The spike in new cases cannot be dismissed as evidence of just more testing, even though some people are doing just that for political reasons. Here in Oklahoma the rate of COVID-19 hospitalizations is increasing. The percentages of positive versus negative tests are up. The Tulsa metro has seen...

They sure stretched the crud out of that.

I'm pretty sure that's a custom logo-style thing. Not a font. OTOH, it would be pretty easy to re-create.

Normally the CASmate SCF fonts are volumes containing many fonts. But CASmate's old font converter tool could take one or more TrueType fonts and convert them into a custom SCF volume. I can't remember if the conversion tool worked on Postscript Type 1 fonts. Back when we first switched from...

Astute Graphics' plug-ins for Adobe Illustrator have been updated for 24.2 compatibility. However, they recommend customers follow a procedure on this page to get the best results. It involves uninstalling the existing plug-ins, doing a reset of settings in Astute Manager and then re-installing...

We're not making masks mandatory...for now. That could change. The daily number of new confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases here in Oklahoma has really jumped over the past week, including a new record high number of new cases reported yesterday. We could end up going back to our previous policy of not...

Just like the subject line says, Saturday, June 20 is the last day to take advantage of the COVID-19 related sale on Affinity graphics applications. Anyone curious about Affinity Designer can buy it for OSX or Windows for $24.99 or $9.99 for iPad. The application regularly costs $49.99 (PC/Mac)...

The powerscripts product is more about automating various kinds of tasks. The plug-ins from Astute Graphics are mostly very different products geared more for the creative front end side of the process.

That's strange. I figured the slew of plug-in updates were for AI 24.2 compatibility. However, at the Astute Graphics web site they're saying the compatibility release of their plug-ins is now targeted for the week starting Monday, June 22.

I wouldn't put it past Corel to do something like that. The company has been owned by private equity companies since 2003. Vector Capital bought it then. They put some effort into loading up Corel with lots of debt by acquiring various other companies like Jasc Software, Roxio, Word Perfect and...

Astute Graphics' plug-ins for Adobe Illustrator are awesome. There are functions in plug-ins like InkScribe and PathScribe that might make anyone wonder why those features weren't incorporated into the core tool sets of Illustrator or other drawing programs before. Some of the plug-ins...

Adobe pushed out a couple additional yet minor updates to Photoshop and Illustrator today (following the bigger update yesterday). Astute Graphics released updates for a bunch of their Illustrator plug-ins today. I assume those are the compatibility updates for AI 24.2, but they haven't...

I haven't seen any updates for InDesign that would change its current max document size of 216 inches. I have a feeling this large canvas capability may end up being something that remains unique to Illustrator and not shared with InDesign. I'm usually not all that bothered by having to send...

Here are some useful links providing more info about the AI 24.2 update and large canvas feature: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/whats-new/2020-2.html https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/large-sized-artwork.html...

Today Adobe rolled out the ".2" update to Illustrator CC 2020. Some improvements were made regarding performance and to the cloud docs feature. But the big thing is they have finally rolled out the new large canvas feature to the public. This allows documents up to a max of 2275" X 2275"...

If we have such a job opening we'll check with the art/graphic design departments at our local university and vo-tech for possible candidates. It could be either as an internship or full/part time gig. It doesn't take artistic talent to be able to run a vinyl cutter or some of the other...

Caxton.

What is the OP trying to sell? It sounds like some kind of middle man service to respond to online customer reviews. If that's the case a sign company's old sales dept or managers should be the ones doing that work, not a third party that isn't related to the sign company at all. Most of our...

The typeface used in the sample image from a vehicle window looks familiar (like something that might have been bundled with Corel or CASmate at one time), but I can't think of it what it is. Thanks in advance.

We say more than "thank you." I'm not going type out what all we might say on the phone or type online.
