i was wondering why my avant fonts appear like this? should i change any settings?

in the name of the font, there's Alt
Alt = Alternates
it's not regular characters

What software ? What version Avant Garde ?

i am in photoshop cs5. where can i download free torrent of all types of avant?

Try your fence around the corner. He usually supplies you with all you want doesn't he? So why not this?

I'm sorry I think I'm missing something, what does it mean exactly to try my fence that you have kindly mentioned in your both posts?

Fence: slang for Receiver.
Webster, A person receiving stolen goods || A place where stolen goods are received.
In short, one that deals in stolen goods.

Okay rather than me being a thieve do you happen to know where should I rub? Come on knowing the address of the bank does not make a thieve out of your holly personality, so let me know if you know any bank over the web so that I can rub? peace upon you and may god bless your holly spirit.

Federal Reserve maybe?

and you already asked here... http://www.dafont.com/fr/forum/read/24499/what-is-the-font
case solved

True daaams I know it is avant but I saw the logo of the abdc (Americans best dance crew) and it is avant as it was written in this forum and I have all of those avant fonts but it's just I don't know how to make the W's and A's like the ones used on abdc logo. I thought it is a true type font and there is a font out there exactly like that but it seems you have to combine two fonts with each other to come out something like that. is that right?

If you use multiple master ttf fonts, yes.

AVANT GARDE, not Avant...

Mate, you have Avant Garde ALTERNATES. Herb Lubalin designed A-G to be customisable, that's why your lower-case letters seem to fall over. You need to get the normal A-G font. (Ha-Ha!)
