Didn't there used to be an outline font?

Or am I crazy?
If there wasn't, where is a safe place to download a few?
Thank you!

Not sure there was one, but you could try http://www.fontsquirrel.com.
It's worth reading through their FAQ page to get an idea of how to navigate their site, and what use the font is licenced for (desktop/webfont/ebook, etc). Used them a couple of time to get me out of a hole.

Am I just crazy? Didn't there used to be a color picker?

So, as far as I can remember, there was a tool in Leopard that let you hover over any color in any application and find it's code to replicate it... I thought it was called Color Picker and looked like a little eyedropper with a color wheel behind it.
Now, I can't find it. I'm wracking my brain to locate it, but I can't.
My main objective is to get a color I saw on a website into Photoshop, but since I can't find OS X's built-in color utility to get the hex code, I can't get it right in my graphic.
Any suggestions on locating the Color Picker? Or on how to import colors from websites to my Photoshop swatches?

I hope I wasn't one of the smarmy ones . . .
I really thought you just weren't seeing it.
When a user moves an app out of the place the system
expects to see it, it will ignore it.
In the past, a lot of users wanted to group all their browsers into one
folder they made themselves, called, "Internet apps." So Safari, Camino, FF, etc.
all went in that folder. When doing updates, the apps were not found free standing in the application folder, and they were ignored, i.e., never updated.
So the explanation you got makes sense to me.
EDIT: Maybe if you use it a lot, make an alias for it in the Dock where you can easily access it.

Do you have to outline fonts - PDF

Hi all,
I normally outline my fonts to avoid any hassles but I have created a design that has very thin type and when I outline it makes it too fat - bleh!
So I would like to know if it is ok just to save as a PDF WITHOUT outlining the fonts if you are sending a file off to magazine, newspaper, printer and that they will not have a problem with missing fonts etc.
Thanks!

Live fonts do contain hinting which is sent to the RIP. Outlines don't contain any hinting. Hinting is exceptionally helpful at smaller type sizes. Outlines are really not the same as live type.
Every glyph in a font is a drawn character. Hinting smoothes display appearance. It could play a role in a RIP for a digital press, which relies on composite output and no separate plates for each ink. These devices treat fonts differently from dumb art, to compensate for a lower resolution output.
Let's assume that hinting for a particular glyph alters the shape of the glyph at different type sizes. To test, put the glyph on the artboard at 100 pt, and again at 2 pt. Duplicate the glyphs to a layer on top and outline. Verify that the shape of the outlines match the live font (coloring the outline something different helps).
To see if hinting affects the shape,the small shape must be enlarged proportionally to the larger glyph size, or the larger glyph shrunk proportionally to the smaller size.
Doing this, you may find that the two shapes match, or perhaps they don't. But it doesn't matter either way. When you outline fonts on output, the font doesn't get outlined, then resized - it just gets outlined. And the outline should be true to the vector shape of the glyph, no matter what the size is.
There are many arguments for and against outlining fonts. Here are both perspectives:
Advantages of live fonts in PDF output:
1. The PDF looks worlds better on screen. This is an extremely important point. The live font looking proper means less questions and concerns, less banter is time saved.
2. The font being in the PDF means that changes to the PDF are possible. Many printers prefer the fonts to be embedded whole instead of subset, and certainly not outlined. This can be a time saver. It can come down to the printer having to do one of three things - make a simple text change, try to match an outlined font to make the change, or wait on a new file. If the printer has the embedded font, the job can go to press faster.
3. File size of PDF is smaller, making file transfer faster. It can be the difference between email or FTP in some cases.
4. If something goes awry with the font in output, a simple preflight of the PDF can detect the problem. If the fonts are all outlined, you can't preflight the fonts, there aren't any - you have to hope Illy did a good job making the outlines.
5. If the designer chooses to outline the native art, he has to save a duplicate copy. If he uses the flattener to outline fonts, he's increasing his output time. Preserving live text, you avoid these issues.
Advantages of outlined fonts in PDF output:
1. Fonts are the bane of the printing industry. There are thousands upon thousands of fonts, some are good quality, some are garbage. There are many varieties of font formats. Together this adds up to a LOT of variables, and a lot of different ways text can get hosed. When you outline, the font variable is eliminated in one fell swoop.
2. Some people - printers and designers alike - subscribe to the "bullet proof PDF" solution. Such a PDF is one that is completely normalized. It goes well beyond flattening transparency, or RGB and Spot – CMYK. It includes what AI calls expansion of art. All text is outlined. All strokes become fills. Any effects, patterns and symbols are converted to dumb art. Sometimes even gradients and blends are converted into images. Overprints can also be flattened (although AI cannot do this). The result is a PDF which is a complete mess from an editing standpoint, but less likely to wig out a RIP.
3. Even if the designer does not outline, there is a good chance the printer will. He will probably not do it in Illustrator, more than likely text outlining would be an automated part of a separate workflow system. For example in the packaging industry, PDF files are often imported into Art Pro, with vectorize text enabled. So in that case, a designer who outlines his text beforehand might be choosing Illustrator's outline capability, instead of relying on the printer's outline capability.
4. If the printer uses a vector trapping engine, any traps around text will be vector art, not fonts. Sometimes fonts mixed with vector traps can be problematic. Again if the printer feels like fonts are an issue, he's probably outlining the text before trapping.
5. File integrity is an issue for some designers. Maybe they're afraid that a competing designer might snag a PDF. If the fonts are all outlined, figuring out the fonts is certainly possible, but it's harder than simply pulling up the font list in Acrobat.
6. Some printers demand PDFs with all transparency flattened. If live fonts are retained in flattened PDFs, you can end up with live glyphs that are clipping masks for images. Such a configuration is similar to a live font in Photoshop output. Anyone who deals with fonts in Photoshop output knows that the construction is pretty hopeless (Photoshop can't even embed a complete font). It is best not to have live text playing the role of a clipping mask for contone data.
Anyway, there are two sides to the argument. One thing is certain – whether the text gets outlined or not – once it's RIPped, it's nothing but pixels. A live glyph vs. a vector shape should end up having the same pixel configuration on the plate.

DATAIMPORTBIN is not working if there is a change in Outline

Hi,
I am expoting data from one application in BIN format using below statement:
DATAEXPORT "Binfile" "E:\Data\ExportTest.bin" ;
which is exporting data correctly.
Now when I try to Import this file in another application using DATAIMPORTBIN command, numbers are getting imported if there is no difference in outline structure, but if there is a difference in outline (even a change in property like datastorage) numbers are not getting imported (but not getting any error msg or rejects during import).
I used below commands to import data :
SET DATAIMPORTIGNORETIMESTAMP ON; /* To ignore Outline timestamp check*/
DATAIMPORTBIN "E:\Data\ExportTest.bin";
Please let me know if anyone knows the solution for the same.
Thanks in Advance,
AB

Obviously the code you posted can not work.
You are inserting the detail record (the audit record) before the master record, where it should have been after. IMO, you should fire the trigger AFTER INSERT for each row.
If that still doesn't work, you need to change the foreign key constraint into a deferred constraint, which is evaluated at commit, instead of immediately. The SQL reference manual has further info on this.

CS6 how to use gradient Tool for outline

Hi!
I am a graphic designer I like to work hand and not numbers. The new version of Ai CS6 gradients can be given for strokes. Great!
Please help me how exactly I can do it with a convenient tool 'Gradient Tool'?
Does not respond to changes in drag when I try to use the mouse to outline?
In advertising and instructions CS6 somehow strange is described ... I do not understand.
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/gradient-panel-gradient-tool-overview.html
Regards!

@Ivan David: Thank you for your response. I asked for something else. How to use the "Gradient Tool" no gradient palete. Why are chceck "ON" you own answer as helpful?
As I explained I am a graphic designer will create a hands than numbers. I do not understand why no tool "gradient tool" works to fill but it does not work on outline.
If I get a chance to show off with a representative of Adobe's a bit like crying...
We need fair and real changes. According to me the most to do is to think about using Illustrator for themselves of their creators Illustrator.
* For example in work with new gradient tool.
- Why when you edit the gradient for the outline of the object is displayed slider gradient fill???. It's confusing and totally unnecessary.
- Why is the Gradient Tool Outline tool does not work???
- Why Control bar does not drop the Gradient icon??? What is the control bar when no controls? Control Bar cool idea but how would the developers were thinking of him as a stranger?
- Why still the option of working with the gradient tool to fill, when you edit a color marker, I can not turn on the Eyedropper tool to select a color from another object???
- Why does the apperance in the attributes panel stoke attribute does not appear easy gradient of a potential of gradient palette???
- Why can not I fast copy between objects only attribute gradient???
After all, it's easy and does not require a great job developers reach a solution to the function. I know that my naive questions now, and nobody I will not answer to them but sorrow grows. Sometimes I feel like a fly in pitch.
This is not normal.
So many years have passed, there was a lot of new tools but Adobe wants to use the same techniques as in his first product. Refresh in the new 64 bit version is also not so different to that in compared to regular equipment and are currently using...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3TDmvZma84
Sorry for the harsh words of criticism, But your answer is a perfect example that Adobe does not know what's going to people who work with Illustrator on a daily basis and as can be seen starting to irritate me tight.
Perhaps I have exaggerated expectations about the tools Adobe. I understand that there is so much work and needs, but I lack only a change of thinking about working with tools in Illustartor and reducing unnecessary clicks. Now, instead of tools to work with each other often exclusive and force running around.
Regards!

There is problem loading the outline into the memory, error # 1,250,005

Hello,
I am getting error message when opening ASO outline on edit mode in EAS 7.1.5 version. EAS server using weblogic and MYSql.
Error Message:
There is problem loading the outline into the memory, error # 1,250,005.
Please let me know if any have experienced same issue or any suggestions.
Regards,
DS

That error is documented as:
##1250005 Error [%s] Creating Environment For Outline Paging File: %s
It sounds like it may be an issue with your temp directories (disk space?) as I believe it is going to copy the outline to a temp directory locally before opening it. That is where I would start looking..

In latest version of MF there`s missing button, which was in previous version: between buttons back/forward and the typing bar there used to be little flash, which showed few last pages I have just browsed. How can I restore it?

If you mean the drop marker then you can still get the History of the Back and Forward buttons if any by either Left-Click and hold for a second or by Right-Clicking them.
If you still want the drop mark there also then there is this Extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/

In I06, I have no way of knowing which songs are on my iphone 4s vs being stored in the cloud. There used to be a small cloud next to songs that were not downloaded. This was important to make sure I had the music I wanted when in an airplane.

In the new i06 that I just loaded into my 4s, I have no way of knowing which songs are on my iphone vs stored in the cloud. There used to be a small cloud next to songs that were not on the phone. This is an important piece of information if you are a frequent traveller, as most of the flights I am on don't have onboard wifi, so it becomes a crap shoot as to what I will have available to listen to.
Is there a way I can view what songs are actually stored locally?

Go to Settings > Music and set "show all music" to OFF.

In the Calendar there used to be the daily activities listed at the bottom of the page when you had the monthly view on it

In the Calendar there used to be the daily activities listed at the bottom of the page when you had the monthly view on it.
For example you could see the whole month, the day you select was highlighted and at the bottom of the page listed any activities.
Now this does not happen. Am I missing something?
The Calender seems to have gone backwards!!!
HELP!!!
PLEASE!!!!

Ditto! I have always preferred the month as the default view and the list at the page bottom let me know what I need to pay attention to for today (or tomorrow, or any future date). Having to scoll through every hour of the day to find items that may or not be there is a huge waste of time!
I hate this calendar!!!! I've been okay with other changes in ios7 but they need to make changes. How about letting us configure our own calendar views? Choose "home" page look by month or week, itemize daily view by hour or by items entered, etc.

Is there any way to increase the font size in the Creative Cloud. Using a Lenovo Yoga 2 with 14" screen and care barely see the menus

Is there any way to increase the font size in the Creative Cloud. Using a Lenovo Yoga 2 with 14" screen and care barely see the menus.

In short, no. There is no fix yet. They only barely acknowledge there is a problem. The "fix" is to enable 200% UI scaling which makes everything comically huge and unusable. This is pretty much of a joke. A really, really EXPENSIVE joke.

I'm using xp but had an hp update and have the problem tried unistalling and reinstalling the HP software and even using system restore to be the update .I hope it is just a setting or something simple. Is there another software I can use ? Many thanks

In the top left on my screen where the back arrow is, there used to be a drop down arrow to skip back many pages. After installing 4.0.1, it has disappeared. How do I get it back?

In the top left on my screen where the back arrow button is to go back to previous webpages, there used to be a drop down arrow just to the right so I can see many of my previous web pages. Since installing Firefox 4.0.1, that arrow disappeared.

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

There used to be a arrow next to the first site that would come up in the search and now it's gone how do you get it back?

For instance I go to a biker site and once I put that in Google search it's the first one that comes up on the list of websites there used to be a arrow pointing at that site and as you would scroll down a arrow would be pointing at each site and I could click the enter button and it would select that site. Now it's gone and I can't figure out how to get it back.
