Type & Typography

Hi,With rise of Indian economy along with China, the Government of India has approved a symbol used to denote the Indian currency 'Rupee'.Question is how to implement it as a font.In General how to create a font. Some say its possible in Adobe Illustrator, howThanks

Can anyone tell me the individual fonts used in the logo? I created this logo for a friend some time back and he needs another version of the same. Since I am an idiot so I lost the PSD and now I have to create it again. Any help will be appreciated.

I haven't been able to find any clear answer to the question of whether Adobe fonts are allowed to be embedded on the web using @11220649-face techniques. http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/info/embedding.html is little vague and doesn't really speak directly to using a font on a webpage. I'm aware of other methods like sIFR and Cufón but those aren't as desirable as using a tool like Font Squirrel's @font-face Generator to create the necessary files. With those files one can simply use CSS for everything rather than having to deal with additional flash and/or javascript to configure and control everything.Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hello friends. I'm looking to make a Microsoft XNA game, and would like to know Adobe's policy on embedded fonts. Basically, you put the fonts into an image file, usually a .BMP file. Microsoft Visual Studio and XNA will basically take that .BMP file, and convert it to a proprietary file format, .xnb. Does this require any special license?

I just opened a file I probably last worked on in ID CS 3. It uses a little-used common domain (maybe?) font called Classic Typewriter.The file opens and displays fine in CS 3; but, the Regular weight is missing in CS 5. ClassicTypewriter is displayed as the font name, but Regular is surrounded by brackets in the style; i.e., [Regular] . I believe that means ID cannot find the font.What gives? Why is it okay in CS 3 but not CS 5?Just checked, same is true for AI, as well. I further checked the font with Apple's Font Book Validation. There is a message about an error with "name" usability. So, I guess my only question now is why Adobe changed things so that a font that worked in CS3 no longer works in CS5 whether or not the font is totally okay. (The font also seems to work fine in TextEdit.)

Just going through and cleaning up the Font Library at my new workplace. All our work stations are Macs using OSX and Suitcase to manage our fonts. Is there any reason these days to save the .AFM files associated with our Macintosh Type 1 fonts?

Hi all, I need some clear clarification from Adobe or someone in the know on whether I can legally embed a font like VAG Rounded which has a 'Print & Preview' license using a technique such as Cufon (similar to sIFR)? The Cufon website (http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/) suggests that all Adobe fonts are 'Known to be safe' but I'd like to be sure to be sure!

My company is interested in using a single font for documents created through automation. Typically, automation will create an original document that will then be reviewed and edited by multiple users. So ultimately we'll need to install the font on something like 200 end user's computers in order for them to see the document with the corect font (Word format).What kind of volume licensing would we need for this purpose? I don't seem to see individual font licensing for anything over a few seat licenses. I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks in advance.

Hi -I'm trying to copy and paste text from a PDF so I can edit and analyze the contents.  The file was created in Hebrew. It is set of Israel's election results and available on their government website: http://www.moin.gov.il/Apps/PubWebSite/mainmenu.nsf/4DF815EA4AC4E503C2256BA6002EE732/8E408A044EE1D3EDC2257520002817B8/$FILE/News.pdf.Under document properties, the fonts listed are Helvetica (standard) and two unknown, embedded subsets (TTE1C42600t00 and TTE1DA2290t00).I have tried:- Copy and pasting text from Reader 9 --> opening in Word and Excel, changing around fonts- Copy and pasting text from Acrobat 8 Professional --> opening in Word and Excel, changing around fonts- Right-click, open table as spreadsheet- Exporting as .doc, .TIFF, PostScript, .txt, .html- Export as image, running OCR (trialware Hebrew OCR program I used did not pick up all characters correctly)- Adobe website mentions an Adobe Reader Middle Eastern Edition 7, but when I go to download it, it takes me

Can I use the fonts supplied with Photoshop to design a book cover for publication. This is a commercial use, is this OK.

I have been using Nofret for all of my business correspondence for years. All of a sudden within the last couple of weeks, one style, the Light Italic, refuses to show up in any of my Adobe programs. It is available in my Microsoft and Apple programsI've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the font in FontExplorer Pro, rebooting the applications...no go.I am using CS2 on a G4 PowerPC.Any clues as to why this single style would disappear when all of the other styles of that font are available? Can I get it back?

My attempts to search out the old thread in which a Garamond Premier Pro bug was discussed were unsuccessful.  Unfortunately, I don't remember whether a possible fix was contemplated or not.The tittles over the i and the j are disimilarly shaped and at different heights.This is particularly bothersome when setting Dutch text, where the combination of ij is not only extremely common but is even considered a separate letter of the alphabet on its own right.  It's a fantastic font, and it really bothers me not to be able to use it in multilingual documents that include Dutch.

I just went to the Adobe MAX website, max.adobe.com, and saw a headline with an interesting sans serif font:Adobe MAX 2010October 23-27, Los Angeles, CA.I just checked the page source and that line is coded like this:<h1 id="header">Adobe MAX 2010<br>October 23-27, Los Angeles, CA</h1>I then followed the css file to find this:h1#header {  font-family: Arial;  color: #242424;  font-size: 21pt;  padding: 0 0 0 0;  margin-top: 0px;  margin-bottom: 12px;}Am I reading this correctly? I know the font on that page is not Arial.How did they get that non-arial sans serif font to look the way it does?Thanks!

So a while ago...like 2 years ago.  Adobe gave me Hypatia Sans Pro for free.anyone know what the licensing with this font is?  I cannot find any information online as to what degree I can use the font commercially.ie.  I want to publish a book with the font as the main font.  since it is super awesome anyone know?

Hi,Interested to know if the license for Adobe font Cooper Black extends to web embedding such as Sifr, Cufon and Font Squirrel etc?CheersGraham

India has introduced a new symbol for the rupee. When can we see it incorporated in Adobe fonts? I use Minion Web Pro and Myriad Web Pro for my work. Or can I create my own, give it a unicode symbol / keyboard shortcut and add it to the Minion and Myriad fonts on my computer?The new rupee symbol can be viewed here.http://news.techworld.com/sme/3232184/india-chooses-new-rupee-symbol/?olo=rss(Incidentally, it is a mix of the roman "R" and Hindi "ra".)

The name of my business is iTutor Computers which displays a look and feel of the corporate world. The problem I'm having is as follows the front of the business card uses the font Garamond and Quicksand. Which I think plays very well together, but the back of the card which will have "Spot UV" applied to the font of Quicksand I have been just informed that the font is to thin. So do you have any suggestions for a font that I can use on the back of the card which will need to play well with Garamond & Quicksand? From my understanding of fonts I should use a rounded,sans-serif but I'm not sure.   I have included a picture of the back of the card

I have Photoshop CS5 and Vista, If I buy the Adobe Bickham Script will I be able to use it in the CS5?  Where do I install it?  In the Control Panel Fonts?I am new at this, so I don't want to buy it and find out I can't use it.

Can the Glyphs be use in CS5 or is the Bickham limited in CS5?

Hello all, I've recently come across a problem using After Effects... My font is slightly blurry when zoomed in on, almost like it's blending when it shouldn't be (I don't know terminology, sorry lol). I just got After Effects yesterday and this problem was not occuring. This is what I want my font to look like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX7N58df0j0This is what it looks like: http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/TheLighterDark/Untitled-9.pngMy resolution is on Full and I haven't changed any settings, it was like this when I opened it up this morning! Help!

I likewise was given a free download of the Hypatia font set when I purchased Premier Pro and AfterEffects. When I was using PhotoShop today, I noticed they had disappeared from the font list and when I referenced the support site the suggestion was to delete and re-install from the original file. When I tried to re-install, Windows says all the files are damaged and this is the original zip file. I am not sure what to do at this point.

Folks -I'm more of a photoshopper than illustrator, but I'm hoping that someone can help me identify a font.  Or how to pull off an affect.Any idea how to pull off this "Farmall" look?Thanks.

Hello,We purchased the Agena type 1 font set several years ago and I have been using it for artwork.  I also use Swiss 721 type 1 fonts that came with my copy of Corel Draw 10.  Recently I began having font swapping issues in Corel Draw even though the fonts are loaded (Win XP Pro).  I tried reloading the fonts and received an invalid or damaged font message.  These same fonts work fine on other machines.  Does anyone have an idea on what could have caused this problem?  I also tried reloading the Swiss 721 fonts from my Corel Draw CD with the same message.  It seems the problem is with my computer, but I'm not sure what could be causing this.  I'm not an expert in this so hopefully I have overlooked something.P.S. the fonts are working on the other computer with Corel DrawThanks,Kyle
