Is there a way to see what font was used originally, after the type has been converted to outlines?

Hi all, I would really like to know if there is any way to find out what font was used originally in an Illustrator document, after the type has been converted to outlines? The reason for this is I need to update some wording in a couple of old logos I had made and I have NO idea what font I had used...for the life of me I just cannot remember. Because this was so urgent for one of my projects I had to do a search online via "WhatTheFont" to see what font it could be (which I then didn't seem to have in my library!), and repurchase it. I am 99% sure I HAVE the font - or something VERY close - but under a different name.
Normally I keep a much better record of fonts used but there have been times occasionally in the past when I have done something in a hurry and changed the type to outlines without keeping the original, or keeping detailed notes at least. The fact that I did NOT keep notes on a few projects I have done in the past has made me want to kick myself because now I need to revisit one of those again..grrr:)
Can anyone offer any advice? I appreciate your help as always:)
best,
Christine

  • After installing 8.2 on my iPad all the apps crash during use. It appears that the iPad saves a version of what I was using because after the app crashes I double press the home button an there is a screen of an older version of the page I was using.

    After installing 8.2 on my iPad (2nd gen) all the apps crash during use. It appears that the iPad saves a version of what I was using because after the app crashes I double press the home button an there is a screen of an older version of the page I was using. I swipe it away and start over, only to have the same thing happen again. I have reinstalled all the apps, rebooted, synced and re-synced with iTunes. This is VERY irritating!

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • Is there a way to "see" what font you're using?

    Hi,
    I'm a bit new to PAGES. I thought when you turn "Show Invisibles" you would see things like what font you're using . . . if it's bold or underlined or italicized - things like that - you would see these characteristics in the body of the document. So if I were writing a paragraph and changed the font in the middle of it, I could actually "see" a symbol indicating the font had been changed. That way, if you wanted to change it back, you could just delete that "invisible" symbol, and change it.
    WORD seems to work like that. Is there a way to "see" these symbold in PAGES?
    Thanks,
    Larry

    Thank you, Barry. At least you've confirmed what I thought
    Interesting that WORD (which I hate) does such a nice job in this area. When you want to "see" invisible symbols - WORD shows them all to you. I thought it was nice to see exactly 'where' in the document a different font or style might start - that way you can eliminate it there - or change it there - etc. But PAGES, won't even show you. Wonder why they only show you 'some' invisible files?
    Thanks, though, for your reply.

    Hi All, I have two questions. First of all my CS3 is saying that it is installed on more than one machine, is there a way of seeing what machines my serial number is registered to? If i want to buy another CS3 serial number how do i go about it? I cannot afford to move to the creative cloud.....

    there's no way for you to identify which machines have or had cs3 activated, and you can no longer purchase a cs3 license from adobe.
    you can request an activation count reset (Contact Customer Care) and deactivate your cs3 on all your computers.  you can then install and activate on up to two computers.

  • I'm wondering is there any way to see what tool is selected in full screen mode?

    Question: Is there any way to see what tool is selected in professional full screen mode when tools and windows are hidden?
    Here's an example what i mean..i made a sketch
    So what i mean is for example you are in full screen mode, and you press "U" to activate Rectangle Tool >>> you see like pop-up or anything similar that shows you what tool is selected.
    Thank you!

    you need iPhoto v9.2 or Aperture 3.2 to view the stream on your Mac.

  • I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project in iphoto. Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project/photos from iphoto.
    Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    No.  Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days.  Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.
    Even though the horse is out of the barn the following tutorial might be of help for future books, i.e. create a new library for each book): iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

  • What can I do about an HTC One camera having a problem with a frozen display? I can take pictures but I can't see what I'm shooting until after the picture is taken.

    I can take pictures but I can't see what I'm shooting until after the picture is taken.  I've already had to do one hard reset which deletes all my data.  Is there any other solution?  Is it a glitch that would be resolved by getting a different phone?

        Thanks for the additional information AliciaG.! Let's test your camera in Safe Mode, follow the steps at this link http://vz.to/1mjT7T2 to restart your phone in Safe Mode. Keep us posted.
