How to make a fixed font thinner in Illustrator

Hi,
I am trying to create a thin vershion for a font.
but with not much of secsess.
dose anyone have any idea?
The ofset option is not doing it well.
Thanks

Well, you could just read up on type design? Simply insetting the outlines will never work. That's the whole point why fonts need to be designed properly for different weights based on typographic rules and measures. For the most part you will have to re-draw your letters with a constant line weight and compensating e.g. for things like the span of arches and diameters of holes changing as wel las naturally all the spacing/ kerning. It's not that simple like taking an existing font and eroding it...

How to make a fixed font thinner

Hi there.....
I use a font that's specially made ( see att ).....Does somebody know how to make this font some thinner ?
Thankxxxxx.
See you,
Chabby

If you want to keep the font live for future work you can make new thinner versions using an application like FontLab Studio or Fontographer.
If it's just a question of making a single word thinner you can often get away with outlining it, giving it a stroke, expanding the stroke and then subtracting the stroke from the fill with Pathfinder. Try this using a white stroke so that you can judge how heavy the stroke needs to be. This isn't a perfect solution, but like I say, you can sometimes get away with it as long as the stroke is not too heavy.

How to make firefox render fonts as google-chrome does? (screenshot)

How do I make firefox render fonts as google chrome does as shown in screenshot? (Chrome below and firefox above)
Notice for instance the dash "/", "Explore", "Features" etc and the text at the bottom "added git_fixes".
I'm no expert but is it antialiasing that makes the difference? Cause it seems the font is the same, right?
.Xresources
Xft.dpi: 120
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.lcdfilter: lcdlight

I have ttf-win7-fonts installed, and also recently I've installed Infinality (haven't configured it, necessary?).
Advice appreciated.

ya looking at your picture I do see the diff. but I do not have that pixelation in my firefox.
.Xresources has nothing to do with gtk
I do want to let sites choose their own fonts though.
When I look closely on my screenshot I wonder if it's even the same font though (the "3" looks very different).
Perhaps that's where the problem lies.
If I force firefox to use Arial, it looks good. If I set it to Helvetica which seems to be the font used, it looks like in the screenshot - pixelated.
$ fc-match helvetica
helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"
Seems it doesn't use truetype (helvetica.ttf?) as default font for helvetica - shouldn't it?

Suggest you are unaware of the fundamental difference between Illustrator and Photoshop. Photoshop is an raster image editor. It works by adjusting and moving pixels. Pixels are like tiny Legos that make up an image. Look closely enough and you can see the Legos. Illustrator is a vector graphic editor. It works by manipulating the shapes that an image appears to be made from.
The web page you're looking at is a good example. Each letter is a shape that is scales to size and positioned according to the HTML layout instructions in the page's code. If you were to edit this page as a vector (Illustrator) you could be-size or reposition the frames that determine where text goes. You could edit the text, move letters and words around, change the font or the size of the text, and more.
If you were to edit the page as a raster (Photoshop). You'd be more limited in some ways, since all you'd be working with is the image of the text, not the text itself. You wouldn't necessarily be able to do
less. You'd be using different tools. If what you wanted was to edit the text or reformat it, then Illustrator would have the right tools for that job. If you wanted to blur the text or erase some of it as if wiping an eraser over the page, then Photoshop would have the better tools for that job.
Without seeing the image you tried to post, I'm going to assume it's a realisitic looking illustration, like
this one. That was drawn by a pro with years of experience with Illustrator and years more skill as an artist. If you want to make that image, you're going to have to go to school for a long time.

How to make a business card? -Adobe Illustrator CC

Hello,
I'm really stressed after searching the web for a tutorial on how to create a business card in Adobe Illustrator CC. I already have the graphics done, but I just need to know the dimensions and what unit it is. I'm using a homemade kit for these business cards. They're Avery, and I've used the template provided by them but every time I use it, print it out the business card is too low, or high or even cut off right when I have them exactly in the template. The product number is 8373. ASAP assistance would be nice as I'd like to get this done.

Make sure you align your page using the Page tool ( the one that looks like a hand in the lower section of the tool palette). Also, set a holding line for the document dimensions ( I use an 8.5"w x 11"h Rectangle with a no fill, no stroke applied to it > then I lock it ). This will hopefully align the document through the printer.

How to make a handwriting font look like real handwriting in InDesign CS5

This is a script I've written (AppleScript) that addresses the problem most handwriting fonts have — they look like fonts, mostly because they're settled so regularly along the baseline and their glyphs are so uniform.
It began as a way for me to address a need for a project I was working on, something designed to look like a scrapbook. I was using the "Journal" typeface designed by Fontourist (http://www.dafont.com/journal.font), which gave me a good balance of readability and organic feel, but of course it had the same issues as all other fonts of its ilk.
To address that I wrote a script to trawl the taxt frames in a specified CS5 INDD document, looking fist to see if they had that font as their active one, after which the script shifts each glyph up or down the baseline by a random amount, gives each glyph a random stroke weight change, and finally tints each glyph a random amount off of its basic tint.
Each of these changes is very subtle, with the result being something that looks considerably more organic and hand-made than the font did out of the can. The script should be easily modified by anyone who wants to run it using a different font instead of "Journal". Here it is. Enjoy!
-- This script changes the baseline offset, stroke width, and color tint
-- of any type set in the "Journal" typeface to randomized values, giving
-- the text a much more organic look and feel.
-- Written by Warren Ockrassa, http://indigestible.nightwares.com/
-- Free to use, modify and distribute, but I'd prefer attribution.
-- Note that this script can take quite a while to execute with larger
-- or more complex files.

For the fonts, the really cheap and dirty method would probably be to load the names of the fonts you want to use into an array variable in the AppleScript, then get a random index count to grab one of the font names out of that array.
The script as it exists now goes character by character - you'd want to revise it so it went word by word instead, or else you'd end up setting each word's character to one of your random font choices. Instead of
repeat with thisCharacter in (characters of myText)
you'd do something like
repeat with thisWord in (words of myText)
As for loading an array variable in AppleScript - I've not done that before, but it's probably something like:
set myFontArray to {"Papyrus", "Arial", "Comic Sans"}
The curly braces are necessary, as it appears that AppleScript supports lists rather than arrays (a minor but not entirely unimportant detail). Anyway, from there, you'd grab one font at a time, randomly, probably like this:
set myWordFontNumber to random ( length of myFontArray ) - 1
set myWordFont to item myWordFontNumber of myFontArray
You do the first line to get a random number based on the number of items in your list of fonts. You subtract 1 from it because the count on the actual list begins at 0 rather than 1, which means that sometimes you'll get a random number that's actually 1 larger than the number of items in the list, and you'll never see the first item (which is at position 0). This is a very old-school gotcha when working with arrays and lists - a ten-item list will count from 0 to 9, not 1 to 10.
From there, you'd set the given word in your text frame's font to the name of the font you pulled out of the myFontArray variable. You'll want to make sure that the font names you load into your list are the actual names of the fonts you're working with - the examples I used here probably won't work.
Please note that this is just a high-level gloss of what you'd need to do in order to modify the script. You'll have to hit the AppleScript documentation (and InDesign's scripting documentation) to get the precise syntax.

I want to make the height of box fixed size in all pages. The box in outside the detail section. Currently the size of the box changes according to the content of the detail section. Could anyone suggest me how should i achieve it ?

Hi srinivasan,
If you want to keep "Save" and "Stop" common, Why do you want to keep them on Tab control? Is your tab control taking entire space on Front panel? If so, you can have SAVE and STOP on other vi, and you can call this vi (MODAL).

[SOLVED] How to make small MS fonts antialiased?

I have the ttf-vista-fonts package installed because I like fonts like Calibri. However, at font sizes under 15 pt, that font (and one or two others in the set) gets rendered without antialiasing on, which really grates on the eyes considering that the other fonts on my system are antialiased at that size. To make matters horrendously worse, anytime a ligature occurs in the text ("tt", "fi", etc.), those letter pairs are antialiased! I copied the calibri TTF files over from a Windows installation and they are indeed the same files as on Windows, where it antialiases all the way down to 8 pt and possibly lower. From this I know it's something in my configuration.
What in my configuration is making this happen and what do I have to change to make this font antialias all the way down? Something in my fonts.conf maybe?

Check out my fonts.conf for more info. Websites like http://codinghorror.com used to look horrible before this fix.
Thank you, this quick little snippet totally did the trick. And actually, Coding Horror was one of the places where I was constantly bugged by this in the recent past.

Hi Ravi,
Goto SHD0 T.Code and create a transaction variant.
Assign the same to your sales order type.
When you try to create a sales order then this will be ticked by default.
The same you can do in OVZJ T.Code also.Here against your sales area,you have to tick it.

How to make a fixed background image in Dreamweaver CC

I'm trying to make my background image fixed so when I scroll down in Dreamweaver CC it stays completely still, could someone please tell me how to do that?

You've got a lot of code that you don't need. And I'm very dubious about the file:/// path to your image. Are you working in a Defined Local Site Folder? The image path should be pointing to your site, not files:/// on your local hard drive.

Thanks.

Hi,
if method SET_FILTER_CRITERIA doesn´t help, I think that you must work with 2 internal tables, a counter and a loop for filtering the records to be displayed:
case counter.
when 1.
     loop at int_table1 from 1 to 500.      "<-- your table with all records
       move int_table1 to int_table2
    endloop.
when 2.
     loop at int_table1 from 501 to 1000.
       move int_table1 to int_table2
    endloop.
etc, etc.
Call grid-->SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY
   exporting
     IT_OUTTAB = int_table2                "<-- instead of your currently table int_table1

Hi
I have to preview an EPS header frequently the way as I need (drag an EPS on TextEdit icon and it will show an EPS header in text format), so I've asked one guy to write me a QuickLook plugin for to speedup my work. The plugin works perfect except one thing. Default font size in QuickLook for a text file are to small, it's hard to see anything on my screen.
Is there any way to change default font size in QuickLook?
