Wait, what? Your customer was only provided with a low-res version of something they paid for? I know there's some real schmucks out there in the design world, but the artwork you were provided with sounds suspiciously like a proof to me.

After a moment's consideration, do you (OP) happen to be testing fonts in a really old version of Microsoft Word? If that's the case, you might be looking at vanilla Calibri with MS's old font settings that didn't actually change the font when you hit the "bold" and "italic" buttons. The way...

I promise you that's Calibri Bold Italic.

That's Calibri Bold Italic.

I think you forgot to include the example.

Trajan with a stroke.

Check Blambot.com for the second line. If it's not one of his fonts, he'll have something pretty close.

Sure that's not just a crease in the foil?

Friz Quadrata Bold.

Antique Olive Nord.

We run both a Mimaki JV33 (solvent) and a Roland LEJ-640 (UV), which is not the hardware you're talking about but hear me out. The white on the Mimaki sucks. I've yet to come up with an amount of ink that you can put down that isn't both highly translucent and slightly blue. The metallic...

I assume you're looking for sympathy here as opposed to professional verification from multiple, independent sources that what your customer produced is, in fact, a train-wreck? Consider yourself sympathized. There there.

+1 Univers 55 or 65, most likely.

Interesting story about L.A. Noire. They didn't do the same kind of crazy recordkeeping back then, so no one at Rockstar really knew how Los Angeles was laid out in 1947. They managed to dig up some aerial photographs that some crazy SOB in a barnstormer took of the city. That doesn't sound too...

Not sure about a Summa, but for a whole lot of other devices with optical sensors, if you put a piece of Scotch tape over each of your registration marks, the eye can pick them up. Oftentimes it's the shinyness of a material that'll throw the sensor.

That's an Illustrator effect. What you need to do after you run the warp filter is go to Object->Expand Appearance. That'll make it permanent.

An Embellishment. Try looking for dingbat fonts with the keywords "ornament," "embellishment, " "flourish," etc. I personally recommend Adobe Wood Type Ornaments, which you might even have already.

Wow. Bob gets around...

Nah, not really, and why do you care? Look dude, when you're running chop-shop design (like most of us are, admit it or not) you will encounter a segment of the population that just cannot be reached. There is no amount of design and production you can show them that they will appreciate...

Not so far as I know. Any plotter I've ever been around requires vector input. In Illustrator, there's a tool called "Live Trace" that generates vector outlines from raster images, having never used Flexi I'm not sure if there's anything in that application that would be comparable.
