Type & Typography

I'm trying to get hold of a font that is similar to the Linotype Helvetica World font. I need a font that has very similar characteristics of the Helvetica World font, as well as all the special characters. Does Adobe make, or have access to a font like this?

My client gave me a bunch  of vector graphics that a different agency gave them for a font that  they use for money amounts in their new branding. They gave me vector  graphics 0-9, a "$", a "." and a ",".I've already tried to find out what the actual font is but I've had  no success. My next option is to convert the vectors into a new font.So now I need to find a program to do the conversion. What programs work best based on your experience.Thx in advance for your suggestions.Zak.

I'm trying to identify this font and, so far, I'm stumped to what it may be.If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.TIA,DaleP.S. If it ends up being a very simple or common font, I apologize in advance for a newbie question.

Hello,Which are the fonts that CS4/5 installs that are required for those apps to run happily and where are they located?Thanks

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.

Presently using Adobe Font Folio 11. What font is closest to the Janson font? Thx qmpc

In my application I receive UTF-8 encoded text strings.  The text includes Western European, Eastern European, Cyrillic, and Greek characters.  CJK support is not needed.  I then need to display it using a Type 1 font that contains all of the needed glyphs (580+ glyphs).I would like to be able to use the show, stringwidth, ... operators with the UTF-8 encoded text.Is there a way to build a UTF-8 compatible font using a Type 1 font as its base font.  composefont? Other method?I would greatly appreciate it you would point me to some concrete examples of how to do this.  I am pretty new to UTF-8 and CIDFont/CMap/composefont stuff.Thanks for your help,  Lee

I was offered the new Hypatia Sans Pro font as free gift with a recent CS4/5 suite upgrade. The font set does not include the six italic fonts, which are now available separately for $55. On checking the package readme file I see that the font set is now at version 2.016 (circa 2010/01/12), but the font set I was offered for free download is version 1.009 (2008/02/25. My question is 1) should I have been offered the available 2.016 version font set (with or without Italic fonts)? I was ready to purchase the Italic set for $55, but concerned there may be visible differences between the v1.009 Roman font set I have now and the newer 2.016 Italic set.Any suggestions or ideas? I feel Adobe owes me at least a complete v2.016 font set for my $55, given it was available at the time of the “free gift” offer.Revision History - Post v1.009For all fonts of family Hypatia Sans Pro: version 2.016 created on Tue Jan 12 15:33:34 2010.version 2.016 created 2010/01/12Fixed f-ligature cross bars in all

Does anyone know what font this is?  None of the What Font is This kind of sites could pick it up. Thanks so much!

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.jpgThanks in advance for you help.Zak

Assuming the Font supports them and the right character pair is typed in? Such as FF, FT.I'm using Garamond Pro family, but there are others in which I'd like to form ligatures.(in other words, does this require keyboard input?)

If I have a paragraph of type, ranged left (example below) set out with no widows/orphans etc but I have a word starting on its own, what is the correct way to solve this? Start a new paragraph or leave it on its own? Sometime when i do this I get a lot of space that looks wrong.example:...for example researcher, recorder. Theybuild the table...Hope this makes sense.thanks in advance

Being self taught in InDesign (CS 5.5 now)- I may be missing something basic here- but pride went out the window at the 30 minutes wasted mark...In the feature card pictured, I need the item description to kick down to the next line at the 3" mark, while the prices all right align as shown at about the 3.4" mark.  Because the descriptions change frequently, I'd rather not make the adjustments manually to each item.  I work with a lot of different (printed) restaurant menus, and this problem has became a recurring theme.  Any help would be apprectiated.

Hello,I have a few questions concerning the EULA of Adobe fonts and fonts in general.Is it allowed to use Adobe fonts in the font-family property in CSS? As it depends on the user's installed font types, there would not be any distribution or copying of font files.Is it necessary to buy a license from Adobe to use the fonts in this way? Is it also possible to use them on commercial websites and in commercial web applications/products?Thank you in advance for your help.

when i export the text after creating the effect i was looking for and insert it into dreamweaver it has a box around the text and covers up part of t he background how do i import the text image and not cover up any of the back ground.

Hi, I am working on a new document and considering some options for the fonts. The document is a guideline to legislation, so I want the look and feel to contrast the actual legislative text. The guidelines are there to support reader, help to guide them through the legal requirements in a clear and concise manner. I want to make sure that the document is approachable and easy to read. It is unlikely that a reader will read from cover to cover. They are more likely to dip in and read certain sections. In previous guidelines we have used Myriad Pro or Verdana for body text and Hypatia Sans for heads. However on this occasion I am considering a serif font for the body, like Warnock or Garamond. While these fonts help make the document more readable, I am concerned that this may make the guideline appear more serious and less approachable. So, sans serif OR serif for this type of document. I would be grateful for suggestions. Thanks,Niall

Perhaps someone here can verify (or not) a problem we're seeing with an Adobe font. The font is ITC Franklin Gothic Std Book. This is from the Adobe Font Folio 9, so the version number is 1.047;PS 001.003;Core 1.0.38;makeotf.lib1.6.5960In InDesign and Illustrator CS3, when we type a Registered Sign followed by a Right Double Quotation Mark, the spacing between the two is several times wider than between the Left Double Quotation Mark followed by a Registered Sign. (Photoshop CS3 doesn't show this problem, but it has a different type engine than the others.)The two characters are:Name: REGISTERED SIGNGID: 161Unicode: 00AEName: RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARKGID: 117Unicode: 201DWe're also seeing the same odd spacing in the Demi weight of the typeface.

I inadvertently installed the Arial MT fonts - Regular, Bold, Italic etc recently.  However, all my Flash files started replacing the standard Arial font in the text fields with Arial MT; and every time I tried to change them back to standard it always switches immediately back to Arial MT.I thought that removing these fonts from my Windows/Fonts folder would fix this issue, but no!  I can see that the Arial MT font files are all gone from the Windows/Fonts folder (I even used the AMP Font Viewer to double-check) - but unfortunately, when I went back to my fla files the Arial MT is still there and it still won't let me go back to standard.This is driving me potty, as those MT fonts are pretty horrible.  It's almost like a virus!!  (Yes, I have checked for viruses, btw) Any ideas anyone?  Would be very grateful!  My OS is Windows Vista and I'm running CS5.

Have installed Office 2010 but I'm having crashes in Outlook. Event viewer implicates "usp10.dll" which I now know is Windows' Uniscribe API component for rendering complex fonts and Unicode-encoded text.From research it appears that a similar crash is affecting other Office 2010 apps (or at least Word and Outlook) and on both XP and Win7.Apparently a partial workaround is to uninstall old Adobe Type1 versions of fonts. In my case uninstalling Helvetica has fixed the crash for now, although I suspect it may reappear if other old Type1 fonts are referenced in e-mails (Times, Palatino, etc) or documents. Workaround is unsat if one needs to use old files containing those fonts.Another workaround is to leave the fonts installed but to use the problematic Type1 fonts immediately upon opening Outlook or Word, being sure that the message is previewed so that the font(s) are rendered. Apparently that will avoid the crash until the next time the system is rebooted. This can be automated with a

I would like to use Myriad Pro on a website via @11220649-face. I would like clarification on what my Myriad Pro license allows me to do.Can I use a service like FontSquirrel to create the necessary .ttf and .eot files required to get the font to display in Internet Explorer?OR am I forced to get a subscription with one of the Adobe Web Font partners WebInk and TypeKit?

Hi,I am curious to know if and when it is necessary to expand text?  Does text need to be expanded before saving the file in PDF format?Thanks!

Hi,I am new to AI CS5 and was wondering if someone could please tell me how to use the Perspective tool with text?  Also, does the text have to be expanded in order to use the perspective tool or is that not recommended?  Thank you,Diane

I had been under the impression that most modern Adobe OpenType fonts had support for glyphs like α (U+03B1, GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA)  and ā (U+0101, LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH MACRON), and that the few cases I had found were mostly outliers. Today I became aware that I was mostly wrong, and would appreciate it if someone could explain what the situation really is; I was surprised to learn how wrong I was.Most of my thinking is in the context of machines running Mac OS X with Font Folio 11 installed/available, if that's pertinent.Miguel clarified a while ago that the macron characters were "only supported in font families with the suffix Pro, such as Minion Pro." I had missed it when he said it, or I guess internalized it wrongly. So I guess that means the macron characters are mostly available in the 24 Pro faces: Adobe Caslon Pro, Adobe Garamond Pro, Adobe Jenson Pro, Arno Pro, Bickham Script Pro, Brioso Pro, Caflisch Script Pro, Calcite Pro, Chaparral Pro, Cronos Pro, Ex Ponto
