I don't know if there are any Freehand users on this forum, particularly any with knowledge of a peculiar problem I am having to troubleshoot. Not many people use Freehand, but I still like firing it up to do some nice color printing work since it has a fantastic print engine. I loaded Freehand...

Okay, I think I've figured out the ID. Thanks to anyone who has been working on the problem. Anyway, the font appears to be Bernhard Tango. However, it is not the normal and somewhat elegant light weight. The "T" has been stroked a tad and the remaining lowercase letters have been artifically...

This is an odd script I can't quite place. It looks familiar but the identification of it escapes me. The "What The Font" utility at My Fonts.com came up empty. I have a hunch "Trinity" is actually made up using two different typefaces.

What application are you using to install or manage fonts? Also, what operating system are you using?

Only one person in this thread or in a discussion elsewhere? I constantly backup and mirror the art files on my work computer at home and do full backups of everything at least once per quarter. That's specifically over the disaster at shop potential (fire, robbery, etc.). An additional tip...

GT Roman Round Face appears to be the closest match in the formed plastic series. In the flat cut fonts series GT Roman also appears to be very close. Unfortunately, these fonts don't seem to appear in the sign design applet. But the True Type fonts are available in the Sign Professionals Area...

I was referring only to the products offered by Maxtor. I probably should have clarified that. The Buffalo setup looks interesting. But it is far from being the largest capacity external storage offering on the market. It just seems to be the largest shown in most computer store catalogs...

What brand of external hard drive is it? Normally, any USB 2.0 or 1394/Firewire connected external drive should work as a straight external drive without need of installing any extra software. Maxtor's One Touch series of external hard drives come with their own specialized backup software, but...

Do you have a sample to show?

The CorelDRAW 12 CDs aren't labeled correctly. The Disc 1 disc contains only a handful of fonts. Disc 2 contains a few others. Most of the Corel fonts are on Disc 3 -including two weights of Freehand 575.

I use three scanners. At the office, we have a fairly inexpensive UMAX Astra 2200. It works fine for scanning in line art and stuff like that. At home, I use two units. My newer desktop has an Epson Perfection 2450 Photo attached via Firewire. My old SCSI-based Dual PII 400MHz museum piece PC...

I back up art files to CD-R on a periodic basis. I also make redundant backups (more than one copy). The 2nd copy gets stored elsewhere off the premises. What good is a lot of backed up CDs or DVDs if they're in your shop and the place goes up in a blaze or gets robbed? I also keep an actively...

Normally, CorelDRAW 9 works great much of the time. However, there are some bugs -particularly with the standard off-the-CD 9.337 build. One of the most noticeable bugs involves the snap to objects function. When that is enabled and you try to move text the system nearly hangs. The SP1 and SP1...

I'm currently working through a couple designs so it may be at least another couple hours before I try installing CorelDRAW 12 on this new Dell 9100 PC I hooked together yesterday. Anyway, I wanted to ask any CorelDRAW 12 users out there if the upgrade has an activation scheme similar to that...

Trouble is most new machines come with SP2 pre-loaded. I don't think SP2 is really the problem with this CDR9 installation. It just doesn't seem to like multiple monitors very well at all. The trick of holding F8 when launching Corel (to restore the default workspace) seemed to do the trick on...

I've been rummaging through the knowledge base at the Corel website and not been making much progress, so I figured I would also ask here. I just set up a new Dell Dimension 9100 PC running WindowsXP Pro SP2. CorelDRAW 9 has problems running under the thing. On occaision when I hit the...

Visit Leslie Cabarga's websites: www.lesliecabarga.com. or www.flashfonts.com. The fellow is one of my favorite type designers. And he totally rocks at making retro looking fonts. His Raceway, Neon Stream, Magneto and Rocket typefaces are awesome. Leslie Cabarga has a number of books on type...

I don't really agree with that policy. If a customer sends me a file that I can take directly to the vinyl cutter, I'm not going to ding him with a file handling charge. I'm going to reward him for making my job easier. However, a rate of $65 (or whatever is required) is fair for files you have...

Adobe Bridge (included with Creative Suite 2, and I think most standalone CS2 applications) is probably the best graphics file management tool I've used to date. The program will show previews of EPS, AI, PDF and CDR files (Corel files up to version 10). You can also include all sorts of...

This also brings up the subject of educating customers about properly preparing vector-based art files. With certain effects in more recent versions of Illustrator in use the file will not import into most other applications. As Derf said, appearances of all effects including all line strokes...
