It looks like a bad knock-off of Desire Pro.

What kind of content is in this CorelDRAW layout? Does it have a bunch of embedded photographs or any other pixel-based stuff? Or is all the content vector-based? Either way PDF will be a better choice than JPEG. Any vector-based objects (such as type elements) can be maintained as vector-based...

Yep. I'm pretty well convinced this person is a troll. I'm out.

My shop had a Signmaker 4B when I first started there. It had about a dozen or so different plug-in font modules. We had it hooked up where it could run passively, driven by a MS-DOS version of CASmate. Those were some quaint times back then. Arial is actually an ugly-looking hodge-podge of...

There is far more motivation for residents of a town to enter data from old analog records into digital form than get a bunch of random people to agree to build a fonts database. This is basically a very apples to oranges comparison. Throwing up other examples (FedEX history, Lotto operations...

What you're asking for is not realistic at all. The "What The Font" tool at MyFonts' web site already does the things you describe. I think there are other tools online that serve a similar purpose. I'm skeptical a crowd-sourced rival to MyFonts' What The Font tool is going to be any better...

It looks like someone grabbed Impact or Haettenschweiler and horizontally stretched the living hell out of it.

Letraset Revue is the original version of that typeface.

I'm having trouble trying to figure out the ID of this script typeface. It looks familiar, but I can't find any matches in Google Fonts among other places. TIA for any help. Edit: Never mind, I figured it out: Gistesy.

Aside from the issues in Corel Font Manager, I'm not seeing much in the way of slow-ness issues in CorelDRAW. Then again, I don't have a giant amount of fonts and an associated giant sized database for Corel Font Manager to load either. FWIW, I am running CDR 2022 on notebook and desktop PCs...

Corel Font Manager has all kinds of performance problems. So pointing Corel Font Manager to a font collection folder across a network connection to something like a NAS device is a very bad idea. The collection folder CFM "sees" needs to be on a local hard disc drive. I have a "active fonts...

Generally, I don't like doing projects for individuals that are for their own personal use. Working with businesses is easier and more profitable. Individuals wanting personal projects done very often don't value the time and effort it takes to produce the work. They may want to see lots of...

I'm not sure what the solution would be on the Mac side. If you could come across some old Mac-based installer discs you'll likely have to install FH in an old version of OSX running on a vintage Mac that still works. On the Windows side Freehand 7 probably wouldn't run on anything later than...

My guess is Don Henley. It kind of fits the narrative of some of his music (of which there is a lot that I like). That sounds like a business opportunity. Given what various materials like steel and aluminum are costing these days, there is a premium to be paid on scrap metal. If I was in that...

I'll usually make things like wall wraps or window wraps at the target full size in Photoshop. Then, via Adobe Illustrator, I'll paste any sets of AICB vector paths I need into the Paths Palette within Photoshop. That can include panel boundaries with the desired amount of overlap. If I need to...

As long as Corel is willing to sell that not-upgradeable $549 version I'll consider buying that versus paying $269 per year for a program with very little, if any, improvements offered at all. This 2022 "upgrade" of CorelDRAW is the most under-whelming I've seen in the 30-plus years I've been...

I intend to "sunset" my own personal perpetual license of CorelDRAW. At my workplace we have 3 current licenses of CorelDRAW, 2 on "upgrade protection," and 1 on subscription. We have a 4th license of CDR 2021 that I bought not upgrade-able for another workstation a few months ago. I'm...

Adobe published specifications of PDF 1.7 on their website. They're still patented, proprietary features. The PDF 2.0 spec (ISO-32000-2) does not include the proprietary things Adobe put into the 1.7 spec. Adding the issue, there are certain new graphics technologies PDF does not yet support...

The core part of PDF was indeed made open source in 2008, even published by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO 32000. Adobe's own flavor of PDF, such as PDF version 1.7, contains proprietary technologies from Adobe. They're not part of the ISO specification and not well...

The SVG format needs a LOT of very serious, major improvements before it could be used as any sort of "universal" vector graphics archive format. I've followed developments of the SVG format for over 20 years. In the early 2000's I was excited about it for what it might do to improve web...
