I don't understand why anyone would be sending PDFs meant for production with any kind of password security. It's another thing to password block the edit functions in a scale drawing sketch sent to a client, particularly if it's a client that might shop around your sketches to rival shops. But...

That makes it pretty clear that you meant your comment as an insult. Throw in a laugh emoji for good measure. Y'know, you're probably right. I don't belong in this thread. And I probably don't really belong at Signs 101 anymore for that matter.

You don't think the the response "So, your answer is yes" is a little insulting in tone? It came off as if all I needed to do for you is answer yes or no, that anything else I had to say was utterly irrelevant.

Why the flippant response? What are you getting at? I tuned out of this thread for quite some time so maybe I missed something. Are you in the anti-vaccine camp looking for excuses not to get immunized? Or is it something else? BTW, I'm not in a courtroom on a witness stand with some @$$hole...

Unfortunately the jury is still out on that one. That's all the more reason to get as many people immunized as soon as possible. Anyone who is vaccinated will at least have their own personal risk to COVID-19 minimized to a very minor and survivable level. I've already had COVID-19 once last...

No kidding. I lucked out and got my first shot of the Pfizer/Bio-N-Tech vaccine last Friday (March 5) at a local Walgreens. Oklahoma had been stuck in Phase 2 of the vaccine roll-out. Turnout the past couple or so weeks was very slow. And that's even with some of the pop-up vaccine clinics...

Banco (horizontally stretched).

Take a look at the attached diagram. That gives an example of lettering being sized according to the capital letter height in terms of inches, as well as spacing lines of lettering apart in inches. I don't mess around with sizing lettering in terms of points unless I am composing graphics, body...

Actually, the font sizing issues were previously worse in Adobe Illustrator than they were in CorelDRAW. In Corel it's at least possible to create dummy block letters like "E" as artistic text objects, then size and position them as needed. It's a somewhat reliable way to get something like 10...

All digital typefaces are built within an imaginary box called an Em Square, aka "em size" or UPM size. There are numerous horizontal guide lines built into those fonts (baseline, x-height, cap-height, ascender and descender). Then there is often extra space above and below those lines (see the...

Need some help with this one. I swear I've seen it before, but just can't find a match looking through font books and what not. The type has been squeezed, along with other effects added, which makes it worthless for running through the MyFonts What The Font filter. TIA for any help.

Heck, one thing that is very important is for any business to check and see if there is already a Google business page set up for their business already, but being controlled by some unknown person or organization. That kind of cyber-squatting is actually pretty common. The upshot is Google is...

That's a ridiculous analogy on so many fronts. Sign companies don't have any leverage over customers at all, much less the kind of leverage a utility company can wield. There is no scenario where a sign company can suddenly raise its prices by 10,000% without immediately going out of business...

Plain English. Right. Show me where they specifically and clearly warn a variable rate plan can nail a customer with a $5000-$15000 bill for one month or even one week worth of electricity. I strongly doubt it's a bullet point any of those companies want to openly advertise. Because it a...

I guarantee you those re-sellers aren't paying those excessive costs. But they are charging excessive costs on an even more extreme degree than what futures speculators have done with commodities like oil. Do you carefully read line by line the EULA for every piece of computer software you buy...

Some of it might boil down to buyer beware. But It doesn't sound like all the information was plainly there for all to easily see. Where in the verbiage does Griddy warn consumers they could end up paying $6000-$17000 for one week of electrical service (and have their bank account instantly...

Yeah, for anyone reading the thread not familiar with events in this region, the Hotter'N Hell Hundred is the largest single-day 100 mile endurance bicycle race in the United States. It's held in Wichita Falls every year in late August. There are some shorter distance races and more...

I was able to get in touch with the person who created the graphics. The typeface turned out to be something called Maquette Pro. Never heard of it.

The weather gets even more ridiculous here in Oklahoma. Last week, early that Tuesday morning Lawton set a new all time record low temperature of -12°F. The next Tuesday (yesterday) our high was up to 78°F. That's basically a 90 degree temperature swing. The temperature fell below zero here...

I'm stumped on this one. At first I thought it was Franklin Gothic, but the lowercase "a" in the attached sample is different. I swear I've seen this face before. The "What the Font" thing at MyFonts' web site isn't providing anything accurate. This came from a small portion of logo someone...
