Quick question how additional FONTS work in Windows

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. -- best regards, Neil |

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. -- best regards, Neil |

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? |

Quick question how additional FONTS work in Windows
Am Fri, 20 Apr 2018 09:47:51 -0400, schrieb Wolf K:
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. |
