Hello guys,

I've got some problems with a font I've downloaded. Here's an image of how the font looks like on my MAC: http://www.pic-upload.de/view-19768938/Bildschirmfoto-2013-06-19-um-17.38.35.png.html

As you can see there are some white strokes on some letters and I have no idea how to fix that. I've downloaded the file multiple times to get sure that it's not a downloading issue. Could someone please just help me. Would be very nice

Daams va peut-être corriger ça.

Hi,

Sorry for the problem.
It's one of my first fonts, made in 2005, and this is the first time that someone reports me this problem.
I saw Abuse used in many projects worldwide, and this never happened before.
But I currently don't have time to correct this problem, sorry... :/
Did you try it on real software ?

Damien

Hi Damien,

the problem occurs erverytime I want to use the font. OpenOffice as well as several graphics software aren't able to display the letters correctly. The letters appear in the way they are displayed in the file linked above - and that doesn't give it a nice look unfortunately :-/ That's why I think it has something to do with the .ttf file.

I've already tried to download the file on a Windows PC and then transfer it to my MAC, but that wasn't a solution ... As it seems only 6 characters are affected by these display problems, I'll try to use the font on a Windows PC this weekend. There I don't have these problems. Perhaps there is just a problem with OS X.

Thanks for your help so far.

One minute

Open / select all
Tools/Outline/Merge Contours
Generate font ...

need software i don't have on my current computer...

OK if I have a look at it tomorrow?

Had a quick look at it, this is the 'problem':

Looks like a lot but is simple to solve. When you daaams don't have the time I can do it for you if you like.

That would be great

koeiekat : yeah, thank you, it would be nice, if it's not too much work
