Font Forum

Well I found one that was highly recommended on Download.com: TypeLight. Once I figured out how to work the program, I was able to easily delete the glypch for the ampersand, and then paste one from Calibri that I wanted, and then save the new font.

Maybe I've misunderstood what you're describing, but you can't "go into the font" in a word processor or DTP program. If you want to copy the ampersand from one font file to another, you need to use a font editor. No, it sounds like you understand my question. OK then I'll look for a free...

Sorry, when I said copy and paste, I meant using Word to go into the font itself and make a change---not editing the document. I did that today, but was wondering if there was a more long term solution to this issue. I don't use either of these fonts in a professional setting, so I doubt that anyone...

I have just started using Trebuchet MS as the default font in MS Office (I saw it in a MacBook and couldn't believe how nice it looked), but I hate its ampersand (&) symbol. I would like to use Calibri's ampersand symbol. Now my question is (and this is from a bona fide font newbie)--how can I d...

Yes, that's just what I was looking for. the Ringbearer font looks very nice. Thanks again!

I saw the font for the latest Hobbit (Desolation of Smaug), and thought it would be cool to have.

Does anyone know where a free copy is?

Yes, it looks very much like Engravers. Especially, how those serifs (if that's the correct term) on the T and the E are shaped. And that middle row on the B curves down a little bit, too. Yeah I think that's it. I agree it would be strange for an ad to use TNR, it was just a font I've seen a lot of...

Now that I did a comparison with the same text from MS Word, it looks a LOT like Times New Roman.

I'm wondering if anyone can identify the font used in those Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World" commercials. I've uploaded some examples.

William, Source Sans Pro is looking very good right now. It actually looks a LOT like Calibri (a good thing)--smooth, rounded, gentle on the eyes, not too flashy or attention grabbing--, with a good one, uppercase L, and lowecase i. I'm going to give it a test drive for a couple of days, but man thi...

Thanks, William; I've already d/l it and I'll install it and play with it and Consolas later this week, and report back with my thoughts.

Who would have thought Adobe and open source would go together in the same sentence?

Maybe if you use a Monospaced fonts like Consolas. Consolas looks pretty good (a bit like the fonts on those old-fashioned computers), and the uppercase I looks like an actual I, with feet/serifs on both top and bottom, so this looks pretty good for what I want---certainly pretty good for a sans fo...

Thanks, Bikkhu, the Optima font retains a nice classy look (rare IMHO for a sans font), while at least managing to distinquish between the one and the other two characters. I don't suppose I'm going to have much luck finding a sans serif font that has the serifs on the uppercase I, will I?

I have enjoyed using Calibri because it is a very smooth and readable font, but every once in a while I wish there was a better way for these sans-serif fonts to display 1, capital I, and lowercase l, because they look very similar. Has a sans-serif font been produced that has these three characters...

In case anyone else will look for this, at the Microsoft Answers site I found out that Windows 7 comes with a nice font called Ebrima, which does have a few serifs that distinguish the characters I had in mind, and it looks very much like Calibri (I had to change the font size from 12 to 11, b/c it ...
