Hi there everyone.

I have developed a company logo on Illustrator using the Walkway SemiBold font.

Sadly, when I began to look closer, the lines for the font aren't straight. It almost seems as though whomever developed this font did so in a fairly sloppy manner. The "l" doesn't have a clean vertical line. When looking at the ovals inside of letters "e", "o", "b", etc you can see that the lines seem jagged at best and almost look pixelated.

Does anyone know of a cleaner version of this font? Or a workaround for this font? I'm at a loss for what to do now - my executives insist this is the correct font, but it will require me to go in and modify the lines each time we use the font. (I had a friend help me the last time).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Best,

- Jordan

jordansj, I didn't see anything wrong with that font. Perhaps you might get better results, if you change your font viewing settings. These are the instructions for Windows XP. You should be able to do the same thing in a similar way with Windows 7:

1) Right-click My Computer, and select Properties to open the System Properties dialog box, (or open the System icon in the Control Panel). Click the Advanced tab, then click the Settings button in the Performance section. One of the items on the list is 'Smooth edges of screen fonts'. Click on the box to the left of that, to either enable or disable, then click OK to make the change, and close the dialog box. You can change this back later, if you want to.

2) Right-click the desktop, and chose Properties, (probably called Preferences in Win7), or click the Display icon in the Control Panel. Select the Appearance tab. Click the effects button, to open the Effects dialog box. In the section 'Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts', open the list box, and change the setting - the two choices should be 'Standard' and 'ClearType'. Click OK to confirm the changes and close the Effects dialog box. You have to close the Display Properties dialog box separately.

With a vectorial graphic editot like Illustrator, you can recreate the design of some letter using lines and curves.
You use the font only as a layer and redraw each lines at your convenience and, when your work is finish, you delete the text of the font.
