  1. problem with typing a font in corel12

    I didn't mean to insinuate that you didn't buy software and fonts by any means, sorry if that came out wrong. It's just a problem I have run into myself in the past. I use Ray Larabie fonts myself.
  2. hello from Texas

    Welcome! Feel free to contact me with any questions you have about your equipment . . . looks like we run the same stuff although I got rid of LXi after a year. Despite what others say, I am confident in my Lynx 60 and run it on a bi-weekly basis right now.
  3. font Help

    D. Glen sure looks like House Industries - Ed Benguiat Fonts - Ed Brush. But try AutoCAD RomanS with a thickness of .1 (change your pen thickness)
  4. problem with typing a font in corel12

    Check your version of sofachrome.ttf and make sure it is the Ray Larabie version released in 1999. If not, it is available at myfonts.com, read the user agreement on all fonts you use from My Fonts as not all are licensed for commercial use. The problem you are experiencing is common among...
  5. delete white box around bitmap

    Yes Vid, there is. Depending on which version of Corel Draw you run, the options will appear in one of several dialog boxes that appear during the export process. 1. The "Export" Dialog box lets you name your file, choose the destination, file format and file compression type. (For this...
  6. I have a Dell. Please stop laughing.

    I'll second the tiger direct link. I've been buying from them for years and they have been nothing but the best when it comes to tech support, service, price, availability and selection. As for my "shop machine" I bought from Best Buy the last time and went with an "off the shelf" HP. Best...
  7. Which Corel?

    For a good, stable, tested version, I really like version 10 for the money. As for the nuts and bolts of the software, versions 10, 11 and 12 are very similar with not much difference than changes in the user interface. Version X3 is very nice, a little more stable and much more plotter...
  8. delete white box around bitmap

    Stacy, Here's an issue I see frequently in all versions of Corel Draw and it seems to have carried over into X3, when you export your image as a bitmap, a thin border or transition (one pixel in thickness by default, larger if you change the default settings) has been added in the final image...

    This logo is actually the oldest digital version out there. The newest logo can be seen at www.sandyjonesracingflags.com. Thanks for the comments.
  11. Taking the Jump

    I think Cheryl has some great woeds of advice. Put it in writing if you decide a partner is the route to take. If the issue is money, I would suggest other avenues to gaining the needed funding. By taking on a partner as the source of funds, they will have the ultimate control of what goes...
  12. Curved TExt Tool? Where and how

    You can also align your text cursor to the shape you want to align the text to and type away. Great screen shots CDS.
  13. I'm having some problems with corel draw graphics suite 12

    Nothing new . . . . I've been using Corel for quite some time and it usually comes down to what you're doing on screen that overloads the volitile memory of your machine (256 is way not enough for Corel). Problem #1 - Converting polygons, text outlines etc. to objects inevitably causes the...

    Welcome!
  15. please help the newbie choose a plotter

    The Sign Warehouse plotters have a learning curve to the alignment process that takes half a lifetime. Get the Summa, the most feature rich product for the money. As for tracking, why the need to cut anything longer than a car? Anything longer than 12' and there probably isn't a panel that...

    Hey George, the sign is on it's way! I'm incorporating a set of the actual flags into a HDU sign with an MDO backer panel. The sign is for trade shows.

  18. Frustration gone to seed...

    I'm the last person to consult on an Edge since I don't have one, but common sense tells me to start with the cheapest component. Proper cable and proper length. Usually over six foot and you risk data loss or radio frequency interference. Also check to see if you have any loose connections and...
