Type & Typography

Well, it’s come to this! I’m re-printing some old J-Cards in which I used custom values for Myriad Multiple Master. For instance:Myriad MM 400 wt 300 wd andMyriad MM 565 wt 600 wd and the like.Does anybody know where I might find a conversion table or any kind of resource to convert those values to the equivalent in the two axis in Myriad Concept Pro?  If not, I can probably just eyeball it, or print it up using a very, very old Mac with Myriad MM installed. Updating would be the best solution though.Thanks in advance,Tom

Hi, My company has a self made software that is a template to make reports.  The templates allows the uploading of photographs and entering of test fields.  The output is a PDF.  Unfortunately, the PDF leaves large amounts of white space because of set page breaks.  Otherwise the images can be cut in half or the text fields split.  In preview inside our software the reports looks fine.  A 7 page report can turn into a 14 page PDF because of the white space. Is there a way the have the PDF resize the photographs to eleimnate the white spaces?  See that attached "Keith BART.pdf.  Thanks, Keith 

As a small branding agency we often create brands that use Adobe fonts as primary and seconday brand typefaces. Im intersted to understand how licenecing works for our clients. For example if we create a brand for a medium size organisation like an Architect firm. They have a Adobe CC licence to run photoshop internally and possbile only one seat and dont have any real need for multi licensing seats. If we suggest an Adobe fiont be use in all their documents across multiple usesers and PC's how do they install and licence this. Ongoping will they always have to have a subscription to Adobe CC? 

I have one font which has blurry edges at large sizes, and when zoomed-in on smaller text sizes.  It's a TTF file, just like all my other fonts but it's the only one with this problem.  Any advice please?   

Each member of our team has a unique Creative Cloud account, and this week we were informed that our organization will be retiring these accounts and replacing them with completely new Creative Cloud profiles under our newly created emails.  As it stands, we have been directed to simply screenshot the list of Active Adobe Fonts from either the Desktop App or from Fonts.Adobe.com. My question is this – while I can screenshot the list and manually track down all of the fonts, is there a simpler way to at the very least get a list of font names I could copy an paste into an excel sheet? A way to export these names directly from Adobe would be stellar. Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks I've uploaded the screenshot of my current list for reference – as you'll see, over 250 font families creates quite the list. 

Hello everyone! I'm collecting datas about some fonts, by entering the commercial full name, its designers, the foundry who made it (using the name it had when it released the font, not the name it had before or after its release , in the case where, as often happens, it had changed), and the release date.For example:Garamond Premier ProAdobe Systems IncorporatedRobert Slimbach2005Now, I have a problem with this font:Berthold Akzidenz-Grotesk BE (I think BE stands for Berthold Exclusive)Günter Gerhard LangeH. Berthold AG????I can not find the date on which the font was released for the first time!The very first time I saw this font was in the Adobe Font Folio 7.0 pack (1995), but looking on the internet I read that Berthold went bankrupt in 1993 and only many years after the rights were taken by Berthold Types Ltd.Here http://www.bertholdtypes.com/font/akzidenz-grotesk/be/, clicking on "Package Info" appear this informations:"The BQ and BE OpenType Basic versions Correspond to the Bert

I thought the font SignPainter would be a good choice to complement this book's subtitle. The irony is that I used SignPainter for the subtitle, not the title. I'd like to use a different font for the subtitle; presumably a sans-serif font. But do I want something robust that really stands out, or something more artistic? Can anyone recommend some fonts that complement SignPainter? The font I chose just doesn't look right to me. Then again, SignPainter might not have been a good choice, either, If you have have any better suggestions, I'd like to hear them. Thanks.

How do I make a heading (e.g. h1) display with the font family Origin Super Condensed in WordPress?To display Georgia, I just wrote "font-family: Georgia;". However, "font-family: Chandler 42" doesn't work. I had to write "font-family: chandler-42-regular"However, none of these work:font-family: Origin Super Condensedfont-family: origin-super-condensedfont-family: origin-super-condensed-regularfont-family: origin-super-condensed-400

This is an enlargement of a but of type used in my client's logo some years ago. They have no idea what it is called, and I'm having no luck matching it. Any ideas on the typeface?

My book cover designs always get a thumbs down, but I decided to give it another try. I'm not sure if this is really a good design, but it looks OK to my eye. The big question mark (for me) is the fonts. I don't have a good eye for choosing the best fonts for conveying ideas or emotions. In this design, I chose the familiar Times New Roman for the title. Can anyone recommend a better font, or suggest a strategy for making the title look more exciting? Or do you think it's OK as it is? Since it's a scientific work, I chose a serif font to make the title look more traditional and authoritative. On the other hand, conspiracy is popularly associated with the weird, mysteries and true crime stories. So I thought of using a font that gives the cover a more mysterious, provocative feeling. If you think the design totally stinks, please let me know, and I'll hire a professional. My designs are usually shot down. 😉

Hi, I have a system font installed with 5 weights which are correctly shown in Microsoft apps like the word but not displayed in Adobe suite apps. The font is called 'Fauna'. The problem is not with the font but with Adobe. Please assist.

I needed a different body text font for a document that had already been created in InDesign. When I changed my paragraph style to Bressay, a font available through Adobe, I noticed that several "s" characters in my document had been changed to "f" as though it was Old English. Even typing an "s" gave me an "f". The doc was previously set in Minion - I'm guessing it was a glyph problem? Any ideas for a fix?

None of my active fonts will load in the CC desktop app. I am able to manage fonts from the web instance of creative cloud but toggling activate/deactivate does not affect the fonts in the desktop apps. InDesign prompts me to activate the font but the progress wheel just spins and does not complete activaton. CC version 5.6.5.58, Mac OS catalina 10.15.7. We have an enterprise account and this is affecting all of our users. Have tried log out/log in, restarting machines, toggled adobe fonts on and off in preferences>services, repairing cc app through uninstall wizard.  logfile AdobeLogs_20220222_090828_323-mac-GS.zxp

How can I transfer my old 3.5"-based font packages to a CD for installation on my current PC? (Windows 7)

Effective July 2022, Adobe Edge Fonts will be discontinued. Please switch to Adobe Fonts or other replacement.  

Hi,I have an issue with fonts from Typekit and sync via Creative Cloud. Creative Cloud app on my Mac (OS X 10.10.5 and CC with the latest release 2.3.0.151) won't load synced fonts on Fonts tab, where is only loader. Adobe applications say that Typekit is off. That's weird, because everything worked fine. On the Preferences pane I'm not able to turn off Typekit (radio buttons are disabled). Any ideas to solve this problem? I tried restart my Mac, relaunch Creative Cloud, log out and log in to the Creative Cloud, change DNS to Google Public DNS etc. and nothing works. It's really frustrating.Thank you.Martin

Having an issue where the medium weight of Nudista's font family will not display on the page or in the font list (see screen cap). We have deactivated and reactivated several times, nothing seems to fix it. 

Hi,I am not able to solve my current typekit issue. I normally have access to fonts that I work with and show in Quark. The fonts would at least show in the font book. They are selected in typekit but do not seem to be syncing. I'm hoping this is just some simple fix but I haven't located it yet. I used to be able to make this work. Thank you for any suggestions.

I created a flyer in Adobe Photoshop 2020 CC and used the font "Gabriola." I also used it in Illustrator 2020 CC for a logo design (shown so you can see the font). However, when I try to access the files on my other computer (both computers use the same Creative Cloud account), neither Illustrator nor InDesign recognizes the font. In fact, both programs want to change it to something else. How do I get this font on all of my Adobe products on both computers?  

Using Universal Type Client and searching with it to find Type 1 fonts in our library. However, it doesn't list Type 1 specifically. Can you tell me if any of the search options = Type 1.Not sure if Open Type PS and PostScript = Type 1 or not and it doesn't show in the font info.

What is the name of the font on this image attached? I think it is a Adobe font.

Hi! I have a MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip and MacOs 12.1. My creative cloud app is version 5.6.0.789.I have tried multiple ways to use fonts from "Adobe Fonts", activating them online and in app. I've also tried to open the creative cloud desktop app and go to fonts. When doing so progress wheel keeps spinning without displaying anything. I've done everything recommended by Adobe without success. I can't use any of the fonts I like when I use any of the Adobe programs, which is incredibly frustrating.  Have any of you exeperienced the same? What can I do?
