  1. Eye candy in a text?

    The simplest way to do what you want is... Set up the text in Draw. Start up Photo Paint. Copy the text from Draw and paste it into Photo Paint as an object. Do whatever gets you off with the Alien Skin plug ins. Copy the resultant Photo Paint object back into Draw. It will now be...
  2. Font Help

    Hand lettered. I realize that it's a somewhat less than clear image but... The differences in like letters is such that it cannot be accounted for merely by image resolution. Of the four uppercase 'O's, no two of them are precisely alike. The two 'R's are different from each other...
  3. looking for rosewood font

    You can also get it here as something called 'Goldrush'... http://members.memlane.com/gromboug/fontpage.htm ...for free.
  4. Imagaro Z Help Please!

    You're probably mixing apples and oranges. Just what, exactly, are you trying to accomplish? Print or plot? Imagaro is a bitmap tracing engine, no? LXi, nee Flexi, is a vector application with some rudimentary bitmap capabilities, yes? So then, just what are you trying to import into your...
  5. Help with Corel 11

    You have to select "Choose Program..." at the bottom of the 'Open With...' popup the you invoked by right-clicking the file icon. This brings up another dialog where you can choose the program to use as well as specify to always use this program for this type of file.
  6. Installing fonts ..won't work! Help...

    Try Start->Settings->Control Panel. Double click 'Fonts'. This is the official collection of fonts installed on your machine. This folder usually corresponds to 'C:\WINDOWS\Fonts' but not always thus the control panel access. See if there isn't 'LHF Convecta' right there where it's supposed to...
  7. Air bubbles on metal signs

    There's not a trick, there's just good technique. The flatter and more non-porous the substrate the better your technique needs to be. What you describe might indicate that you're not using the squeegee to put the vinyl in initial contact with the substrate, you're not using sufficient pressure...
  8. spot colors??????

    I assume the you're using some sort of RIP. How are your rendering intents set? If you want to print spot colors then you should set your rendering intents to 'Spot', or 'Saturation' if 'Spot' isn't an option. This should circumvent any color correction associated with all of the other...
  9. X3 question

    You guys work too hard... Just set up a pair of opposing hearts as Shovelhead did and combine them into a single object. Then do Arrange->Transformation->Rotate. Select the degrees to rotate, any number thats a factor of 180 will work, the smaller the more overlap. Make sure that the...
  10. corel x3, 11 both?

    Yes. But why?
  11. Font Id Please

    Zurich, a secondary name local to my hardware, but the actual name eludes me. The 'Great Windows' is done in small caps.
  12. Whos makes the best Laptops??

    Laptops are fungible, meaning that aside from personal prejudice, they're all fundamentally the same functionally. To hear some militant brand chauvinist or another rant how brand X or Y or Z is the best and all of the others are fashioned in the workshops of hell might give otherwise reasonable...
  13. Reading material?

    What do you mean by "No longer"? Did it used to function properly and suddenly stop or did you change/upgrade/twiddle something? There is/was a Graphtec firmware update and a corresponding Flexi 7 patch the addressed this very situation. But that was about 18 months or so ago and I'm not sure...
  14. Gradient Problem with Photoshop

    Are you saving it as CMYK or RGB? It has the anemic look of CMYK . If so try saving it as RGB and let your RIP do the final translation, you'll get better color. Mostly.
  15. Custom color pallette with Flexi?

    Ok, by the numbers [this is using Flexi 7.6V2 but it's no doubt the same in 8]... View->Color->New Table, a new table should appear. You can drag it out if its docked position for clarity. Or not. View->Color->Color Specs... On the Color Specs dialog select just the new swatch table you...
  16. I.D. please..............

    On my machines it's something called 'Artcraft Bold'. Bog knows where it came from but there it is.
  17. Contour Cut with Corel Draw

    In Corel an outline is a ribbon of specified width centered on the outside edges of the selection being outlined. It's analogous a stroke in Flexi. A contour in Corel is a copy of the selection, or multiple copies of the selection, larger or smaller than the selection placed behind or in...
  18. Font on US Currency

    Never thought you did. Nonetheless, there's an abundance of people that seem to think that each an every character used anywhere can be found in some ttf etc file. It certainly isn't a leap of faith to assume that the original poster was so inclined, else why would it ask? Just thought I'd...
  19. Font on US Currency

    Well, sort of. The face of the characters on the currency is the product of the engraver's hand. The typeface found at the referenced web site is most likely extrapolation of the characters seen on the bills. There's lots of faces that have a similar history wherein specific words exist...
  20. New Corel User

    Before you copy the text from Corel do Arrange->Convert Outline to Object. Outlines in Corel are not the same as outlines in Flexi. Flexi attempts to treat Corel's outlines as strokes, an entirely different animal, but ends up screwing them up anyway. Converting the outline to an object takes...
