How to convert a logo in truetype font?

Is there a freeware or shareware program which can convert a logo in truetype font?
I saw Fontographer, but it's very expensive...

mnstudio
There are many tools out there that can do the job for you. Fontographer is one of them, but there is also Fontlab Studio or Glyphs (http://glyphsapp.com) which looks very promising and is a lot cheaper than the other two.
Fortunately there is also FontForge (FontForge.org) which is an open source font editing tool. The good thing about FontForge is that it is free, the bad thing about FontForge is that it is very complicated to get it up and running because they only provide sourve packages, no installers. But you can always search the net for a version with an installer, but these versions are mostly very outdated.
As far as I know, FontForge is the only free tool out there, so you might try it.

How do you access a specific TrueType font in a Font Collection File (TTC)

I am trying to create a Font as follows:
InputStream is = new FileInputStream("myname.ttc");
Font font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT,is);
This works fine but I need to get a specific font from the collection.
How does one go about creating a font from a particular font within
a collection?
I need to access the font file directly. I can't use the
properties file to install the font collection first.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

in fcpx 10.0.6, if you have a range selection, the export will be only that segment.
Hold down the R key and click-drag a range selection, or use the playhead to mark In ('i' key) and Out ('o' key) points.
Select Share > Export File
In the dialog, select Settings
For Format: Audio Only
Audio File Format: I recommend AIFF, CAF or WAVE (depending on your target audio editor.) [AAC, AC3, and MP3 are "delivery" formats, not editing formats.]
then hit Next and save it.
I recommend setting a marker at the in point so you can easily line up the edited audio when you re-import it.

How to convert PNG image to Vertor Image to make font on Mac

Hi Mac People,
I like to create a set of font, and I have made them in a image editing tool, I have FontForge downloaded but decide to use it to convert instead direct design them inside.
So now I don't know how to convert the PNG image to vector image required by the FontForge, I read some post mentioned Ubuntu has utilities to convert, but I'm not sure OS X has that function too.
Could anyone let me know how to convert PNG so I can create my fonts?
If PNG can't, the software can export TIFF or jpeg or similar.
Please help me, I need make them this few day.
Thanks everyone for giving me a hand!

You also have to be careful with fonts. The font you download may be the same name, but a different font. Just because you find a Zurich BT font, does not mean it is the same. If you search on the internet, there are several sources of some Zurich BT fonts free. However, they may or may not be the same font. Editing is best done on the original document and not the PDF. One of the PDFs I found on the Landis site was only in Zurich font. I would think that the original file is available from the company and that should be the document you edit, not the PDF. It appears the original was created in InDesign (CS3).

TrueType font in printing

Hi all,
Why we are not using Truetype Font in printing. In my concern all the jobs having OTF and Postscript font. Which one is better for printing. I don't have knowledge fully. Can anyone help me...

OK!
The response from macinbytes is correct with relationship to Type 1 fonts using Bezier curves and TrueType using quadratic curves for the outline defintions. There are also differences in how hinting is specified. (Hinting is the process by which font outlines are intelligently scaled such that at low magnifications - i.e., the result of both resolution and point size - text is still readable.) Type 1 fonts use mechanisms that rely on both information in the font and a very intelligent rasterizer. TrueType fonts rely almost totally on information in the font itself.
Despite the font wars of the early 1990s, properly designed and created fonts in both Type 1 and TrueType format are perfectly capable of being displayed and printed without any difficulty by operating systems and RIPs respectively that conform to the Type 1 and TrueType specifications. Since the late 1990's every printer with Adobe PostScript has natively supported TrueType as well as Type 1 fonts. Contrary to urban legend, TrueType fonts are not first converted to Type 1 fonts before rendering. Adobe has a full TrueType renderer in all its graphic arts products including Adobe PostScript, the Adobe PDF Print Engine, Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat.
OpenType fonts are effectively a special case of both Type 1 and TrueType font formats. OpenType CFF fonts are the equivalent of Type 1 fonts within what looks like a TrueType wrapper and have a file suffix of .OTF. OpenType TrueType fonts are the equivalent of Windows TrueType fonts within the TrueType wrapper and generally have a .TTF file suffix. In both cases, OpenType fonts cater to Unicode encoding and support significant features beyond just the font outlines and bare bones font metrics. There is also available support for ligatures, swash alternates, contextual alternates, etc. For further information about OpenType fonts, you might want to look at http://www.adobe.com/type/opentype/ and http://www.microsoft.com/typography/SpecificationsOverview.mspx.

How to output a logo stored as standard text to excel using OLE

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to write a program which creates an excel spreadsheet to download data from SAP. The client would like the spreadsheet formatted with merged cells, background colours, different size fonts and in the top left corner of the spreadsheet to show their logo.
They have similar functionality in another report, however, this requires a template (containing all of the formatting) to be stored on the user's PC. They do not want to have to do this with the new download.
After checking the many postings on this forum I have worked out how to do most of the requirements, but as yet have still not been able to work out how to populate their logo to the spreadsheet. They already have their logo stored as standard text (SO10), so would prefer to use this if possible.
Any advise and/or sample code would ge greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sandra

Hi Surendra,
We have the same requirement. We want to do some format changes to "Generic FSG Drill Template". I am able to do few changes. But when we run the report, we are able to see PDF, html output. But 'Exce' report comes with blank. Can you help on this. How were you able to see logo in excel file.
Can you send the suggestions if any to my mail ([email protected])
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Techie.

How to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file?

Hi,
I tried to convert a pdf file into word but it is not fully editable. I can edit the title from the main page and that's it. The rest of the word document is saved as image. I tried editing teh pdf file but that one is not working either.
Please help on how to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file.
Thank you

Not all PDF files are created equal. When a PDF file is created with Adobe Tools it is usually "tagged" with information about the fonts the images, the layout etc... This way when the PDF is saved to a new format like PPT or DOC then the results are usually usable. However, if you have a PDF file that was not tagged for some reason then run the Accessibility tools on the PDF to acquire some basic tagging. This may get you a better result. Also if you have a PDF that is an image, then you may want to run OCR on it.

How to convert a String to an Icon

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to convert a String (specifically one letter) to an Icon for a JTree. The program I am working on uses .png files for the icons at the moment, with each .png being a single uppercase letter. However, recent discussion has us wanting to change to something more dynamic, since we anticipate needing new letters in the near future.
My task is to modify the current codebase so that the Icons used to identify nodes in the tree are created from a Font within code, rather than reading in .png files. I have done some experimenting with creating a Label with just that String, setting the font and trying to extract the image using calls like createImage(int width, int height) and so on, but so far to no avail.
If I could figure out how to at least convert the String to an image, I could probably make it work (since I can play around with creating an ImageIcon with that image). Thanks in advance for any help.
Allan

Here is some quick and dirty code:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class BasicIcon implements Icon {
    private String text;
    public BasicIcon(String text) {
        this.text = text;
    public int getIconWidth() {
        return 16;
    public int getIconHeight() {
        return 16;
    public void paintIcon(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y) {
        Color old = g.getColor();
        g.setColor(c.getForeground());
        g.drawString(text, x, y+13);
        g.setColor(old);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JPanel cp = new JPanel();
        for (char ch = 'A'; ch < 'F'; ++ch) {
            cp.add(new JButton("letter " + ch, new BasicIcon(String.valueOf(ch))));
        JFrame f = new JFrame("BasicIcon");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setContentPane(cp);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
}One thing that could be improved is the vertical positioning of the letter in the Icon.
The x,y values passed into paintIcon are the upper-left hand corner of the icon,
but the y value needed by drawString is the position of the String's baseline.
To do it right, use one of Font's getLineMetrics methods and play around with ascent.

CONVERT_OTF Convert TO PDF the Chinese font bold is lost

Dear All,
     When I use CONVERT_OTF Convert TO PDF the Chinese font bold is lost, but use Print to PDF method, the Font Bold can be showed normal.
Also used these reports RSTXPDFT4, RSTXPDF2UC, it does not work.
How can I solve this issue?
Many Thanks

Hi,Aidan,
    Thanks,
     Sorry,the option CJK_USE_BOLD_IT does not exist in report RSTXPDF3 when I run this report.
     I found only CJK_SMALL_FONT such as u2018CJK*u2019 in my system.
     Is there a way to add CJK_USE_BOLD_IT?
    When I check RSTXPDF3,I found all the options are hard copy in RSTXPDF3 list by Constants.

How to upload jpeg logo

hai , every body i have a dout that how to upload a jpeg logo of a4 size into a script.
by masthan

Hi Masthan,
It is the same process for A4 also, as you normally try to upload other size logos.
Convert the logo to tiff format. Using RSTXLDMC convert this tiff file to text element/ID file. Then include this in your Script. The only pre-requisite is that your window should be enough to accomodate this A4 file/logo. So by this, if you want the Script to be printed on a A4 page, then only the logo will be printed with no other texts. If you use bigger size paper than A4, then you can see the other texts if any along with the logo.
Hope this helps.
Please reward if useful.
Thanks,
Srinivasa

How to convert Sequence file documentation from TXT or HTML to MS Word ?

Hello, I would like to modify a DocSupport.prj which in default generate only TXT or HTML to support MS Wors *.DOC. I have already change the dialog (add *.doc filter..), that was simple. But the major problem is how to convert the output from doc.c to some *.doc file. I found somewhere here Word9 ActiveX Instrument for CVI, but I don't understand, how the CVI gets informations about the steps etc. from *.seq file for another use. The original code in doc.c is quite hard to understand it quickly. Thanks for help.

Hi Pet007,
You should be able to just change the file it saves to's extension to .doc. You'll notice there is a define for txt, you could either change this to doc or if you still want to be able to use txt, create a new define and use this. If you do this you'll need to also add a define above (as you see it defines an integer for each different format type and uses those throughout the program as well). That should give you a good starting point for modifying this code. Unfortunately it is quite extensive to actually accomplish this, or else I could give a step by step guide, but it is rather long. But you should be able to get it working from this. The reason this should work is because Microsoft Word (.doc) files understand plain text just like .txt files. However, if you want to add formatting (fonts, bold text, etc) you would need to use the ActiveX Instrument for CVI which just access the ActiveX server from Microsoft. For more information about ActiveX in CVI visit the following link.

Fixed layout ePub not display truetype font properly when uploaded to Amazon

I've created a kids book with inDesign CC which works fine on iPad but when I upload the book to Amazon KDP, the font which is a truetype font and not protected doesn't display properly. It has unusual spacing between the charaters and sometimes the letters overlap each other. Can i embed this font somehow to have it display properly? I can't find an option anywhere to do that. Or will I have to change the font entirely? Many thanks.

Hi Yves,
Yes, it is an SIL license. I am not using Allatuq anymore, I switched to Quicksand which I got from fontsquirrel.com.
Yes, there is a fixed layout epub option in inDesign CC 2014:
It even has some default sizing options though I have gone with a custom size to account for larger devices, desktop reading etc and am hoping that it's going to work.
The Kindle previewer (desktop version) displays perfectly.
The online previewer has had some display issues with what looks like drop shadows on some images but i'll need to look at the actual file on multiple devices to see what the reality is.
There are some inconsistencies between how the fonts look in the previewers. The online one is not perfect and the desktop previewer displays exactly as designed so again, I won't really know until I can get my hands on the devices. There is also a sizing issue with the online previewer that the desktop previewer doesn't seem to have. And then there will be the issue that the "purchase" file isn't consistent with the preview file you download so not sure how it will all pan out yet.
I had lots of overlapping and other character spacing issues until I changed my font to the OTF Quicksand with the SIL License. I'm hoping the drop shadows are just an issue with the online previewer.
And I'm hoping my conclusion is correct that the OTF with the SIL licenses work for embedding so long as you remove the encryption and replace the encrypted font with the orignal version (and include the license). And I'm hoping that is allowed.

Set TrueType font as Default

We have uploaded a new font (Verdana) via se73 (Install TrueType Fonts) and made an entry in the table TBTFFONTMAP. Now in the CRM Interaction Center when creating a new email or replying to an existing email we are able to choose this new font. However we would like to set this font as a default, so that whenever you create a new email or answer an email per default it takes this Verdana font. So far we have only seen the possibility to change the Internet Settings (Internet Options -> Lettertypes/ Fonts). However if we change the settings here we are not able to choose the size of the font, so it takes the size (size 12) of the current default which is Times New Roman and this is too big for Verdana.
Has anyone found out already how to change the default font of the email editor?
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Bianca

Sorry for the late response,
I started again with a fresh install of Windows Vista and again the same problem appears.
So to resume:
Open a new package
Go to the registry menu.
Add manually (with several right clicks New-> key) the following tree:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\Adobe PDF
Drag the "Default DevMode" binary value (REG_BINARY) from my computer into the "Adobe PDF" key of the destination computer.
Save the project
Click on the Summary button crashed the wizard
In my opinion it is the REG_BINARY string length that cause the problem, I try with other long binary value from other key and it always give the same result -> Wizard crash. I also try with small binary value and these don't gives the problem (for example the "HKCU\Control Panel\Appearance\SchemeLangID" has a small value 09 04 and doesn't give the wizard crash).
Other thing with the binary value is that you can only create empty one, they cannot be modified, so you are obliged to install acrobat pro in order to be able to drag them from my computer to destination computer registry.
I will try with acrobat X and the related wizard next week.

A TrueType Font Doesn't Show Up in Classic

I downloaded a TrueType font and put it in the Fonts folder, inside the System Folder for Classic. The font shows up in Fontbook, as do the other TrueType fonts in the Classic Fonts folder. But unlike those fonts, the one I just downloaded does not show up in Photoshop, where I'm trying to use it.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi, Mike -
Not all TrueType formats are usable by OS 9/Classic, even though OSX may be able to use them.
In particular, PC (Windows) formats are not usable by Classic. However, try using the utility TTConverter which is designed to convert PC-TrueType fonts into a Mac-TrueType font usable by OS 9/Classic.
Test it with a duplicate of the font.
