Can I make my own Fonts?

I'm wanting a truly unique marketing approach for my band. I've picked up a Wacom Bamboo and have Leopard with the Inkwell feature that let's me write in Pages for band flyers, etc.
But what I'm wanting to do is to create my own "A,B,C, 1,2,3" Font that has the bands' look to use in any iWork application - especially Mail. I just want to know if it's possible and if anyone out there knows how to do this and then import it into the Font Library for use. Thanks all in advance, I'm not sure if this was the correct forum but I did get the idea from wanting to use my own Fonts in Pages projects.

"But making fonts is not very easy, and custom fonts are pretty useless for mail or web pages, unless you turn your text into graphics, because people at the other end will not see your font unless they can get and install it on their own machine."
Apple Safari 3 is able to display the intended SFNT Spline Font file - Apple TrueType 1, Apple TrueType 2, Microsoft OpenType.
The SFNT Spline Font file format is divided into a primary and a secondary mapping. The primary mapping is supported by the CMAP Character Map tag (with one or more tables).
The primary mapping is a 1:1 automatic mapping from character codes to default glyph codes, which is insufficient for formal typography in the Latin script.
Therefore, secondary mapping from default glyph codes to glyph codes for alternate stylistics is included in extensions to the SFNT Spline Font file format, version 1.0, 1990.
Apple's extensions are assembled in the MORT Metamorphosis table and Microsoft's extensions are assembled in the GSUB Glyph Substitution table.
Apple Safari 3 should support simple line layout available through the CMAP Character Map table common to all three flavours of the SFNT Spline Font file format.
Caveat: At this point I have not had time to test the reported feature.
There are two type design tools today, Fontographer which has been the mainstay of type design on the Macintosh for many years, and the newer FontLab which is the first type design tool to implement the Apple TrueType spline programming language natively.
Best,
Henrik

How can you make your OWN text slides on imovie

What i mean by this is, is there any other way to make text slides in imovie other than the options they already give you? I want to make my own, i'm not a fan of the ones they give

You can use Keynote and then use in imovie.
The trick is to Share from Keynote as a QuickTime movie. Use Timed Advance, not Manual Advance.
If you are using Green Screen, make a gradient background of two similar shades of green.
Here is a "green screen" example.

Can't use my own font due to license restriction?

I created my own font ("GoudyMusic") using fontlab.com | TypeTool3. When I try to 'print' to a pdf using Adobe PDF, I get:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: GoudyMusic cannot be embedded because of licensing restrictions. ]%%
%%[ Font vendor (Macromedia) does not permit this font to be embedded in PDF. ]%%
[Warning] The font GoudyMusic could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions.
Text may display incorrectly on platforms that do not have this font installed.
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: show; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets º %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Help help!
THANX!
william zeitler

Apparently fontlab.com's TypeTool3 does not allow you to set licensing, and it defaults to 'not-embeddable'.
You have to upgrade to Fontographer (another $300) to be able to set the licensing. Now that I've done that, it works.

How Do you Make your Own Font so you Can Use It in Preview

Hi. I'm filling up a form that needs my signature. I can't annotate my signature (because it doesn't annotate graphics) in a PDF using Preview. I plan to just create a font of my signature so I can annotate my signature as text ( I just key in letter A and my whole signature would be that key). Thanks in advance.

How can I make my own changeListener?

Hello,
I have this component - A clas Spin that has 3 spinners:
package component;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.JSpinner;
import java.awt.Dimension;
public class Spin extends JPanel {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     private JSpinner js1 = null;
     private JSpinner js2 = null;
     private JSpinner js3 = null;
      * This is the default constructor
     public Spin() {
          super();
          initialize();
      * This method initializes this
      * @return void
     private void initialize() {
          this.setSize(150, 20);
          this.setLayout(new BoxLayout(this, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));
          this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(getSize().width, getSize().height));
          this.add(getJs1(), null);
          this.add(getJs2(), null);
          this.add(getJs3(), null);
     public JSpinner getJs1() {
          if(js1==null) {
               js1= new JSpinner();
          return js1;
     public JSpinner getJs2() {
          if(js2==null) {
               js2= new JSpinner();
          return js2;
     public JSpinner getJs3() {
          if(js3==null) {
               js3= new JSpinner();
          return js3;
     public String getValue() {
          return js1.getValue()+":"+js2.getValue()+":"+js3.getValue();
}So if I want to catch a change of one of these 3 spinners I just need to do this:
js1.addChangeListener(new javax.swing.event.ChangeListener() {
                    public void stateChanged(javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent e) {
                         System.out.println("stateChanged()"); // TODO Auto-generated Event stub stateChanged()
js2.addChangeListener(new javax.swing.event.ChangeListener() {
                    public void stateChanged(javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent e) {
                         System.out.println("stateChanged()"); // TODO Auto-generated Event stub stateChanged()
js3.addChangeListener(new javax.swing.event.ChangeListener() {
                    public void stateChanged(javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent e) {
                         System.out.println("stateChanged()"); // TODO Auto-generated Event stub stateChanged()
But I DONT need this above, I need this:
Spin mySpin = new Spin();
mySpin.addChangeListener(new javax.swing.event.ChangeListener() {
                    public void stateChanged(javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent e) {
                         Spin s = (Spin)e.getSource();
                         System.out.println(s.getValue()); // TODO Auto-generated Event stub stateChanged()
               });What all I need to do that my spinner "Spin" can have its OWN changeListener so everytime I change ONE of these 3 spinners(doesnt matter which one) that MY changeListener can catch it and execute what ever I to.
I hope that it make sense what just asked..
Thanks for any ides.

Oh sorry about that, I misunderstood your question. I think I see now what you need to do. First create your own custom event class:
public class SpinChangeEvent {
     private Spin source = null;
     private Object value = null;
     public SpinChangeEvent(Spin source, Object value) {
          this.source = source;
          this.value = value;
     public Spin getSource() { return source; }
     public Object getValue() { return value; }
}Then create your own SpinChangeListener interface:
public interface SpinChangeListener {
     public void stateChanged(SpinChangeEvent ev);
}In your Spin class, maintain a list of SpinChangeListeners that will be notified of changes, and add regular javax.swing.event.ChangeListeners to your JSpinners to do the notification:
private ArrayList<SpinChangeListener> listeners = new ArrayList<SpinChangeListener>();
     private void initialize() {
          // Do other init stuff, then this:
          javax.swing.event.ChangeListener lis = new javax.swing.event.ChangeListener() {
               public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
                    doSpinnerChanged();
          js1.addChangeListener(lis);
          js2.addChangeListener(lis);
          js3.addChangeListener(lis);
     // This gets called by each spinner when it changes.
     private void doSpinnerChanged() {
          // Create a new SpinChangeEvent and notify all the listeners.
          SpinChangeEvent event = new SpinChangeEvent(this, getValue());
          for (SpinChangeListener listener : listeners) {
               listener.stateChanged(event);
     // These are for outside classes to register themselves as listeners for SpinChangeEvents:
     public void addSpinChangeListener(SpinChangeListener lis) { listeners.add(lis); }
     public void removeSpinChangeListener(SpinChangeListener lis) { listeners.remove(lis); }Then whatever class uses the Spin object can register itself as a SpinChangeListener like this:
          spin.addSpinChangeListener(new SpinChangeListener() {
               public void stateChanged(SpinChangeEvent ev) {
                    Spin source = ev.getSource();
                    System.out.println(ev.getValue());
          });Output after several spinner changes is:
1:0:0
1:1:0
1:1:1
1:1:2
1:1:3
1:0:3

How can I make my own form without a wizard

Hello,
I already created Tabular Forms using the wizard and everything worked. But now I have different requirements on my from. I need some radio buttons and some option buttons (which values come from different tables) and some normal number fields. So I can't no longer use the tabular forms.
I created a table which can save all the information I want to provide by the form. This table has a primary key populated by a sequence I created too. Then I created a page which looks like a questionnaire I got before to design this form.
I added another hidden item (*ID*), which should be filled by my sequence and a button which should do the insert statement.
But I couldn't find out how to do. I looked a the processes which a made when I use the wizard but I'm not sure what they do actually.
My question is, how is it possible to have the hidden item filled with the next primary key of my table and then how do put all the item values of the form in an insert statement? I there maybe a better way to acchieve my goals?
Regards
Felix

If you created your sequence with a trigger (usually APEX creates these together for you) then there is no need to have the next ID number, when you do your insert it will automatically fill this in for you. The trigger will see that you're trying to insert null for the ID and instead replace it with the next number in the sequence.
As for having all your items in an insert statement, you can do this in two ways. One being to create up a DML page process to handle the insert/update/delete statements. You will also need an on load row fetch process to load data onto your form. Make sure your page items are set to Source Type Database Column with the column names in the Source Value field.
The other option is to create custom page processes to do these for you - for example, one process for inserting, one for updating, one for deleting, one for displaying data, and then you can set the condition of each process to only run if a certain button is clicked. This is useful if you have more code to run with each button click.

How can i make my own app?

I would like to make an app for my small business, not to sell to the public. Our sales people (only 4 of them) have iPads and I would like to make a catalog of our products into an app so it's easier to sync and use for the sales team. I've found several online companies that will help me but not sure who to go with or the best option...or if there's something I've overlooked. I've tried Dropbox and Goodreader and while that works...an app to me sounds better. The catalog would consist of pictures, product descriptions, some video.
Thanks!

You could start out with Apple's iWork apps like Pages for word processing and Numbers for spreadsheets (or something similar from the App Store). These apps allow you to embed photos and videos, or links to your own YouTube videos. And you could use iCloud or DropBox for sharing and collaboration between your teammates.
Experimenting with these off-the-shelf apps may give you some ideas for custom solutions that better meet your business needs. Good luck!

How can I make my own design for a web page instead of using a template?

Need to ask the question again. I tried using the blank template, but could not get it to work. I could not insert images and copy where I wanted and in size I wanted.

rapcom wrote:
A general question: Is it possible to change the dimensions of the web page? Or even its positioning as a horizontal or vertical format?
Yes — it's done via iWeb Inspector's Page tab (the second one at the top), editing the values in the +Page Size+ fields. After entering a new value, click the Return key to make it take effect...
..By the way, the above image is taken from a tutorial ~ click on the image above to read the tutorial.
rapcom wrote:
I also would prefer to edit the copy on the blank web page, and cannot do that either. Is it possible to do so?
Yes, it's possible. But it's difficult to know what exact difficulty you're having, and I perhaps risk stating the obvious... One thing to be aware of is that clicking once inside a text box will simply select that box (you'll see eight +"grab handles"+ for re-sizing). But to edit the text inside, you need to click once more. Experiment with clicking inside and outside text boxes and you'll learn.
And iWeb's Help menu has several resources ~ the Help viewer, a +Getting Started+ PDF and a link to ten video tutorials. One of the videos briefly demonstrates adding a text box towards the end; click here...
If after the above you still need help, post back with step-by-step details of the problem.
