I think Tiki is The Stig of Typography....

I wouldn't call it the "real" way. And I don't know if flexi, signlab do it that way, either. I don't think it can be done with TT or OT fonts, anyway, because height info embedded in the font reflects the baseline to baseline measurements. I think Flexi and Signlab use their own fonts, so its...

Colin, here is a visual depiction of how letter height works in ANY typesetting program... Corel, AI, Publisher, any word processor. The type shown is Arial and Myriad, both set at 72 pt with leading set at 100% of pt size. Yes, it takes a bit getting used to when one has been babied along by...

That isn't stupid, at all -- its the way type has always been measured. Again, read post #9. Remember that Corel is not a vinyl cutting/layout program like say, the Gerber Sprint (II) was... It is first and foremost a page layout and illustration program.

And by the way, in CorelDraw, did you know that you can enter any number of units in any number box simply by following the number with the unit you want to use? You can even add, subtract and do math in number boxes and even mix units while you do this. for instance, in the page size boxes...

Colin, when you input the size of type, remember that the number you enter (inches, pts, whatever), is the distance from baseline to baseline of multiple lines of text when the leading is set at 100% of pt size. See post #9...

...along with an extrusion of the appropriate size, of course. :)

Honey Badger? He don't care... he jus' takes what he wants................

The problem with a chart like this, Colin, is that Point Size is not a direct measurement of actual cap height. Point size is based on the baseline to baseline measurement when the leading is set at 100% of Point Size. Type a single letter "A" in as Arial and set the point size to 720. Then...

........and.......?????

#1 -- the "ewis" (modified s) is probably Souvenir Italic. I think also that it is not the bold version but rather the regular that has been fattened with an outline. Just guessing about that. Also, the "e" looks like it may not even be the italic version. #2 -- first glance says to me...

if you're like me and don't care for the "Font installer" executable files that FFonts.net offers for download, the same fonts (I think) are available at dafont.com: Linky

American Uncial (AmericanUncD) with a little weight (outline) added to it...

Causes gassing with which? Acrylic or polycarbonate?

Backwards? How so? It's just a simple but sure test. What do you do? Use an electron microscope?

...and it's bulletproof (mostly), because it is soft. Acrylic is a hard plastic and a scratch can be buffed out and polished. Polycarb is soft, will scratch much easier than acrylic and can't be polished (because it is too soft). If you have a piece of plastic and you're not sure if it is...

In all the years I've been putting vinyl on plexi faces, I have never once heard of this and never had a problem occur because of it. In fact, we usually kept the paper on right up until application of vinyl to keep it clean. Acrylic is a hard, chemically-stable (mostly) plastic unlike...

All I get is another Forbidden message when I click on the ZIP file...

We have the Digital TypeFace Corp Masterworks Type Collection bundled with our first LaserMaster Lots of URW and ITC faces. All type1 fonts. Still use a lot of them. As well, over time, have purchased others, but by the end of the 90s, started buying TT fonts.

Sooooooo, ummmmm... what is PS4?
