After Effects font problem Apr 20, 10, 3:35 a.m.

Hey all

I've been using a new font for 2 weeks and suddenly today the Capital A has stopped showing up in After effects. It works in other programmes. I've deleted my prefs. I've started a new project. No luck. Any ideas?

Indesign pdf font weirdness Jun 11, 09, 3:41 p.m.

Hey guys

I've made a document in InDesign CS4 that is basically a modification of an earlier version of the document.

When I export the new one as a pdf, it looks fine opened in Preview (I'm on a mac) but if opened in Acrobat on mac or PC the fonts look weird.

In the previous version of the file the pdf opens fine... I've tried exporting the new pdf at every possible setting, no joy. Could my version of the font be corrupt?

Here is the old (fine) version:

Here is the new (badly rendering) version:

Any of you print genii got any idea what it could be?

Any advice appreciated...

Tiresius font rant Apr 3, 09, 4:56 a.m.

Tiresius makes me angry.

How this minger of a font ever got sold to the nation I'll never understand.

It was "designed" by some researchers from the RNIB -- it was designed for the blind, even though it is mainly used by deaf and full sighted people. I appreciate it's very important to design for people with visual impairment, but that doesn't mean that you have to make it ugly does it? Also it retails for a HUGE figure, and that goes to the RNIB, so they weren't really impartial researchers. They were going to sell this font as being the saviour of telly typographic legibility even if it sucks.

It doesn't have any italics, even though these would be really useful for captioning.

I went to a presentation by the main "designer" a few years ago and he was arrogantly dismissive of typography as a profession, he seemed to think that fonts are designed by layout artists who just want to make stuff pretty. I got the distinct impression that he seemed to think that beauty and legibility are mutually exclusive.

Do I have my head up my arse for thinking that is a false assumption?

I won't profess to be a type designer, but I know some of you on here have enough knowledge to point me in the right direction.

Please post some fonts that are both beautiful AND legible at a distance. They don't have to be system fonts, I'd rather they weren't.

I realise that hinting etc for translation to a digital screen would need to be taken into consideration but for the moment I just need to see some fonts that are both aesthetically considered and legible.

Tiresius is depressing me, I hate it so much! The "j" and "J" omg!!!!!!

Photoshop crosshair Mar 20, 09, 4:10 a.m.

ok so i've started using CS4 and this weird thing happens where if i try and select anything using the marquee, the selected area is about 3 pixels below the crosshair. it's REALLY annoying.

also, if i use the colour picker, the colour that is picked is also about 3 pixels below where I'm picking.

anyone had this?

But this is what happens when your guitarist has a rock and roll disaster and smashes her guitar all over the stage: you regroup and play battery powered instruments! yay
