May 02, 2011 at 11:56  [reply]  Trouble with Nickelodeon Font

As long as LadyDi wants to use the font as a CAM file for her own personal use only I don't see the problem. All she wants is to use the font on her embroidery machine. If that is not allowed it should also not be allowed to use the font as an vector/image and then make some deformations because that is also using the font other than straight forward as is.

Edit kk:
@ LadyDi
Can you give me the names of 3 fonts that you could convert successfully?

You don't need OpenType. Nor Publisher 2010 nor Office 2007 can handle OpenType. For that you need Publisher 2011 and Office 2010.

themes ............ ?



Installation methods vary per Windows version. What can be done - though not advisable - under XP does not work under 7. Remember earlier discussion on this subject.



Which OS? How installed?

... you should always find out WHY someone is doing what they’re doing before u assume or even make the decision of what they’re is wrong. Ask questions first and make conclusions later. ...

When you're pointing at someone please remember there are always two fingers pointing back
You may not have realized, but 'need a freeware (license free for commer[i]cial use) font simil[i]ar to clearface gothic' does sound a bit greedy ...
Ergo had you explained what you explain now the reply would have been different.
There is no really 'similar' freebee around but the real thing is probably affordable:
Adobe Clearface Gothic $29,00 = €19,57
Too expensive?
URW+++ Clearface Gothic $19,95 = €13,45
Still too expensive?
Softmaker's rip-off Clear Gothic $14,99 = €10,09
Still too expensive?
Go hunt for the Brendel Informatik collection. It includes Softmaker's Clear Gothic.
While hunting you may stumble upon WSI's Clearface Gothic. A close to perfect reproduction of the original, but no kerning pairs and thus unfit for body text - exactly where this type excels ...
The hunt may take you several hours, the collections do not float around anymore as they used to. So maybe buying may in the end be a more efficient solution.
Can't afford the time or the money? Shut down the business. Can't be a real money-maker.

On SMS thumbs spelling, it is considered highly impolite. As impolite as the Spanish all caps shouting. Using that spelling you're not making a point. You're loosing one.

Edit kk:
If you had told us your website URL we would have been able to tell you exactly which Clearface Gothic your agency has used. But you didn't. The Kat wonders what's behind the secret ...

There are similar, sort of, but not free for commercial use.
I keep wondering, when you and others want to make money using others creations then why is it so difficult to pay a little money for the right to do so? Is that little investment really making your - future - business impossible? If so probably better to give up your whole business idea. No investment ... no business ...

Note: the correct spelling is thanks. And your, not ur. SMS thumbs are for phones. Not for keyboards.

@Rodolphe,

@picklethepug
Isabelle Trolio aka Solar Sister maybe the Isabelle Trolio running Ruck Rover Gerneral Store. Maybe she still has a contact for Stephen Deken. I can be totally wrong of course but as Solar Sister she was known to be from Mount Lawley (Perth), West Australia, same place where her store is ...

UnitedStates here on dafont lacks the readme file, alas. Yet, it is commonly known - or easy to find - that Stephen Deken and Isabelle Trolio ran typearound. So just try another older typearound font. Most of them here on dafont have the readme file.
No current contact info known.

@Johnnyk951
This info is not for you as we have no clue what font you are talking about. Always handy to carefully hide the essential info needed to be able to help.

Thank you for downloading a Typearound font. Please be aware that the fonts

following addresses:

Yeah, we know, you could have figured that out by yourself. I know, I know.
I'm sorry. Now that that's out of the way, though.. all fonts on Typearound

Have a good day !

Stephen Deken closed typearound in february 2002. His farewell: "It's been too long since I made a new font, and all I ever got from it was spam. Perhaps one day it will come back, but I wouldn't hold your breath."

Sadly, all links shown here are now defunct.



Any idea why this 'Help' link is here?

Apr 23, 2011 at 20:53  [reply]  What do you guys think of Fontstruct?

And that is exactly the difference with real font software where the designer him/herself determines the shape of each glyph, independent from predetermined pure geometrical shapes. Thus, incomparable.


Apr 23, 2011 at 16:23  [reply]  What do you guys think of Fontstruct?

It is a different world. Incomparable with any font software.


Apr 22, 2011 at 08:55  [reply]  Are Your Guys Font Copyright or No?

Not without permission of the designer. You will need that permission in writing.


Apr 21, 2011 at 09:08  [reply]  Are Your Guys Font Copyright or No?

Of course. Every designer of any font here or somewhere else holds the copyright on his/her creation. Read the convention of Berne papers.

... maybe first read and then write?


Apr 19, 2011 at 20:03  [reply]  Please help : how to install a font ?

The way you do it is - by far - not the best way. If you want to help people that is great, but then give them the correct solution. OK?
