Type & Typography

hi guys,as you see in the below image, what should be the Typographic alignment of ltalic? ( the frist letter C & S)

I'm creating a t-shirt and I want to use the typeface Unicode 6.0 UTF-8, or a substitute. I've searched a lot, and it looks like that font is used in programs like Dreamweaver, TextWrangler, etc., but I can't find where to download the actual font, to use in a program like Illustrator or inDesign.This is an example, using OCR-A font, but I really want the Unicode.

I have an extensive collection of fonts (60,0000+). Several hundred of them will crash my system when I open one of them in Finder (double-click the font icon). I picked one at random for some serious examination.I looked at my sample with many font tools. My latest tool was FontDoctor (v5 and v7). FontDoctor reported "no problems found" with my font. Yet the crash persists.Please suggest a tool that can do a thorough job of investigating and repairing my corrupt fonts.Gary(Mac OS 9 & X)

When I download and install the free Kazuraki font I do not get all the cool scripts just this:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzNot this:  書風をベースに、アドビのタイプデザイナー西塚涼子がデザインした書体です。西塚涼子は、藤原定家or any of the other ones...

Open type, true type etc.Is there some possible way how can I do that?Thank you very muchPS: I have just tried exporting vector data from photoshop to ai (path) and try to open it in FontLab Studio and generate from that app font, but unsucessfull How can I do it?

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.http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/doyald-young/young-finesse/light/

Why does my photoshop say everytime I download a font. It opens Photoshop CS5 then it says: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." Please help me. I really need that font.

Hi again,I wanted to post this again to see if anyone can help me out with this.I am trying to print film for a screen printing job that I am doing and so I need all of the white you see in the image below knocked out to the background color (i.e. color of the shirt).The way I have this set up is a layer of text with a black stroke in the back and a layer of text with no fill and a white stroke on top.I have tried over and over again as per my own methods and suggestions from others:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1031339I haven't been able to get this done! It's killing me here...Please take a look at the image and see if you can help me out!If there is another way I can set it up other than the text layerd on top of each other or ANYTHING else you can suggest to help me out it is MUCH appreciated.

A number of years ago, I purchased the original version of CS, which included the semibold and semibold italic versions of Adobe Garamond Pro.  I eventually lost the contents of the computer on which it was installed -- while I was able to recover my data files, all program files (including font files) were lost.  Recently, I purchased a new computer and bought CS6.  I see that those particular fonts are  no longer included.  Since I used them in some of my old documents, that is a bit of a problem.  In light of the fact that I owned a legal copy of the fonts (by virtue of having purchased CS), is there any way to get them other than buying them again?  Thanks.Robert Rothman

Hi,I have spoken to Hardik, Alex and a few more Adobe representatives about this issue and I have had a terrible responses. They disconnected my call while I was on hold. They kept shying away from their responsibility to give me a solution than just telling me that they do not support handheld devices when it is not even an issue with handheld devices.I wish to use Myriad Pro family of fonts for our corporate slides and other related material, but when I use this font on any MS Office program like Powerpoint or Word, save that document as PDF and try to view that PDF file on iPad or iPhone, the font is all distorted and shaded and completely unreadable.The same font works when a document is saved as a PDF via Illustrator or any other Adobe program which proves it is not an issue with iPad or the iPhone but with either Microsoft Office or Adobe's product (Myriad Pro). I will be contacting Microsoft for the same but there is a high possibility that they will blame Adobe for this problem

I am trying to review (clean up) all our fonts to prepare a FontExplorer X server solution – ment for  Mac OSX 10.6 and CS5 at the moment.However I am wondering a couple of things, perhaps someone in here can help explaining.PostScript fonts sometimes shows up as a mess in FontExplorer (screendump).While fx ITC Korinna is nicely in one Suitcase, Kallos ITC is spread in several whithout correspondance in naming.I tried to move all print fonts into one Suitcase and them import, but nothing changed.Is this due to the way they are licensed (perhaps not all at one time)? Is is possible to clean up?Best regards Nina Storm

I got a new computer (Windows XP) and installed Indesign CS2 onto it and then transfered my old Indesign documents to my new computer, but am having trouble with missing fonts when opening my documents. I uninstalled Indesign and reinstalled it thinking this would help as I installed it on another computer and had no trouble with these fonts. Some of the trouble fonts are Edwardian Script, Perpetua, etc. Any suggestions?

I'm posting a message here in the hope that someone in a position to do something about my problem might read it. Nearly 2 weeks ago we purchased Myriad Arabic Semibold. When I download it I get Myriad Arabic Bold. I started a chat session with an Adobe rep and they said I need to call customer service, which I did, and they then opened a support case 0208733923. The response in that was that the font we have is semibold but it's called bold, and they closed the case. I think the reason they think that is that the Adobe store for Myriad Arabic Semibold does indeed say Postscript File Name: MyriadArabic-Bold MAC Menu Name: Myriad Arabic Bold Windows/PC Menu Name: Myriad Arabic Bold + bold style However for Myriad Arabic Bold it saysPostscript File Name:MyriadArabic-SemiboldMAC Menu Name:Myriad Arabic SemiboldWindows/PC Menu Name:Myriad Arabic Semibold  So it seems your system has got Semibold and Bold confused. I double-checked the Myriad Arabic "SemiBold" we downloaded with the My

Hi,What is Adobe's policy for using one of its typefaces (like Arno Pro):a. on a t-shirt or coffee mug or video or a pdf that is not for sale (for personal use or freely distributed to the public)?b. on a t-shirt or coffee mug or video or a pdf that is for sale?If there are additional embedding or "objects for sale" licenses to be purchased, what are those prices?Thanks,Rahim

I'm a home user, not in any way professionally involved in typography (though as it happens, I've long been interested in typography and the arts of the book). Occasionally I find myself preparing posters for various charitable events, and find it useful to make use of a shaded caps font.  My first choice for this was Gill Sans Shadow - appropriate as I live in the city where Gill's hand-painted precursor to Gill Sans first saw the light of day in the '30s - but some time ago I came across a nice Macromedia Fontographer shaded font, ApexShadowsSCapsSSK, on a free fonts site and downloaded that.  Unfortunately the file proved to be corrupted and several characters are not rendered properly; this is a shame, as the font has a very good three-dimensional feel to it.As Macromedia is now part of the Adobe empire, I tried to find our from Adobe how I could obtain a perfect copy of the font, but this has been less than straightforward, not to put too fine a point on it!Does anyone h

I'm a programer not a designer, but I have to create a logo for some web site work I volunteered for. How do I convert a solid font into a vector graphic with a solid outline and a transparent or colored, etc., interior?  I want the background to be able to show through or to have the ability to apply an effect like a metalic surface.  Since it is going on a web site as part of a logo I want to be able to easily change its size and colors without effecting the overall shape.I have Web Premium CS5 to work with.Thanks in advance,Dan

New computer, upgrade from cs2 to cs5.5 Design Premium. Most fonts were found and transfered except the one I really need: (Adobe) Myriad. I simply can't find it, not in the Fonts folder nor anywhere else on my computer. What have I missed? Where is it?

I have a ridiculous amount of fonts on my computer. Most of them I don't use, but I'm afraid the minute I delete them, I will need them. It's quite annoying to scroll through my looong list of fonts. Unfortunately most are free (i.e. not necessarily the mainstream fonts) because I work at a nonprofit and we can't afford to spend money on fonts. What are your favorite fonts? Gold star for free fonts.   Is there an affordable design font package anywhere? I can't use whimsical fonts. They need to be more business-like. What is the purpose of font management software? How does it help you? How does it integrate with your Adobe software?Are there any nice (free or very inexpensive) font management software you would recommend?Please note I am on PC (Window 7) so anything geared toward Macs won't work. Thanks!

How do I create a slim version of a typeface inside an existing one?Terribly worded question I know, the link below will hopefully explain.Thankshttp://www.dafont.com/forum/attach/orig/1/1/119026.gif

HI thereI have downloaded the fonts to the system and I can access them in otherprograms but, for some reason, not PS CS4Roger

Hello, I'm typesetting a document in English, but there is a name referenced that requires a Polish letter (looks like an "l" with a slash through it). I'm using Garamond Premier Pro, which supports the Adobe CE languages, including Polish, but searching has not yet enabled me to figure out how to access Polish glyphs.What do I need to do?Thanks,Tim

Been making a conscious effort lately to not only boost my awareness and understanding of typography in general but become more proficient with creating attractive type treatments, stylizations, etc.I now work in a field where I get to use typograhy a lot, and it's typically the focal point, too.My question - Do you know of any quality showcases/portfolios/archives of nice type treatment examples? Anything that you find inspiring, etc . . .Thanks all.

Hi all, I'm not necesarilly working with graphic design daily. However, I may have to replicate a design for a publication that uses Adobe Garamond Pro, which is why I got interested in Adobe - Fonts : Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition.However, before I shell out the cash, I'd like to ask a few questions about related EULA's and font licensing issues - as the last thing I want to do is buy something, and then end up sued/financially destroyed/imprisoned anyways. (which is why I prefer with open fonts & software - at least no worries about prison, in case of misunderstanding the legalese)So, here are the questions: I am a Linux user, and I primarily intent to use the fonts with xelatex. On the download page, there are two options: "Win" and "Mac". Which one should I choose? Related question: Adobe Forums: Install a Mac font on a PC:Windows can use OpenType, Windows Type1 and Windows TrueType fonts. Windows cannot directly read Mac TrueType or Mac Type1 fonts.   Macintosh can u
