How do I thin a font in CS6? I tried a negative number in offset path and it didn't work.

Hi!
first time here. I posted this question in community guidelines by mistake, oops.
Any help would be appreciated!
I tried this with outlining the font and also without. The negative number in offset path doesn't thin, however if I do a preview and put in a positive number it does add onto the width of the font.
Thanks,
maryann

I am going to share with you the secret to using type with appearance. After setting type change the fill to none(characheter level), then add a fill(type level). This way you do nto have 2 fills fighting with each other.
Below I did not follow my advice to better explain what is happening, but I chose a different color fill. Even though I only have one fill, there is a black stroke coming from the character level.
To salvage your existing type, double click so you select all the type with the |-Beam, your appearance palette will now say characters, and delete that fill.
When you oultined your fonts, most likley the same thing happened, but a battle battle between the path and group level.

    You haven't mentioned which mail it is,
    If it is G-mail go to settings --> general tab--> default text style , you can change your font size & then save at the bottom of the page

  • How can I attach a photo as a separate file to an email? (I have tried several of the tricks suggested here and they don't work for me)

    I cannot work out how to attach a photo as an attachment to an email.  I have tried several times today using different methods (ie, changing the email to plain text, dragging the photo from Iphoto over the mail icon, emailing directly from Iphoto), but none of them work.  Everything seems to just produce an email with an embedded photo.  Any ideas?

    Is this the first time your friend receives e-mail from a Mac user?
    It is certainly the first time I have sent her emails from a Mac.  Not sure if she has ever received messages from another Mac user before.
    You've sent her e-mails with pictures before, but only now you're having a problem
    Yes, that's correct.
    Mail.app offers two settings you can try to manipulate: Edit > Attachments > Always send Windows-friendly attachments, and, Always insert attachments at end of message
    I had already tried that and it didn't work.
    e-mail client your friend is using
    I will find out on Monday when she goes back to work, but I wanted to look at solving the problem firstly from my end.
    very likely you're dealing with a problem others have dealt with
    Yes, very likely - I searched the site before I posted my own question, and there were quite a number of posts on the same issue.
    Again, thanks everyone for your help.  Hopefully we can find a solution.  I am not making you all grope in the dark just to annoy you!!!  I'm just a new Mac user trying to work something out.  I am sorry if it seemed otherwise.

  • I tried installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp, but it didn't work, I don't know how to "unparticion" the memory I gave to Boot Camp, and Boot Camp "vanished", help...

    I tried installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp, but it didn't work.
    Although it didn't work, the memory is still divided. So I looked for Boot Camp in aplications, but it literally vanished...
    So I tried downloading it again, but I only found EXE files... they don't work on my MacBook Pro...
    It's very new... Bought it recently...
    Please... I need help to unparticion memory back to original Mac HD and install Boot Camp...
    Thanks...

    Below is the paragraph from the instructions. Follow it exactly and then report what happens at each stage.
    How you remove Windows from your computer depends on whether you installed
    Windows on a second disk partition or on a single-volume disk.
    If you installed Windows on a second disk partition:  Using Boot Camp Assistant as
    described below, remove Windows by deleting the Windows partition and restoring
    the disk to a single-partition Mac OS X volume.
    If your computer has multiple disks and you installed Windows on a disk that has only one
    partition:  Start up in Mac OS X and use Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder, to reformat it
    as a Mac OS X volume.
    To delete Windows and the Windows partition:
    1  Start up in Mac OS X.
    2  Quit all open applications and log out any other users on your computer.
    3  Open Boot Camp Assistant.
    4  Select “Remove Windows 7,” and then click Continue.
    5  Do one of the following:
    a  If your computer has a single internal disk, click Restore.
    b  If your computer has multiple internal disks, select the disk with Windows on it,
    and then select “Restore to a single Mac OS partition” and click Continue.

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

    I recently downloaded the iTunes 11.0.5 for Mac OS X and the iTunes store comes up as a blank page. I have already tried re-downloading iTunes and that didn't work... How can I get it to work?

    I was able to fix mine. I went to software update and updated a few things. I did not update everything, but only what I thought were the essentials, which I believe was Safari, a security update, and a firmware update.
    Then I deleted and reinstalled Itunes yet another time. Now the itunes store is back up again.

  • Why does firefox change fonts when I am trying to download or get help, click and enter keys are disabled why?

    I recently did a clean install of windows7 after returning from Europe and installed Mozilla firefox being fed up with microsoft and google .
    Fire fox seemed to be working ok but 7 out of 10 downloads were failing, and it seemed that every ebsite entered in the address bar turned into a question.
    There was no save shortcut, or paste buttons just a set of to me useless buttons first html, last html, then when I tried to contact help all of a sudden I got a "install fonts" notice and the enter key stopped working,
    and any action key was also disabled without advising me.
    It appears that either Mozilla or someone doesn't want me using firefox.
    I also noticed that the clean disk and other utilities didn't work and that the temp and temp internet folders were empty when I tried to open them but they actually had some 25 megabytes in them when queried as administrator. I also noticed a quick flash reference to Jscript=void,
    and my 32 bit computer suddenly started up as a 64 bit Turion.
    scan and system clean said machine was clean.
    Whats going on here?
    I am not on my machine, I can't contact you on it because the enter button has been disabled by font change.
    Maybe this robot needs some help too!

    Can you undo the system restore?
    Note that using System Restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.
    *You may lose data in the Firefox profile folder like .js and .ini files pr profiles.ini can be affected.
    *You may need to (re)install software that was affected.
    In case you need to reinstall Firefox then you need to delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling to make sure that all files get replaced.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Right-click (or ctrl-click) on a file. If the "move to Trash" option is greyed out, select "get info" and read the permissions at the bottom of the info window.
    Wat are they?
    Do the same for the enclosing folder - what permissions does that have?

    Hi,
    You got 2 solutions for your problem:
    1- If you have permission to run scripts in the remote computer without specifying your credential,
    then, the first reply solve your problem.
    2- If you have permission to run scripts in the remote computer
    having to specify your credential, l then,
    my solution solves your problem.
    If the remote computer requires signed scripts only, you need signed script. Period. Or are you trying to break remote computer security?
    If you need signed script, there's no psdrive that'll circumvent such requirement.
    The problem is that the execution policy is set to "RemoteSigned". Using the URL explicitly tags that script as being from a remote source, and the policy blocks it.  The PSDrive provides a local reference for the script.  It does not
    sign the script but the local drive reference may prevent it from being blocked for being from a remote source. I'll test that later.
    Script signing is not and should never be considered a security measure. It is easily circumvented by running the script using powershell.exe, and using the -ExecutionPolicy parameter to override whatever the local execution policy setting is.

  • Please help! How can I change the font / text size for the checkout page? I asked Support and they sent me here- thanks in advance for your response.

    Hello everyone! I build an e-commerce shopping cart via BC and integrated it with a muse website as seen at sarahcosmetics .com
    Everything is great, but my clients clients are complaining they cannot see the text well once they're in the checkout page.
    I was able to enlarge the font in my Registration-Buy form in the Online Shop Layouts / Module Templates under the Site Manager. This helped enlarge the font size in the checkout form however my issue arrises on the next page when they have to enter their details like CC information name, address etc. the font is way too small and I'm not sure where to access the tools to enlarge that.
    If you could PLEASE help I would greatly appreciate it. I told my client I would handle it asap and I have no idea how to fix this.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
