Making a TTF font file from set of SVG images

Hi,
I produced a large set of Egyptian Hieroglyph outlines in SVG file format and I would like to produce a TTF font file using these images ( http://www.qsl.net/5b4az/pages/egypt.html ).
Is there an application or some other way to consolidate these SVG image files into a TTF font file please? Without having to import them one at a time? (there is 1070 of these!)
My thanks in advance.

Thank you, I will see if I can modify it for my needs.
For fonts with good selections of Egyptian hieroglyphs, you might look at NewGardiner.ttf, http://www.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~mjn/egy … diner.html, and Aegyptus.otf, http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/.
I actually produced all these hieroglyph images by extracting the glyphs from Aegypus.otf into individual pgm image files and editing in the Gimp. I did this for the basic Gardiner set and the extra hieroglyphs suggested in the NewGardiner font. But as I put a lot of effort into retouching all these images, I would like to assemble them into a ttf font file. Just a thought.....

How can I access a specific font face contained within a TTF font file?

I want to access "Avenir Medium", which is one of 12 faces contained within the font file named "Avenir.ttf".
CSS allows me to specify the font file (src:...), the family name (fontFamily), and the weight (fontWeight).
The file, of course, is the same for every face within the TTF file, so that doesn't help.
The family is Avenir. Am I supposed to use some version of "Avenir Medium" in the fontFamily param? Nothing I've tried has worked.
The weight is Medium, but that is not an option for the CSS param fontWeight, so this does not seem to be the way to do it.
In Photoshop the font is accessed via the Family pull-down (Avenir) and the Syle pull-down (Medium).
I have not found a way to split the TTF file into separate files for each face, though that would seem to be the simplest solution.

Image Sequences and Batch Processing: Can opening files from different folders as image sequences be set up as an action for batch processing?

I have an ongoing series of tasks that necessitates opening the contents of a series of folders as image sequences.
I'm used to setting up some fairly complex actions, including ones that are intended to be applied to all of the contents of materials in various subfolders, but for some reason I cannot get an Open-with-Image-Sequence-Checked action to set up in a way that will batch process correctly.
Complicating matters is that the file prefixes (i.e., the letters before the sequential numbers) and the folders will always have different names from the last time the process had to be carried out.
The steps I would like the action to carry out would be the following:
1. Open Subfolder 1 - that is, Photoshop shouldn't be looking for a specific folder. It's just *any* subfolder to the current parent folder.
2. Select first file in sequenced set of files.
3. Open as an image sequence.
4. Open Subfolder 2.
5. Select first file in sequenced set of files.
6. Open as an image sequence.
...rinse and repeat until Photoshop runs out of subfolders to check.
Am I asking the impossible?
Thanks!

I'll look around there, because I had posted something about this and was told to look here ps-scripts - Browse /Image Processor Pro/v3_0 at SourceForge.net
then this is the image here:
is the result I received. Granted I'm new to using scripts and actions for image processing large amounts of files.

Making an Accessible PDF file from MS PPT

I have a MS PPT file that I've converted to a PDF file. When I run the "Make Accessible" from the Action Wizard some of the tags disappear for the slides that contain only an image even though I've added alt text to the image. When I preview the file using the Touch Up Reading Order the graphic on the slide will show that it is a figure with alt text but after I run the Action Wizard and view the slide again in the Reading Order there is nothing there and the tag for that slide is gone so it is completely skipped.
Is it safe to assume that running the Make Accessible on a PDF file created from a PPT is just not going to work?

I'm using PPT 2010 and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I'm using the "Create PDF" feature from the Acrobat ribbon in PPT with a modified settings that I've created for all of the PDF files I make. I'm convinced that this has something to do with PPT and Adobe since I don't have any problems using the Action Wizard with PDF files converted from Word. In fact I took the problem images from PPT and copied them into a Word file, converted to PDF and ran the action wizard and had no problems with the tags disappearing from the images. I think we're going to publish the PPT version online with a PDF companion. I can't spend any more time on this. Thank you.

Printing a PDF file from Chrome and Firefox - Image missing

I created about 20 marketing sheets for work using the same default settings and a template. They contain several inserted images of drawings and floor plans on each sheet (saved individually). When I try to print a couple of different files directly from the Chrome viewer or the Firefox viewer, it removes one of the images I inserted into my pdf. There are about four of 20 sheets that I am having this issue with. It does show when I view it in IE's viewer though and also when I download the file and open from my downloads. For ease of use, I really need to have it show when viewed in Chrome and Firefox. Any ideas?

Make sure you're opening the file using the Adobe plugin, not the built-in
PDF plugins of these browsers:

Drag image file from portfolio pdf into image field in reader

I'm new to the Adobe world and this is my first project. I'm not sure if this is even possible, but here's what I'm trying to do...
One document is a PDF portfolio with 200 images (jpg or tif). Each image in the portfolio will have a description. The second document is a PDF form created in LiveCycle. I want to be able to (from Reader with rights enabled) import the image from the portfolio into a field and have that image displayed along with the description all inside the form. Thanks so much in advance!

Get file from HTTP POST (upload image)

Hello,
I would like to integrate http://www.plupload.com flash component to my APEX 4.1 website. I need it because I want to resize image and transform image before upload on client side, upload multiple files etc..
But I don't know how to read image binary data from POST method.
When I hit "Start upload" button on plupload component it makes some transformations and creates POST method like this:
------pluploadboundary1334433145869
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name"
p16qp6jm3nhan1ca46me1ocr3tu1.jpg
------pluploadboundary1334433145869
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="chunks"
1
------pluploadboundary1334433145869
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="chunk" 0
------pluploadboundary1334433145869
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="centerd.jpg"
Content-Type: image/jpeg
ÿØÿà�JFIF��ÿÛ��
image content
now I would like to read content of this HTTP POST and read sended image and store it to DB.
Question is... how can I read file sended with HTTP POST in APEX pl/sql process or pl/sql procedure?
Thank you...

Hi,
here are my two cents ...
this will be a bit difficult. When you use the standard APEX File upload it is not PL/SQL handling the POST request. The request is handled by the webserver - depending on the variant you are using it is either mod_plsql, the C code of the Embedded Gateway or the APEX Listener. The webserver is also doint the insert into APEX' file repository. So I see two options:
It might be possible to configure your plugin (don't know about it) the behave the same as a standard browser upload. Then for APEX there would be no difference - mod_plsql should handle the files accordingly.
If you want to handle the POST request yourself, as said, you can't do this in PL/SQL. It would be possible to write a Java servlet doing this and deploy that servlet on the same container as the APEX Listener (when using Apache with mod_plsql you would need an additional Java server for that) ....
Hope this helps ...
Best regards

Tif files from Microsoft Office Document Imaging

I have a photo which I believe was scanned in Microsoft Office Documrnt Imaging. It was saved in tif format (at least what that program called tif format). While the photos are supposed to be in tif format, I can't open them in Photoshop. Any help would be appreciated. (I doubt if I would get any help from Microsoft.)

As PS is very sensitive to formats that are just not quite right (often header info), the use of other programs to Open and Save is usually the first place to try.
From another recent thread, Irfanview (freeware) gets high marks, is a smallish program and seems to open more improperly formed files, than does PS. I've used it, or the old PhotoImpact, or ThumbsPlus with TIFF's and JPEG's that PS refused to touch. A quick Save (same format in a new location) has almost always worked. If one of these does not do it, I head to the next, and then the next. Some files cannot be opened by anything, and it's then back to "square one."
Good luck,
Hunt

This is a pretty late reply but for others in the same position, the step you are probably missing (as I spent the last half hour trying to work it out given I missed the step myself), is to make sure you create the destination file first using something like:
touch sda4.img
first.

How do I create an AppleDouble "dot-underscore" file from the command line?

We're going through a process of migrating NetWare shares to Windows shares (without File Services for Macintosh) where I work. One concern is that the NetWare shares are shared as AFP volumes to the Macs. All the finder info and metadata for the files is thus stored natively and invisible to all the servers involved in the migration. If the Novel migrator or robocopy copy the files, resource forks and metadata are lost.
The procedure I've provided the migration team involves making a UFS disk image, identifying files on the NetWare share that have Mac resource forks or metadata, copying the files from NetWare to the image one-by-one (whereby the OS creates the AppleDouble dot-underscore files), and then copying the dot-underscore files back to the NetWare share so that when either migration tool is used, the files correctly appear on the Windows shares in AppleDouble form with forks and metadata intact. This works reliably enough, but it involves a HUGE amount of network activity, and there's issues with making sure that the permissions are correct in the process.
Is there a way to directly produce the AppleDouble dot-underscore file from a file on an AFP share. Things like SplitForks, RezWhack, etc. don't work on shares. I cannot find any command-line utility, AppleScript extension, Automator action, etc. to do it.

Thank you. I am aware of that, cpio as well. The problem is that I don't want to have to copy the files, just create the dot-underscore file. For various reasons, we still need to use the Windows-based migration tools to migrate the files. So what I want is something that can read the metadata and resource fork WITHOUT making a copy of the file to produce the dot-underscore file. The solution I
currently have for them works like tar (without the extra step of storing things in the archive or requirement of using OS X tar to unpack it).

Export Typekit font to desktop as font file

Can Typekit fonts installed in Photoshop CC be exported to desktop as font file and used in an mobile application development?

Hi tambyra,
Typekit's license doesn't cover this use case and doesn't allow you to copy or move the font files from where they're installed on your machine by the Creative Cloud app.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help here. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Cheers,
