Font Forum

Have you tried a different PDF Printer? No crash here with Foxit Reader. 36 pages of fonts, none of them installed. I've tried the Windows PDF option, and it seems to work a bit. What's peculiar about the Adobe option--and I ran into this with Extnesis, too--is that it seems as though the fonts are...

I've searched this forum; checked the Tutorials, which don't address this. I have Adobe Acrobat Distiller on my system. I use it successfully with pretty much everything-- except MainType. Nothing I do--nothing--enables me to print out a font examplar/font set from a Group of fonts, without it crash...

If you have ever used Typograf (the paid version--I have no idea if the free version also has it), the properties dialog contains a TON of information about the font itself. See screenshot for an example, from ACaslonReg. They really ought to proofread their dialogs and fix silly typos like “WidhtC...

Thanks. I've actually had the license for a while, and I do like it a lot. Don't let my moaning about the font metrics convince you otherwise, I'm quite fond of it. I'm glad to know you like our software. I do, very much. My latest undertaking is figuring out a new base folder for ALL my fonts, div...

No it is not universal. That's why I told you that information is not trustworthy. OK; I probably thought it was the apex height, or the stem, but, as I said, what matters is having a single sourced comparative point. It doesn't really matter if "height of the character cell" is unique to...

Thank both of you, but you misunderstood my meaning, about the font information . I was talking about actual information (metrics) about the font character itself , not the file size. For example, height of the character cell, units above the base line units below the baseline, kerning pairs, avera...

With only 4,300 fonts, rebuilding the groups does not take long. Just do a complete uninstall, removing the font vault, and reinstalling, creating groups from you folders. Oh, I didn't think that MT would take long; I meant that the user portion--me--would take a while, as my main directory has a f...

Hi: I've been a MT Pro user for a few years now, and just upgraded to 8. (I run multiple font managers, for a variety of reasons, but mostly because I can't seem to find ONE that gives me everything I want. The others are SuitcaseFusion and Typograf, and one that I think I've actually forgotten, now...
