Yes, thanks for the link, I am also a Glyphs user. I'm definitely no expert when it comes to vertical metrics, but do understand the basics. I believe the software is ignoring any vertical metrics entirely. I've given the customer test fonts with two different Units per Em and the results were...

Hi Gino, he is a paying customer. I am the source of the fonts, but this isn't a font issue. The fonts work correclty in Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, as well as when imported into Gerber using the TT Font Converter (which gives users direct control over the font height). This is a WinPCSign...

Yes, I understand, but if you look at the attached image you can see the issue a little more clearly. The two larger fonts are actually different fonts of a similar style as the smaller ones. The smaller fonts are being rendered at 1.311", even though all 4 fonts have been given a height of 1.5"...

Hello, I've got a customer who's having an issue with TrueType fonts being brought into WinPCSign too small. Some fonts work properly, and others will have an incorrect height. So, if he types in 1.5" for the font height, with certain fonts he'll get a height of 1.311". Anyone else dealt with...

Sorry, I'm late to the party on this, but I believe the names of those fonts were incorrectly given to you which has caused a lot of the confusion trying to track them down. The top roman font is an old plastic ScotchKut stencil press alphabet called "Modern Roman". There was also a second...

This is a font called Smith SIP, only available in the memorial design software Monu-Cad.

A little late on this, but if you need it again this was originally a plastic SKS letter set called Raised Modified Roman, which was bolder with thicker stems than the Modified Roman sets and like the name implies, was meant to be used for raised lettering. Cochrans monument software has a...

I've only created a couple of fonts based on pre 1920s lettering styles because of the need for so many more modern fonts, but there are quite a few in my queue. I've got some older resources to pull from, including a book from 1913 called Practical Lettering for Memorials, published by the...

Hi James, thanks for the response. Like stonecutter mentioned, there are lots of variations of the standard monument fonts, but most computer software only contain a couple of them. It always pains me to see the wrong font used for a second date inscription on someones memorial, and I'm hoping...

Illustrator to Corel and EPS I've been wondering about this as well lately, not to switch, but was wanting to make some design templates and wanted to know how well Corel deals with importing .AI files with various effects and styles applied. Also, I've always saved out my files (basic vector...

Well, yes it's my site, but it is also answering the question, no?

Monument Lettering Center Try the Monument Lettering Center. Lots of versions of Vermarco, Modified Roman, Common Gothic, etc. - with historical data and distinguishing features to help identify for matching existing inscriptions.

Headstone Fonts I know this thread is old, but for future reference the Monument Lettering Center has multiple versions of this font available in TTF and OTF, for a lot cheaper (along with a lot of other headstone fonts). This style of lettering was also historically called Round Corner Gothic...

Friz Quadrata and I believe some version of Clearface Bold.
