Aligning letters.
Hi all; having an issue lining up letters to create a smooth line.
Using Myriad Pro text. The letters in question are 'n' and 'h' - both lowercase. Also working in CS6.
Hopefully these pictures will explain the issue:
When viewed actual size (100x)
When viewed zoomed (400x)
So my question is: is there a way to align them perfectly? or a is this known to be impossible in illustrator? Is there a workaround?
Thanks
Bob,
Using Smart Guides, you may try to:
1) Create a copy of each letter and Type>Create Outlines,
2) Group each live and outlined letter (you may select the outline and Object>Path>Add Anchor Points),
3) Move one group by the appropriate Anchor Point (which may be the one in the middle) of the outlined letter to snap to the corresponding Anchor Point of the other outlined letter,
4) Ungroup and delete the outlined letters;
5) Zoom in and enjoy or shudder.
That may be as close as you can get.

Feature Request - Options to Size & Align Type by Cap Height
I have repeated this feature request at least a couple or more times in this forum over the years. It's a pretty fundamental, basic design thing that bears repeating until the feature is incorporated somehow.
From its first version up to now Adobe Illustrator has only sized type according to the height of the Em Square. That's the standard convention for print and doesn't really need to change for print publishing. However the Em square methods are really pretty bad in other areas. Designers need pixel-level control for creating and positioning type on electronic, pixel-based screens. For large format printing, sign design and outdoor advertising designers need to size type by cap height in units of inches, centimeters or pixels when designing for LED variable message center signs.
Adobe Illustrator currently can't even do something as simple as accurately aligning lettering vertically inside of a box. When aligning by way of the Em square the type is never correctly aligned. The fundamentals needed for this have never been present in the application. It really stinks. Designers have to employ all sorts of time-wasting work-arounds to get the type looking correct. This makes basic tasks like button creation far more of a time wasting chore than it should be.
All fonts have built-in values that establish a capital letter height in numerical terms (the units between the base line and M height line). Industry specific sign design software applications like Flexi and Gerber Omega access that font data and allow designers to accurately size, align and position type according to its capital letter height. Adobe Illustrator can and should be able to do the very same thing. Not only that, but Illustrator could let designers size, position and align type in terms of inches, centimeters and pixels.
I'm not sure how this feature should be incorporated. Perhaps it could be something that users can enable in the document setup. Or it could be an optional type palette. Nevertheless, it is a badly needed, very basic feature rooted in the core of Adobe Illustrator's vector object editing purposes.I'll also add this is a feature that should be carried over into Adobe Photoshop too.
Within Adobe Photoshop if you want to size type in terms of pixels the type is, again, sized according to the Em square. Unless you're setting type at pretty large pixel sizes the rendered type really ends up looking pretty bad. That's because the edge of the baseline and the edge of the cap height line are never aligned to the pixel grid. You end up with type that's fuzzy looking on all sides. If designers were able to tell Photoshop "make this lettering 20 pixels tall according to the capital letters" the lettering would looking a whole lot better. Perfectly crisp edges on the base lines and cap height lines. -
Anybody with complaints about Vista/Outlook showing screwy?
My client loves the website I designed for her- at home.
At work she is running Vista with MicroSoft Outlook and she says it looks crazy. Screwy spacing, out of alignment, letters too big and adding extra lines. The weird thing is that she printed the pages and they are fine!
Now I checked this website this morning on Mozilla, Safari, Internet Explorer, Netscape on two computers - both Macs--and they all looked great.
She says "Home page has a big gap (3 inches) between quote on top and second paragraph."
http://www.barnlivin.com/
And on Services page - last words of bulleted sentences she says are aligned way on the left.
http://www.barnlivin.com/services.html
I'm not seeing any of this. Is it her work computer? Or how do I fix this for her?
Opinions cheerfully accepted,
Alley CatHello
It is doing that also in IE 5 on a Mac and in IE 7 on my Mac VirtualPC.
You'll need to layout your tables/cells or your images on the left side differently to get it to work with a tables layout. you could try putting all the images in one left cell & all word in one right cell or some other combination. -
here's an example of a paragraph i've taken from wikipedia:
if you can see, in the paragraph aligned with the button "Justify with the last line aligned left" - the one above, i've marked with red lines the places in which a gap occurs all of a sudden, and i cannot undo them.
for the same paragraph below i used the simple "Align left" button.
can anyone please help me understand what has happened that made those gaps occur.
i use Adobe Design Standard CS 6 Middle East Version. this bug occurs in other font/languages as well.Thank you for providing the sample IDML file.
I still think it could be the used paragraph composer, maybe in conjunction with the used font. I'd change the composer to see, if the problem will go away.
@Willi – you are right, the story direction is RTL, but the paragraph direction is LTR. That's no surprise here since the ME version of InDesign was used.
I would change story direction to LTR, use the "normal" paragraph composer instead the global one.
Since the used font is not available to me, a substituted font is not showing the problem.
But that may mean nothing. I do not use the ME version of InDesign…

How to turn off the Stretch Alignment feature?
Hi, I am just learning how to use the text formatting options and have been experimenting but for some reason any new text box I create now and type something, the Stretch Alignment is on and stretching everything I type. How do I turn that off?
Thanks!There is no "stretch alignment" option for text, so I'll assume you mean either justified alignment or horizontal scaling.
If you're getting big gaps between words, change your alilgnment from "Justified" to "Left"
If letters themselves are getting stretched, make sure horizontal alignment is set to 100% and nothing higher.
If these are both set correctly and the words themsleves are getting stretched, you may have scaled the text block itself using the Scale tool. Easiest thing to do is delete the text block and add the text into a newly created text block.
Avoid scaling any text blocks with the Scale tools as this will also distort the text. If you just need to make the text block larger or smaller, use the Pointer tool, and drag any one of the four control points of the selected text object.

Superimposed letters when printing
Hi,
When printing, some lines come written with double letter effect: For example, the word "is: comes written like iiss. The letters are so close that are almost on top of each other. Some times they are so close the word looks like is written in bold letters. This does not happen to all of the text on the page, but to many parts of it. Some time it is just a phrase or two in one line, sometimes, is a whole sentence, sometimes the whole line or more is written like that. In a full page, about 3/4 of it comes like that. It looks like h---
The problem happens whether I print a word document or a web page.
I've checked Google, Microsoft forums, and Cannon forums for an answer, but can't find anything that helps.
I went to Properties and did almost everything in Maintenance: Cleaning, Head alignment, Nozzle check, Bottom plate cleaning, Alignment, Tried manual alignment in Custom Settings. I even tried cleaning inside the printer,and behind the ink cartridges with a q tip. Nothing helps.
The printing or the columns when checking the Head Alignment were not straight. After doing the alignment, they appeared straighter, but not completely straight after printing again. But I don't know how they are supposed to look like.
In Word, I tried double checking my page set up, and also double checked my format and style settings. All was fine there.
My printer is only about 4 months old. It is Pixma MX432. I have Windows XP and IE 8 in my desktop, and Windows 8 and IE 10 in my laptop, but printing is the same no matter what computer I use. I have been sharing this printer with this 2 computer since I got it, and never had any problems until these last couple of weeks.
Any suggestions anybody?
Thanks, EHello Edimerq.

Vertical Alignment in Word 2007 Avery Label 5366
I am having trouble getting my text to center vertically within the label area. I have already set the alignment to center and the line spacing befor and after are set to 0. I am still getting a "SHIFT" of the text towards the bottom of the label
area. I have even tried setting alignment to top and then increasing the spacing to get the letters centered. Using ARIAL BLACK I am trying to fit a size 48 letter and get it centered. I am printing the alphabet so the word size is not an issue. The result
is a large white space over the letters with the bottom legs of the cap A getting chopped by the label border.
http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w545/DjTrex24/Word2007_LabelAlignment_zps83d28960.jpgI trying my hard to search for the answer of the question exactly the same as you. It took me several days, but finally I got an answer.
You can use centerVertically property of group, set this property to "true" will centrally align the control in the group.
For example
<group id="g1" label="Group1" autoScale="false"
centerVertically="true">
<box id="box1" boxStyle="horizontal">
<control idQ="NavigationPaneFind" visible="true" size="small"/>
<control idQ="FileSendAsAttachment" visible="true" size="small"/>
</box>
<box id="box2" boxStyle="horizontal">
<control idQ="FormatPainter" visible="true" size="small"/>
<control idQ="Cut" visible="true" size="small"/>
</box>
</group> -
Problems Aligning Text in Headers and Footers
I have tried to add headers and footers to documents and the alignment is wrong. The center footer/header should be center-aligned and the right header/footer should be right-aligned. Unfortunately, they are both left-aligned.
The preview shows the headers and footers aligned correctly, but when the headers/footers are inserted in the document, the alignment reverts to left aligned, although it is centered and on the right side of the page, as appropriate.
This is not a problem in Acrobat 7.
Please advise if this is a bug and is awaiting an update, or if there is something that I need to do to fix this problem.
This is a screen shot of the preview windowindicating the proper alignment as indicated in the ovals:
Here is the actual document once the header and footer are added. Notice how the alignment switches to flush left:
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks.
- JamesNope. The good folks at Adobe have neither addressed this issue (and I have
heard from others that it is a problem for them as well) nor have they been
very good about maintaining my account to be able to log in and follow up on
it.
The truth of the matter is that it appears to be a glitch in some, but not
all, versions of this product and clearly it is not a big enough problem for
them to want to fix it.
I wind up using Acrobat 7 when I need properly formatted headers and footers
or and this ought to get the attention of the folks at Adobe and maybe
prompt someone (anyone!) to take a look and fix this glitch you should
check out PDFPen. It does much of what Adobe can do including headers and
footers.
If I didn't already have Acrobat 7 (and 8 and now 9), I would ditch Acrobat
and just use Preview or PDFPen.

Anybody ever solve this problem? I just started using(trying too, that is)
Acrobat Pro for writing letters and starting at the top I ran right into
this problem. Seems like a deal killer. -
Stroked type in ID not aligning w/stroke in PDF
I have a weird situation, and I'm thinking it's related to the particular font, not anything in InDesign, per se.
I have some black type with a tiny (.05pt) stroke applied in ID (CS5.5). Everything looks fine on screen. However when I export a PDF, the type doesn't align with the strokes — it's as if different kerning/tracking has been applied to the type, but not the strokes. It's not all the type, and not on every line, but most of it has this "ghosting" or "halo" look to it when you zoom in to the PDF.
We've run similar type treatments in different fonts, and this didn't happen. I've tried a variety of PDF export settings (Press Quality, PDF/X-4, 1a) even exporting to IDML and bringing it into CS4. I'm not changing the fonts to outlines (I've read threads about how outlined text w/strokes caused issues) and there is no transparency. (As a test, I did try Isolate Blending and flattening, but that rastered all the type into jaggy bitmaps.)
There's also something I haven't normally seen (because I don't normally look) but it looks like the font is listed twice in the Fonts list in the Document settings — once ansi encoded and once again with Custom encoding.
This is what makes me think it's the font.This is how it appears in Acrobat X:
The font is Cochin LT Std (OT) Roman. This is how it's listed as an embedded font in the PDF:
For what it's worth, because it may be related, I've seen weirdness with some fonts when rendered in a PDF before. Sometimes it appears if the type is improperly kerned. (We started seeing that, rarely, when we moved to CS5 from 4 and started using PDF/X-4 instead of 1a.) I've actually seen it on occasion where the letters transpose, as if there were negative kerning amounts in the hundreds applied, the letters appearing on top of each other and in different order. (CS2 & 3)
All these instances look as they should in InDesign, but the aberrations appear in the PDF (typically viewed in Acrobat, but also visible in Illustrator and Preview).
Further testing suggests that the stroke and type are rendered independently of each other. If I open the PDF in Illustrator, I need the font installed for the type to render properly. However if I turn the font off, the type is rendered in a substitute font but the strokes are not — they are still rendered as outlines in the shape of the original glyphs. -
a gap between letters started to show in my indesign files. tried to undo with tracking, then with the paragraph settings. nothing helped. it ruins the fluent view of the document. how can i restore the program so that doesn't happen?
for example: say i write a paragraph. then, in a weird some sort of way an involuntary gap suddenly appears between different letters of random words(i did not recognize any pattern to the gap appearing) throughout the entire paragraph. once i've double clicked on that paragraph, and made a minor change, lets say tapped a 'space' key, and then clicked ctrl+z to undo, it has aligned(or fixed) the entire paragraph and made it look ok again. i've tried numerous ways to undo the entire thing, but cannot find the reason. i've been working for a few years and there's no reason why this thing all of a sudden should happen right now.
if anyone has stumbled on something like that and can advise, i would welcome it.

Alignment Grids for Titler in PrE & PrPro
There have been several discussions on the lack of real alignment tools in Titler, for both PrE and PrPro. I use a workaround to this, and just Import a "grid" image, created in PS and Saved to .PSD with Transparency. I use the same technique to build layouts for PiP and similar.
One just Imports the .PSD into their NLE (Non Linear Editing) program, as a still, or as Footage in PrPro. The .PSD is then placed on the Timeline in a Video Track above any other Clips. The Title is then placed above the .PSD. In PrE, one sees the Video below the Title automatically. In PrPro there is a checkbox to do this.
The grid in the .PSD is used for alignment of the elements/text in the Title.
Be sure to remove the grid, when you are done, or in PrPro, you can turn off visibility for its Video Track. Otherwise, you WILL Export the grid, and that is not what you will likely want to do. Do not forget to disable this .PSD, before the Export.
Attached are an NTSC 16:9 .PSD and an NTSC 4:3 .PSD, with proper PAR for each.
Hope that this helps someone, where they need better alignment in Titler in either PrE, or PrPro.
HuntHi
I tested the grid idea...works well. I ended up layering stills with transparency to see the grid and line up ...I did a test title page and stills in the same psd file...and I didn't create an overall background image...but left the screen black (black video) in premiere...can do background image later...this was first time doing a layered psd to premiere...
I found the grid (especially with the various "weights" of letters in different fonts ( like the letter T or the letter O ) need to be shifted a bit for balance and the grid helps a lot with that, as well as the horizontal postition of the images. For some reason the images appear to go into layer OK vertically (centered at least, and can adjust from there depending again on "weight" issue), but horizontally they are off a bit (not centered exactly) all the time.
At any rate, I can see how the grid helps to get a reference for lining things up...so thanks for uploading that and sharing it.
I ended up using the eyeball and transparency a lot in psd, finally turning everything on and opaque before saving for import to premiere, and when in premiere I did what you suggested..put the grid on top video channel and it worked well.

ps. I'm finding it fun to do my own cross dissolves...so they aren't all the same exactly. Takes time though...so I can see big benefit to just using preset with a lot of images to deal with. -
HP PSC 2355 all-in-one printer cuts off bottoms of letters
My HP PSC 2355 All-In-One Printer cuts off the bottoms of letters. Photos are fine. 3rd HP black cartrige, got worse today.
On a Mac, 10.9.3.Hi @timed
I would like to help you with your 2355 printer. A printer reset can initiate an alignment. Please use the following document to troubleshoot the issue, and let me know the outcome of your efforts; Troubleshooting Print Quality Problems with the Diagnostic Page.
If the issue remains unresolved after following all of the steps in the link above, I recommend contacting HP.
Don't hesitate to call, although the printer may be out of warranty, the cartridges could be in warranty; therefore, there wouldn't likely be a fee for the phone support. HP will, at HP's option, either replace products under warranty that prove to be defective or refund the purchase price.
They could even determine after troubleshooting that it is a problem with the printer, in which case they may offer you a discount on a newer model.
The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
To find the “Warranty Ends” date, look in the following table for the date's location on each product. The date follows the YYYY/MM/DD or YYYY/MM format, where YYYY indicates the year, MM indicates the month, and DD indicates the day.
I hope this helps.
Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.

MenuBar Component - Aligning Menu Left
Hello all,
I have a quick question. Is it possible to set the menubar
component so that it's submenu is configured to display to the left
( if it was on the far left of the screen)?
Currently I have it placed on the left side of the screen,
with text aligned to right. The following problems occur :
The arrows that are displayed when a menu has children is on
the right, is it possible to align it left?
The 2nd/3d level submenus open on TOP of their parent menu,
instead of to the left, like I would like them to.
Is there a sort of static property or something that I'm not
finding that is made to align the entire menu to the right?
