How do i use the fonts in illustrator to create a monogram?

i am new to illustrator and need to know how to use fonts in my projects

Use the "Character" palette to view the fonts you have loaded.  Monograms usually require something a bit out of the ordinary.  Create an account online ( for instance, myfonts.com ) and be prepared to purchase what you plan on using for your design.  Don't forget, the computer is just a tool.  The actual designing will come from you.  That will require some sketching, some research, and some development.

  • How can I use my fonts in Illustrator (CS4) without Suitcase?

    How can I use my fonts in Illustrator (CS4) without Suitcase? InDesign has a fonts folder, but not Illustrator.

    i found this info from this link: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3466307.  The user who asked this question stats this solution worked for them.
    First in Language and text preferences in the system preferences select Hebrew as the input method.
    The in Illustrator click the text tool in your document or drag to create a text frame.
    While the cursor is active select a hebrew font
    then go to the menu bar for the finder and where there is the American Flag pull it down and select hebrew
    now go back to the document and start typing.
    Remember if you do not have the ME version you have to have it flush right and type backwards.

  • How do I use the fonts in my font book in Word?

    I have created several documents and used fonts that I like, such as Sand, Verdana, and Textile. I imported them into my font book, but they are not available in my Word or Excel documents. Anyone have any ideas on how I can use them?

    Nancy,
    I'm afraid I don't know the answer, if no one on this forum answers I'd also recommend posting on the Office for Mac Product Forums. BTW when posting it's helpful to post what version of MS Word you're referring to. Snow Leopard will run Word 2004, 2008 & 2011 so you need to be a bit more specific.

  • How do I use the back-up discs I created before restoring, to recover my personal files, etc.??

    I own a Compaq Presario CQ56 109WM Notebook PC that I recently ran System Recovery on to restore it to the "Out-Of-Box State," due to a virus or crash or something that would no longer allow the computer to boot to Windows. Beforehand I backed up my personal files, pics, music, preferences, etc. on a set of 5 DVD+R discs. Now the computer seems to be running fine to my knowledge, however I have no idea how to use these discs. When I finally got them to read in my disc drive, I found a .exe file on the first disc for the Recovery Manager, which I opened obviously, and it was supposed to create a folder on my desktop and open all my stuff. However while doing the first disc I got like an error message that said "Recovery Manager could not restore the file 10.wim. Do you want to continue?" I clicked yes, and it gave me the same message for files 11-19.wim, 2.wim, and 20-27.wim. I have no idea what this all means. Also after it was done, I do have a folder on my desktop, which has 3 other folders inside, and inside of those is a ton of other crazy folders and files, which I'm sure my stuff is in SOMEWHERE but the question is, HOW DO I ACCESS AND RESTORE IT ALL TO WHERE AND HOW IT WAS??? LOL PLEASE HELP!!
    This question was solved.

    HP Backup backs up many folders that are useless, most of your personal files should be in a folder with your old user name in the "Users" folder. This Backup app is also known to be a pain.
    As for why you got the error, which sounds like all files were not extracted, that could be a faulty DVD, something caused a bad write to DVD,etc.
    If you don't see a 'Users' folder, I would probably start by deleting the folder created on Desktop and make a new one either on desktop or in My Documents. Next copy files from each DVD to that new folder. From the folder try running the .EXE file again to see if any better results.
    One other suggestion-go into Control Panel, Folder Options and check to be sure 'Hidden files' are shown.
    If all else fails, install 7Zip and try it to extract the .WIM files.

  • How do I use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document?

    How does one use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document. Pages has its own fonts but I cannot get the Japanese fonts into it.

    To type japanese on a computer you change the keyboard, not the font.  Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and add Japanese/Kotoeri to the list, then select Hiragana in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen, then type.  The font will take care of itself.

  • How can I limit the fonts in the Character Map (charmap) and reinitialize the state after use?

    In a WPF application I have a RichTextBox in which users will be inserting text. I also must give the user the ability to insert characters. To do so I have called up charmap.exe using
    Process charProcess = new Process();
    ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
    charProcess.StartInfo.FileName = strCharmap;
    charProcess.Start();
    etc., and it works fine. There are several problems I have basically with charmap, however, not with WPF. The first is that because of the subsequent use of the user’s insertion in the RTB, I must restrict the font to “Ariel Unicode
    MS.”  So far all I have been able to do is instruct and warn the user not to change fonts and 
    change back any font change that occurs as a result of use of “Advanced view” features.
    Question number one is, how can I restrict the fonts loaded into charmap to this one font? The second problem is that if another font is called up, or the “Advanced view” state of charmap is closed, or a “Group by” feature is opened, these choices will
    be retained for the next user that opens charmap. How can I initialize the state of charmap for each new user with the correct font and “Advanced view” features showing. It is said,but in old posts, that reinitialization occurs for all but administrative users,
    but this seems to be no longer true. I have tried permission changes in charmap’s Properties, but I can’t get the necessary reinitialization to occur even if user’s don’t have modify permission. Can one use a .ini file, or the .mui file, or make Registry changes
    to accomplish my goals. There seems to be a warning in the .mui file about changing fonts, but is it cancelled? I am using Windows 7 and C#.
    I have looked at other character maps but they are either too complicated for the casual user, or they have no search engine and advanced features, or they have the same problems.
    I am pretty much a novice with respect to the Windows files use and WPF, so please be fairly clear, complete, and prescriptive in your answer. Also so that I and others can learn, it would be nice to have an explanation of why one does whatever you suggest.
    Your help is appreciated.

    PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4.  How do I get my old fonts back?  Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts.  Dell Precision, Windows 7.  Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own?  If so, where are they in the directory?  A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program.  Please help.  If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them?  Thanks.

    All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS.  Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.

  • How do I change the fonts on the main page.My fonts have recently changed without my doing anything. They are like 6 point instead of the 12 I am used to. Email font is now huge. Is this an ATT/Yahoo problem or Firefox. Safari fonts seem to be o.k.

    How do I change the fonts on the home page? They recently shrank from 12 to very tiny..(6 pt?). I did nothing to change them, but after the event tried to change them using "preferences-Fonts"which had no effect. ATT seems to have made a change in their email. The fonts in the email are now huge (18 pt?). This could be an ATT/Yahoo problem with Mac, although Safari seems to be working o. k.

    Jim, extensions are also add-ons. Add-ons include extensions, themes and plugins.
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you need to make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • How to use the fonts in the graphics menu

    I am looking to add text from the graphics options on the right hand side of the screen.  When I double click or drag one of the text options to my project a text box appears, however the text is not the one selected from the options on the right – instead the text appears and I can change the text from the list of standard fonts at the lower left - and the font I double clicked from the menu on the left isn't listed. 
    How can I select and use the fonts listed on the graphics list at the right?   I am looking to use the gray and black "outline" font.
    Thank you!

    When I press the "+" at the lower right corner of the screen I am presented with, among other things, a selection of font types.  I am able to change the text color in the graphics menu but can't figure out how to use one of the fonts listed in the menu.  For example, from the graphics menu I select "type" then "text" and from the fonts listed I double click "outline" and a text box appears on my project with "your text here", however the font is "rosewood std" and the only fonts available are from the typical list - no outline font as listed in the graphics menu on the right.   When I double click the text type "outline" the font doesn't change.  I think I am missing a step somewhere but can't figure it out.   Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Is it possible to use the fonts I have in my Mac Font Book with Creative Cloud software, such as Illustrator and Photoshop?

    Hi Kyley,
    Syncing fonts from CC is a feature of Typekit. However, fonts that you've installed manually on your system will be available in all your apps. You won't need to sync them.
    I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
