Banco (horizontally stretched).

Take a look at the attached diagram. That gives an example of lettering being sized according to the capital letter height in terms of inches, as well as spacing lines of lettering apart in inches. I don't mess around with sizing lettering in terms of points unless I am composing graphics, body...

Actually, the font sizing issues were previously worse in Adobe Illustrator than they were in CorelDRAW. In Corel it's at least possible to create dummy block letters like "E" as artistic text objects, then size and position them as needed. It's a somewhat reliable way to get something like 10...

All digital typefaces are built within an imaginary box called an Em Square, aka "em size" or UPM size. There are numerous horizontal guide lines built into those fonts (baseline, x-height, cap-height, ascender and descender). Then there is often extra space above and below those lines (see the...

Need some help with this one. I swear I've seen it before, but just can't find a match looking through font books and what not. The type has been squeezed, along with other effects added, which makes it worthless for running through the MyFonts What The Font filter. TIA for any help.

Heck, one thing that is very important is for any business to check and see if there is already a Google business page set up for their business already, but being controlled by some unknown person or organization. That kind of cyber-squatting is actually pretty common. The upshot is Google is...

That's a ridiculous analogy on so many fronts. Sign companies don't have any leverage over customers at all, much less the kind of leverage a utility company can wield. There is no scenario where a sign company can suddenly raise its prices by 10,000% without immediately going out of business...

Plain English. Right. Show me where they specifically and clearly warn a variable rate plan can nail a customer with a $5000-$15000 bill for one month or even one week worth of electricity. I strongly doubt it's a bullet point any of those companies want to openly advertise. Because it a...

I guarantee you those re-sellers aren't paying those excessive costs. But they are charging excessive costs on an even more extreme degree than what futures speculators have done with commodities like oil. Do you carefully read line by line the EULA for every piece of computer software you buy...

Some of it might boil down to buyer beware. But It doesn't sound like all the information was plainly there for all to easily see. Where in the verbiage does Griddy warn consumers they could end up paying $6000-$17000 for one week of electrical service (and have their bank account instantly...

Yeah, for anyone reading the thread not familiar with events in this region, the Hotter'N Hell Hundred is the largest single-day 100 mile endurance bicycle race in the United States. It's held in Wichita Falls every year in late August. There are some shorter distance races and more...

I was able to get in touch with the person who created the graphics. The typeface turned out to be something called Maquette Pro. Never heard of it.

The weather gets even more ridiculous here in Oklahoma. Last week, early that Tuesday morning Lawton set a new all time record low temperature of -12°F. The next Tuesday (yesterday) our high was up to 78°F. That's basically a 90 degree temperature swing. The temperature fell below zero here...

I'm stumped on this one. At first I thought it was Franklin Gothic, but the lowercase "a" in the attached sample is different. I swear I've seen this face before. The "What the Font" thing at MyFonts' web site isn't providing anything accurate. This came from a small portion of logo someone...

Living just North of the Red River here in Okie Country there have been plenty of times I've been jealous of Texas. NOT THIS TIME! Holy Geez Louise! We have quite a few nearly empty grocery store shelves up here in Oklahoma. I visited one of our local grocery stores earlier this evening and I...

In one respect it's a strange kind of fun to fix graphics problems. On the other hand this idea feels like opening a great big can of worms. Putting it bluntly, no one wants to do any kind of freelance graphics work and/or graphics trouble-shooting services at the risk of getting ripped off by a...

I'll always hate vertical phone videos. So much eyewitness news footage is badly goofed up thanks to people who can't manage to hold their phones sideways. Vertical video captured by a phone is okay when played back on a phone held vertically. But the video sucks @$$ played on anything else, be...

That's the footage from the pile-up 6:30am Thursday. Grimly funny commentary coming from the guy shooting video at the 3 minute mark. Near the end of the video I was glad to see at least a couple people knew how to frame a shot correctly. I just really detest vertical video.

Actually, it turns out the speed limit at the spot of the pile up is 65mph in the general purpose lanes and 75mph in the tolled express lanes: https://www.google.com/maps/@32.7875817,-97.3209603,3a,75y,3.19h,91.46t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sKadugkVsMocs9DnDT6sodg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 But, yeah, add...

We had the same icy weather here in Lawton on Wednesday morning. Black ice all over the roads, sidewalks and parking lots. I-44 in Lawton was closed down and traffic diverted for hours because a truck jack-knifed at the Cache Road interchange. There were dozens of crashes all over town. No one...
