  2. $15.00 sf ??

    from experience... Please start higher than you think you can, then add some! It is so much easier to go down than up later!

  4. Font Installation - where do I put them?

    Where do I drag the fonts into flexi (both OpenFace and TrueType)? I have had to reinstall flexi - In the past I would drag them into Windows and re-start Flexi and it would pick them up. Now it only picks up the TrueType. Can't I just drag them into Flexi? I navigate to >C >Flexi and I see...

    well I looked it up on wtf (what the font) and couldn't find. It had Diamanti Condensed EF Black Italic as one suggestion - Ya think someone just went in there and put a triangle shape on the top left corner wherever possible?
  11. Have At It...

    what they said... Im really not sure from this - exactly what the name of the business is. Totally agree though with introducing a second typestyle. My ultimate goal is to keep the reader looking at it - to make the eye go around and around - always coming back.... All italic type makes you...

  18. What is causing this?

    static - dryer sheets I know this is very old post, but a printer tech once told me to tape dryer sheets, hanging down at the back where the media feeds into the machine - media is lightly "swept" as it moves in, by the dryer sheets. I've not had the problem ever - never hope to by the...
