)   Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance...

I have a single word that has been used as a logo since 1993, that was done by hand by an artist friend of my client. Is [it possible to] create a font based off of 6 letters?   [Edited by moderator. This is not a job site.]

Hello Community, I purchased eight MM fonts "back in the day" and am wondering whether Adobe ATM Deluxe or any other program can save the various instances of those fonts as Type 1 Postscript fonts -- i.e. not MM fonts. I seem to recall ending up with a bunch of files with names that contained numbers in them reflecting the weight and width axis. On one of the utility disks I see a program called Font Creator 3.0. Might this be what is used to do that? Sorry for the Oldbe questions -- I can probably figure this out by experimenting, but if anybody knows directly about doing this, I would greatly appreciate it. Alternatively, is there another program that can easily save Multiple Master specific fonts to Postscript Type 1 fonts? Thanks in advance, Tom

Yes, I saw the warnings about Type 1 fonts... I have been using PostScript fonts since 1988, that I paid for, but are now useless, when once they were the gold standard. Accepted fact: Adobe is now using OpenType fonts.  Question #1: All of my T1 fonts have vanished from my CC dashboard. Can I assume that Adobe has automatically removed all Type 1 fonts from my dashboard (one less worry)?  Question #2: Before obtaining a license, does any InDesign designer here have a similar font replacement suggestion for the Helvetica Neue Condensed family that is available with the Creative Cloud subscription? I see that Palatino is Latin URW and Univers is Trade Gothic.  Thanks. 

I have a complex site and app using adobe fonts, in many cases integrated with Elementor, but not always.One of the primary fonts I have been using is Futura PT. However it appears Futura PT does not have curly quotes, which I would like to see in certain situations.  Any ideas for workarounds? Should I try to make a hybrid with Aktiv Grotesk for example and somehow integrate the two fonts? I'm not sure I can do this, but it's my only thought.Thank you for any suggestions.

Can anyone please tell me which fonts are standard within Adobe and MS office.  Someone told me only Arial will not cause any problems. Surely this can't be true? Thanks

Hello, I’m a student and I’m using the Century Gothic font in Microsoft applications at university. I want to create a logo with this font for my semi-commercial homepage. Can you please tell me whether I need to purchase a license to publish my logo, which only contains individual characters of this font? Thank you very much in advance!

I created a label designfor a client in 2017 using the Adobe font "Veneer".My client is now being approached by someone claiming to be the foundry, stating the "font EULA, appears to be restricted use, yet the foundry Yellow Design Studio has no record of the appropriate license extension(s) having been purchased. This font was not included in my Adobe Cloud subscription prior to January 2023."My understanding (according to the Adobe website terms & cond.) is that the Adobe font is already installed on my end as I own an Adobe Creative Cloud license and pay monthly for it in order to service my clients.  Thus I did not need to purchase an extra license.Anyone have any insights into this? Any help would be appreciated.Janeen V 

Hello I have the impression that there are 2 different fonts and one is pixelated, but I can’t identify either of them.  Could you help me?  Thank you.

When opening any Adobe program (Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign specifically) on my 2015 Macbook Pro, the programs work just fine overall, but the text on the landing/loading page for each app shows (mostly) as just boxes with x's in them, as if the symbol is not supported - but for every letter of (almost) every word. (see screenshots) Once in the respective app, the menu text works fine for the most part - some of the tool tip pop-ups are buggy like the landing screen, but I can usually manage. I've contacted support previously, but they were unable to provide a solution. I've also looked to see if anyone else has posted about this issue, and was unable to find anything. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, updated to the one of the most recent OS (Monteray) that my device can handle, and have made sure all Adobe programs are up-to-date. I've also tried installing Adobe Clean fonts in case it was something to do with my computer not having the necessary font file, but that

Hello to all,Years ago the Adobe Type 1 typefaces came in white envelopes with the floppy disks enclosed. The white envelopes had legalese printed on them. If my memory serves me correctly, the legalese noted that the end user had bought a license to use the software (the Type 1 fonts) until a certain date. What was that date? I destroyed these white envelopes in a move in 2008. Thanks.

The letter U in the Avenir Next bold font (which installs with the Mac OS) has a problem that is showing up only when used in Adobe applications. Look at the letter U in this screenshot. It appears larger than it should All characters are the same size, no stroke, no scaling applied. This does not occur in any non-Adobe application. Is there a bug that needs to be fixed?

In our software we have two unamed objects a main menu and a task toolbar (New, Copy). In step descriptions should main menu and Task be capitalized? Example: On the main menu, click .... or On the Main menu, click.... Also, I've read on MS you should  use "select" not "click".  Is that common now?

Hi everyone, I wanted to open a discussion regarding the recent influx of Google Fonts on the Adobe Fonts service. As many of you may have noticed, there has been a significant increase in the number of Google Fonts available on the platform. While I understand the importance of having a diverse range of font options, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed with this trend. My main concern is that Adobe, known for its premium creative tools, could potentially source and license more exclusive or premium fonts for its users. This move would not only enrich the service's offering but also provide added value to our subscriptions. Relying heavily on freely available Google Fonts seems to dilute the premium feel of Adobe's services, which we have come to expect and invest in. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this matter. Do you believe Adobe should focus on acquiring more unique and premium fonts to differentiate its service? Or do you see the integration of Google Font

I have a snippet to put the page number on a document. When I make it, I use the proper new fonts, but when I import it to a document which we reuse regularly, it defaults to a T1 version of the same font. A character style is applied in the original document to create the snippet, but that character style itself is switched to the old font when applied to the new document. How do I stop this behavior?

Cuando estoy trabajando en Illustrator y abro algún archivo que tiene una tipografía nueva, bloquea mi pantalla de Illustrator y solo puedo cerrarlo desde la barra de tareas y pierdo todo el trabajo realizado. Si puedo volver a cerrar el aviso la 2º vez que abro el archivo. Siempre que abro un archivo y contiene una tipografía que no tengo guardada bloquea automáticamente todo. ¿Cómo podría solucionarlo?

I have learned in this community, that OpenType PS, is NOT actually the old postscript file. However, I have fonts that include both OpenType - PS and OpenType - TT. Which is the best format to use, and why do some fonts include both? I prefer to delete the ones I don't use so there is no confusion later on. Thanks.

I ordered "Indesign"  yesterday eveninig and I figured out that there is not available a Monotype Corsiva font.  I am used to work in it, I have a logotype in Monotype Corsiva too ... How can I get it in? I found out that it is possible to buy this font, but ... can I isntall it into Indesign after than? And if it works, how can I do it? I see only Typekit fonts so I am not sure, if I pay for Monotype Corsiva, that I will be able to add this font to others in menu. It is the most useful font after Times Ner Romance for me and I really need it. Thank you for help and sorry for english ... Romana

I have a few colleagues who have downloaded the full Gotham typeface set. But it's split under two different sets in the Adobe (and any other type using software). For example, they can select 'Gotham' in the main set choice, and then in the font options, they can choose 'Thin, Extra Light, Bold, Extra Bold etc', but to choose Gotham Light, they need to go back to the main set options, and choose 'Gotham Light' in itself, and then under that set, you can choose 'Light' again, so it ends up as 'Gotham Light' - 'Light' It's worth noting this exact set works fine on mine and another colleague's laptop. And I can choose Gotham as the main set, and then every single font variability is available in the sub menu. We can't work out, why on earth this is happening on most of my colleagues' laptops, but not ours. Does anyone have any ideas to try please. I've attached a couple of mocked up screenshots to demonstrate what I mean.

Hey, just wondering if I can use the Adobe Fonts library to design a title logo for my video game. I'm not going to use it for any other purpose. The game will be sold on Steam and the logo will be in the .png format. I'm asking this because the Licensing FAQ says that I cannot embed fonts in a desktop application, and I have no idea what that actually means. Thanks!

Hello, I'm talking about degular font. Degular font should support special characters (talking about czech language now) but even though I added the font to a website (wordpress) some special characters (č, ě, ř ...) are not displayed in the degular font.In the settings of the web project, I have ticked that font should support these characters.I have tried importing the font in the header and in the css using Import [link to forum member's page removed by moderator], none of those two works as expected.I tried this:   and this:  I tried both options with and without OpenType Features.Thank you in advance for any help. 

I use webfonts on some webprojects.Sometimes I have to wait two minutes for loading the fonts.Waiting for use.typekit.netHow can I fix this problem?
