To be fair I had seen numerous discussion threads in the Adobe user forums About Adobe CS3 applications and compatibility issues with 64-bit operating systems. The first threads I saw involved Windows XP x64 Edition (it caused issues with Adobe InDesign, Acrobat, Adobe Type Manager and some...

Just tried backing up to a system restore point from 2 days ago. That didn't help. Probably going to have to nuke the OS and reinstall everything fresh. :rolleyes:

Adobe customer support? What customer support? They get you in a chat room, then do nothing to solve the problem and just point you back to their support page -which basically leads you to the forums where anyone in the "peanut gallery" can just spit-ball the problem Dealing with that this...

Went through the process of uninstalling, downloading and reinstalling Illustrator CS6. No dice. Then I found out a worse problem: all my 64-bit CS6 apps are NOT working. The 32-bit versions run OK. Nothing on the 64-bit versions. I'm running Windows 8 Pro, 64-bit and a new Dell XPS 8500...

My installation of Illustrator CS6 64-bit is flat out dead. It will not launch. The 32-bit version still works. The 64-bit version will not launch regardless of restarting the computer or trying to launch the .exe file under the "run as administrator" command. I've tried searching for an aiprefs...

I've been dealing with some headaches from time to time in managing fonts in Windows 7 and now with Windows 8 as well. The built in font manager within Windows seems like an improvement over the one built into Windows XP. Fonts can be organized in groups. You get thumbnail views of fonts...

IMHO, clipping masks should be used very sparingly. I also strongly believe in organizing Illustrator artwork on various layers to keep the elements more organized. If I receive an especially complicated piece of clipping mask infected artwork, I'll import the entire thing into Photoshop...

It's easier to design things in RGB color space to bypass strange issues with how various RIPs handle CMYK files, as well as all the color profile variables that come with handling CMYK. It's not too hard to control CMYK if you're handling everything in house. But when you have to hand something...

Hi folks, the typeface used in the attached image looks like a cross between Cosmos, Britannic and Imperial. I can't figure out what it might be. TIA for any help!

Basic info for my PC: CPU: Core i7 3770 quad core, 3.4GHz RAM: 24GB Video Card: 2GB nVidia GeForce GTX 660 Hard Disc: 2TB Sata 6 Gb/s hard disc with 32GB solid state cache Running Corel version 16.2.0.998 I can't seem to find a setting within CorelDRAW X6 to manually set the amount of RAM it...

AFAIK, if you're running Windows 8 -and that would likely be the case when buying a new computer- you'll be stuck having to upgrade to CorelDRAW X6. I tried installing CorelDRAW X5 but it wouldn't load. I had to order the upgrade. To get by I installed the trial version of X6. I couldn't install...

BUMP A day or two after I encountered this problem in Adobe Illustrator CS6 I found even worse things happening with computers running earlier versions. Now when I try opening a .CDR file in Illustrator CS5 (on my notebook, running Win 7 Ultimate) the program crashes completely. One of our...

Helvetica Neue Extra Bold Extended

At the beginning of December I upgraded from CorelDRAW X5 to version X6. The upgrade turned out to be necessary since my new desktop computer, running Windows 8 Professional 64-bit, refused to install X5. BTW, the new machine is a Dell XPS 8500 Special Edition pretty well loaded thanks to a...

Bumping this thread a couple weeks later. Does anyone know if Microsoft has fixed that one update that caused all the Postscript Type 1 font issues? Microsoft still seems to be pushing that update out to users, along with other updates.

Is anyone suddenly having issues trying to import CorelDRAW artwork into Adobe Illustrator? I'm now having a problem doing so. Anytime I try to open or place a CorelDRAW file (saved down to the versions supported by Illustrator) I get the odd looking error message attached to this post. I...

Yesterday one of our older PCs, running Win XP Pro SP3 32-bit, got hit with this nonsense. All of a sudden, no fonts in Flexi. This morning my brand new desktop, running Win 8 Pro 64-bit, was showing the same problem in CorelDRAW X6 (64-bit version). TrueType fonts would work, but anything...

I'm trying to figure out what handwriting style typeface was used to create this restaurant logo. The type doesn't look like it came from a commercial foundry. I searched through sites like dafont and didn't have any luck. Thanks in advance for any help identifying this one.

The text around the "G" looks very odd. Some of it looks like a condensed or compressed weight of Franklin Gothic that has been horizontally stretched, like the letter "R" for instance. Some of the other letters look like condensed weights of Helvetica. Definitely more than one typeface was...

The script in the attached image seems pretty familiar, but I just can't quite place it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help!
