Mac font via fontographer to pc font
I have Fontographer 4.04 and I run it in Classic on Mac OSX 10.3.3. I have a Mac Postscript font and I have to add an euro character which does not exist in the font. I check out on which decimal character the euro is placed in my other font, and find that decimal 219 is where to place it. I generate at first a new Mac font and it works nice. Then I generate a pc TrueType font and mail the font to the person who needs it. She tells me that the euro exists allright - but on a wrong decimal. She tells me that she needs it to be placed on decimal 128. This however is occupied by (A-umlaut) whe...

Font Book refuses to put certain fonts into a collection
Any attempt to include certain fonts which appear in the "All Fonts" list in Font Book in a font collection fails to work. The fonts are added to the collection by dragging and dropping, either a single font at a time or a group of fonts. When a group is so dragged most of the fonts then appear in the collection but occasionally some do not. This is happening with about one in forty fonts. All of the fonts involved have been "certified" by FontAgent Pro as being free of any problems. I'm running OS X 10.3.7 Build 7S215 Font Book 1.0.2 (v36.1) ...

Disabling fonts in Panther's Font Book

Font Book vs. "Those Professional Font Managers"
Here's an example of something that is trivial to do in Apple's Font Book and I'm curious as to how easily the same thing is accomplished in one of the "professional" font managers such as Font Explorer or Suitcase Fusion. When Adobe's Creative Suite 2 is installed a folder is created in Library/Application Support/Fonts that contains some 180 .otf files each of which contains a single face within a font family. Thus a given font family can be represented by one or more .otf files. What is helpful (at least to me) is to place all of the .otf files for a given ...

Display font choices each in own font
Has anyone tried to code this? I have learned how to display a list of fonts available from http://www.lebans.com/enumfonts.htm. (thanks, Steve).

I think there must be a way to automate this from Word but there also may be a simpler way so I will give way to someone who knows more than me. In the meantime you might Google "automate Microsoft Word font" or something like that. You might even try sticking in "palette" as an optional search term. Who knows what might turn up?

Large fonts
I have a Thinkpad A22p running WinXP, which has a resolution of 1600 x 1200 on the native LCD. Normal fonts are too hard (for me) to read at that resolution, so I use large fonts (120 dpi). But that's on the native LCD. The rest of the time, I have it docked and attached to a 19" monitor running at 1280 x 1024, and at that resolution I prefer normal fonts. It's somewhat of a pain every time I switch configurations to have to change the DPI settings and reboot. Is there a way to tell WinXP to "Use Large Fonts when you're on the native LCD, Normal Fonts when you're on the external display!"? -- da ~~ "OE Quotefix" http://flash.to/oe-quotefix to fix Outlook Express' broken quoting.

What are nil2 fonts and cursor fonts
Hi, When I run Xterm I get a message saying that it cannot convert nil2 fonts to fontstructure. What are nil2 fonts ?. I see it in Xterm.ad. Also another related question is what is cursor fonts ?. Thanks for your help. Regards Kanchan ["Followup-To:" header set to comp.os.linux.x.] On 18 Jun 2005 18:35:14 -0700, v_kanchan@yahoo.com staggered into the Black Sun and said: > When I run Xterm I get a message saying that it cannot convert nil2 > fonts to fontstructure. What are nil2 fonts ?. I see it in Xterm.ad. In "man xterm" , the Resources section: iconFont (class IconFont) Specifies the font for the miniature active icon window, if this feature is compiled into xterm. The default is "nil2". ....so I'd guess that nil2 is a set of icons that are arranged into a font file. This isn't really something that's insanely important. > Also another related question: what [are] cursor fonts? IIRC, these are fonts where each character is mapped to a pixmap that can be used as a cursor. 'A' = pointer, 'B' = hourglass, 'C' = resize left-right, 'D' = resize top-bottom, etcetera.

Making a font from another font
Hi, I would like to create some virtual font from a Type 1 font that should behave exactly as the original one except for one thing: the characters should be print according to a -1 1 scale. Warning: [-1 0 0 1 0 0] makefont does not what I want, since it reverses the printing direction. For instance: (ABCDE) show should print ABCDE in this very same order but each letter should be horizontally mirrored. How can I do that?

How can I do that? Are you familiar with the family of books Adobe puts out about PS? I'm talking the 'green book' the 'red boot' the 'blue book'.

What program can you organize Windows fonts by styles instead of in alphabeticorder when accessing font from a program such as Photoshop or Illustrator?
