Why isn't bold fonts?

I use Illustrator to create a couple of graphic novels and have created a custom truetype font based on my own writing. I did it by sweeping that on a printed form and sending an online service called YourFonts... I was happy with the result, paid for the download and have been using it later. However, I also need bold and italics variants of this. Rather than go through the process twice again (at a cost of $15 the time) I decided to use a free font editor called FontForge to create these variants (which turned out to be deceptively simple). The image below shows the original font and variants:

I used FontForge on behalf of the LauraEss font family, the subtypes of Regular, Bold and Italic, and the names of files and equivalent policies. However there seems to be a problem with this in Illustrator, who do not have other applications in Windows 7. For some reason any fat does not seem to be different from the original. Here is what looks like an example of text (and draws as) in Illustrator:

But here's the same text in Word format (including a fake cursor):

LauraEssFontWord.jpg

I noticed that the police is much more flexible in Illustrator CS5, and I do not think that Word performs a fake bold or italic. http://FontForge.sourceforge.NET/Overview.html#TOC

Laura sent me three fonts and using the ttx to empty its files in a readable/editable format I was able to adapt to them - there were a few errors, probably due to the fact that FontForge has not treated the three fonts as belonging to the same "family":

"1. the usWeightClass was 'medium' for all three, while it should be""Bold" for the police "BOLD". "

2. the italicAngle in the table 'post' for italics is 0, whereas it should have some value of negaitive (I put it-"12", which seems a common value)

3. a real head-scratcher, as at that time there italics and "BOLD" keys worked, but the order of the menu police was still not correct (italic first, then regular). I finally found that for a font italicized, you must also set the caretSlopeRun and the caretSlopeRise of some magic values other than the default value "1.0" (indicating a cursor "upward"). Change to semi-magie (*) "1 000 176" finally resolved values.

(*) Semi-magic because these values apparently doing something, but I'll be darn if I know how to interpret...

Reading his original post, I belately realize I don't have Word to test with. But his policies are "Comparefamily" of Adobe and tests validator Microsoft font families, so I guess this should then be allright.

... It was a useful exercise for me as well because thinking that italics problem told me something I didn't know that could be a problem in a font!

  • Why is the fixed font size in Windows Mail (Vista) after installing IE9?

    I use Vista.  When I installed IE9, I discovered that the font size in any of my messages of e-mail in the Mail window is fixed.  I can't even use a bold font.  Why is this, and is there anything done to correct the problem?

    Why isn't open illustrator?

    Dear Sanjay

    Thank you, thank you and once again I say thank you! I was on the phone for an hour with the Adobe technical support and they couldn't get it done. But your suggestion worked like a charm. I searched the Verdana and it was not in the system fonts folder. I moved it to the folder of fonts library, and for the first time since the illustrator update restarted open, yahooooooo!

    Thank you, Mr President

    Why isn't my old watch backup appear in the list when you set up the replacement or new shows?

    I've been upgraded to a new watch, and during the installation of my phone would not offer a restore of backup.  The problem is that the factory OS on the new watch was 2.0.1 while backup of my old watch watch OS 2.1.

    I had to implement the new shows like new, then update the OS 2.1, désapparier it and pair it again.  It gave me the option to restore the backup of the original watch origin.

  • Why isn't my Windows Update Agent update to version 7.6.7600.256 as KB949104 says it should?

    OS: Windows XP Professional SP3

    They have recently tightened the Windows UPDATE agent to treat the virus of the flame by the update to version 7.6.7600.256.

    Of KB949104...

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    How to obtain the latest Windows Update Agent if Windows Update or the automatic updates is enabled, the latest version of the Windows Update Agent will be automatically downloaded and installed on your computer. If you go to Windows Update until it is installed automatically, you will see a message to install the Windows Update Agent:
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I visited Windows Update et.256 is not available. I currently have 7.4.7600.226.

    I also did an experience in a virtual XP machine:
    I drove in arriere.226 to what comes of the actions on XP SP3 and WU then visited. 226, which was not installed pas.256.

    I also have a Windows 7 running in a virtual machine and one notices not to come through, but this guy doesn't.

    Also, why isn't the redistributable not offered by download? Those of us who do CDs unattended need.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    There is no stand-alone installer for the latest version of the Windows Update Agent (7.6.7600.256). Here are instructions on how to get the version of the Windows Update Agent 7.4.7600.226.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946928

    Looks like they finally leave the valves on that. My Google for the keyword 7.6.7600.256 alerts has been non-stop for the last 24 hours. All my systems to update recently.

    I really doubt that they were not shut down at the same time to lighten the load on the servers since a patch work Tuesday them probably 1 million fold more difficult.

    I'm not sure that they have a web presence or are accessible by modern tools of communication such as cell phones. You may have to go there yourself, explain your situation and ask for advice. However, I suspect those of Delphi, Greese may not appreciate mount Parnassus, being called a "bunch of garbage." Nevertheless, I think it might be useful to ask the help of the oracle of Delphi, despite this potential problem.

  • Why isn't Windows PE 2.0 available for free?

    I paid for my legal copy of Vista Home Premium when I bought my computer, why so PE 2.0 available only if I buy a retail copy of the CD?   Microsoft makes service packs available for free why isn't PE in one of these?

    I have a program to create images of backup of my hard drive.   Without a rescue boot disk, the image is useless.    I want to be able to retrieve my whole hard drive in the event of a disaster, not only my documents and files.   I don't want if sit and wait for SP2 to retrieve all published updates.  That could take days.  Macrium Reflect is a free software that allows you to do exactly that, the problem is, Vista is locked, I have to pay for the version that has the PE file that will allow me to create my rescue CD.   I can respect the fact that you don't want other software distributors using Microsoft property without paying, but I already paid for Vista.  What other programs Ichose to run with him should not be hindered by the latter.  Windows XP it didn't need, and these people are happy as clams.  Me. I'm not such a happy camper.  Vista was not one of the best products from Microsoft and I'm about to go back to XP, or jump up to Windows 7.   Vista was nothing more than a prolonged headache.

    There must be a way to get Windows PE for free?

    You paid for an OEM license of the manufacturer of the computer; not a Microsoft retail license...

    It is up to the manufacturer of the computer, what they have on their recovery disks.

    They only have to provide you with the means to reinstall Vista to factory settings; what they are doing.

    They provide an easy way for computer users to recover and as soon as POSSIBLE running.

    It is a good alternative:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista , and just serves as a Windows PE for recovery of your PC interface. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
