Menhir, I'm afraid dawnclose has no clue what ¿she? is doing. Probably never ever saved the files, just opened them. Otherwise they would not be in a temp folder.

That one lacks the street name. Lollykupec now has the full mail address so can write to Graham Meade.

Lollykupec, If you create the pdf without embedding the font and the printer installs the font before opening the pdf it'll work.

Restricted license embedding. No embedding allowed. Ergo you can't embed the font in a pdf or eps.

No such file here ...

Why should that make any difference for a business card?

No such thing around. You might want to try the numbers (10, there are not that many fonts around with 14 numbers) of for example the Reminel aka Nouveau but then you would still have to feed those to a bunch of termites before it will have the same impression.

Could have, sure. But that is not a direct answer to the question in case ...

Mumble ... mumble, Sascha/Alex, the question was simple, straight forward and not open to free interpretation: "does anyone know where I might be able to DL the Zapfino font for free?". The answer can be and is as straight forward: Yes. No link was asked for, so that imaginary part of the question needed no answer. If, however a link would have been asked for the answer would have been, yes, but I'm not gonna tell you.

edited for typo. kk

The policy is simple, no commercial fonts for free download.

Nope. And you know you shouldn't ask.

Nope. Scanahand is for pears ... not for apples.

Yes.

Here.

There are plenty of lookalikes in the Bitmap/Pixel dept.

Except of course Menhir when you need to scale the pict. This font is 12 year old. Why ShyWedge set restricted license embedding in all the fonts? Dunno. But as Shyfonts has since long joined the foundries in the sky I would simply change the embedding setting ...

Hmmm, didn't try that site but you're right, it doesn't accept the wst_czec.fon file. So to try I have made a ttf with the capitals only to see how it turns out. Works OK but I don't really see the use of it, the basis is and stays an 8 pixel face and all you do is simply enlarging those pixels. Why would you want that? And, out of curiosity, why specially the czech character set?

Files with a FON extension are raster ("not scalable bitmap") font files. Windows uses both raster and vector (scalable) fonts. The vector fonts are typically Truetype fonts contained in files with a TTF extension. Photoshop only works with scalable fonts.

But you can convert the FON file to TTF. Have a look here. Remember though that the result is just a scalable bitmap/pixel font.


Some FON files are needed by the OS and must not be removed from your installed fonts folder.
