Better yet, go to college as an arts major with a focus on the graphic

That's like saying you can't boil spaghetti without going to a culinary
arts college.

You keep admonishing to "hire a professional spaghetti boiler" when all
we're doing is changing text for heaven's sake.

That level of ignorance is why you're having so much trouble. Of course,
you'll keep doing idiotic things like trying to solve your problem one
font at a time, but it is your time to waste as you wish. Have fun.

Your statement is like saying "hire a professional orange peeler" to peel
your oranges in your kitchen.

Fact is, there are no graphics (other than the pre-existing border).

You do realize that it's almost 100% text, right?

The difference between us is that I know EXACTLY what you're trying to
do, and you don't have a clue. Your preposterous analogies underscores
your ignorance of the field.

As always, nospam proves in every post:
a. He has zero technical knowledge on this subject of the thread, and,
b. He has absolutely zero helpful intent.

Hence, nospam can only troll.
Just watch.

Neil,

This is a question of how fonts work in Windows, is it not?

We added a font.
It worked.

In the thread, together, we explained HOW it worked.

What's your problem?

If by "substitute" you mean "direct Illustrator to use another font",
sure, that's possible. But Illustrator translates it into shapes. See
the post that explains why Illustrator may not like badly formatted
TrueType fonts.


Wolf,
I don't mind that you're a moron, because I never said I was an expert at
these tools, but you're trying to intimate what just is ridiculous, which
is that AI doesn't use the fonts that it clearly uses.

To whom does it "look like" X?


Wolf,
You provide zero technical value.

An AI file defines shapes. For you, the human viewer, some of those
shapes are letters. NB that an "O" could just as well be a wheel, or a
tire, or the coloured band around a lid, or whatever. An "I" could be a
post, a telephone pole, a stick, a bannister, or whatever. Etc.


Wolf,
All you can do is play your silly games.

BTW, do you know why Adobe Illustrator uses vector graphics?


BTW, Wolf, do you know why it doesn't make a bit of difference on a 12x24
inch vinyl cut sign?


Answer my question, and I'll answer yours.


Wolf,
Have you ever added a single iota of technical value to any thread, Wolf?

Well, since you're not "an expert at these tools", your opinion is
without technical value.


Wolf,
Every statement you make proves anew that you are a moron.
Really.

The question in this thread was simple - it was how fonts work.

What's different about you and me Wolf, is that I tested the suggestions,
and I loaded the fonts, and I removed the fonts, and I subsituted the
fonts, etc.

So I have empirical experience, which bore out the facts that were
unearthed in this thread.

By way of huge contrast, all you did in this thread, and in every thread,
was play your silly childish semantic games.

Okay to put this damn thread out of its misery, here is your sign in
vector curves-only PDF

Firstly, zippyshare.com is a crapware site, do not use. Had to hack the
JS to download your original PowerPoint file.

Secondly, PowerPoint DID NOT have the font embedded. I had to download
the font.

Thirdly, it too longer to compose this post than to convert your file to
a workable PDF.

Lastly, PowerPoint is for making presentations, not graphics. It sucks
as a drawing program.

You're too good to him. He won't be grateful.

You know his main aim is not to solve problems, right? That's secondary (if
it ever exists at all) to stirring up animosity on all the groups he
frequents; the very definition of a troll.

That's why he first disagrees with people's useful suggestions and then
attacks them.

Why am I not surprised? He doesn't even know how work PowerPoint properly.

Thirdly, it too longer to compose this post than to convert your file to

Ain't that the truth. I keep having to remind colleagues of that. Too many
of them use it for producing scientific posters. It's so bad that even our
new branding templates are in ai /and/ ppt formats!

Slim hope to shut him up.


I do find it humorous that these "professional" printers with Macs had
trouble fixing it. It has been my experience. I fixed the file literally
in under 5 minutes. Most of the time was finding and downloading the font!

A not uncommon creature of Usenet.

At least they should export them to PDF. If they want to cheap-out
Inkscape is free, or even LibreOffice Draw is a better option.

To be fair, in the OP with the email from the printers they did say he
didn't need to do anything and they'd fix it.

They do, but then wonder why their images look crap in A0.

I used scribus for a long time until work got adobe CC and now I use
InDesign.

Scribus is a different product, a DTP layout program akin to Quark. You
CAN do a single page graphic but it is not really the best tool.

European paper size

It's quite large and low res raster images show up badly.

For rigid format purposes like academic posters, it's ideal. I really
couldn't get on with inkscape.
