Probably not exactly what you are looking for.

Alternate T

@ tophy, don't worry, I know the difference between type, face and font. From vinz post I understood that the French police is a type (Garamond est une police de caractères / Garamond is a [letter]type, which is the correct way to phrase it). Have not understood what is French for typeface (face of a type) what is exactly what most people here and there ask for. For imho italic is not the same as oblique (right-slanted), book, roman or extra bold extended (faces).

@ Jason,

@ Vinz
When I was still young and ignorant I used this definition: 'a font is a size of a face of a type'.

@ Jason
'don't not' ... double negative, like -1 times -1

For vinz

OK Kyousuke. It was just the confusion about the police ... If you name a typeface 'police' how do you name an allcaps? Marines? Special Forces? ...

No patience or maybe a bit upset about the police brutality ... who knows. Or maybe she doesn't understand that it takes time to dig tens of thousands of fonts to try to find that thingie.
Anyway, I have looked at some 30.000 now to find it with no result. More than that number to go ... but not anymore I understand.

Alan Meeks designed the Candice typeface in 1976. A groovy swirl of a font, Candice looks like an ice cream sundae topped with whipped cream. Candice is often seen on album covers, and has come to be associated with innumerable party hits from the 1970s. One thing is for sure: Candice is a child of it's times - flashy, lively, and fun!

Apply -40 negative kerning, -60 for the first o, stretch the result horizontally to 120% and Bingo!


There are quite some Candice variations around, a few are: PT Banana Split, FZ Jazzy 49, Cherry, URWCippusD, Dolphins, ...

Gladly done seraffin and, see, a pict helps

pity, thought I finally located the font police. alas ...

So FontFont is the font police?

Can someone translate this please? What has the police to do with this?

@ cndhoffman
With the Alphawood as is there are only limited ways to workaround your problem. The nice one is to NOT to embed the font in the pdf but to make the font available with the pdf and instruct the pdf user to open or install the font before opening the pdf. This sounds simple and it is simple but far from idiot proof. About 99.99% of the people that you send the files to will not understand what to do or simply ignore it. So the nice way will almost guaranteed not work.
Rests the not-so-nice way, dasklem's vectorizing suggestion - which can be done with a short text but is not producing the best quality.

Strange though that Miss Claude set restricted license embedding in a free font ...

No clue, they open and install OK under Vista this side.

Does this happen with 'older' fonts only or also with 'newer' fonts?
Older meaning fonts made before say 2000. If so, the problem may be in the naming section of the font. Quite some older fonts - specially the freebees - don't have the unique font identifier included, which was 'fine' up to Win98 but XP already had problems with those and Vista is even more critical about this.

Not stress but suspense
