why are you using illustrator for page layout?
- If it's for a single or few page document, why not? It's a little clunkier, but not a heck of a lot.detritus
- fair enoughbulletfactory
- because Illy's font handling sucks a big hairy sack of big balls, both in one mouth and tongue out reaching for an unwashed shaftmekk
- How so? Do you mean on output or in workspace rendering? Latter's certainly got the occasional issue - but the former? What? (curious, not confrontational!)detritus
- It's the variety of options to style and edit larger chunks of texts in illy. If you want to set up a proper page you need an array of functions that illymekk
- simply doesn't have, like a font grid and suchmekk
- Ok, it's fine for single pages few-page documents that don't feature large swathes of text? ie. as Mono says, its font-handling is visually proximate to IND's?detritus
- Of course its OK for a quick flyer (Don't know what he's doing but it sounds quick)mekk
- I agree, type control is shit in Illy compared to InDesign. The way boxes align vs first baseline, lack of optical margin control, and on and on.monospaced
- but it can be done, and probably makes sense for small things or website mocksmonospaced
