Hello I'also looking for this font, sorry my request is not very original!

We have a letterpress sample in hand. Printed on uncoated stock(highly calibrated smooth stock), Inks used may be magenta or rubine red, or rhodamine. We can print but not match the sample. The sample has a smooth sheen when slightly tilted in light. As if there is gold uniformity sitting on the sample.

Has anyone seen this kind of effect? If so please tell me what I need to do to enhance this smooth gold effect to be shown on our print. We have tried double hits/printing on transparent opaque inks and then print the above inks etc but cannot get the correct result. The pigments in the inks have this gold content but will not settle smoothly. Any help will be appreciated. This is very technical question please.

Hi there, does anybody has an idea what font is this?

Who knows what this sans-serif is? Thanks for your help.

As the title says: this is the html code of a table that should be displayed correctly within a typophile thread using the allowed tag iframe.

Anyone know what the script font is in the word Cartwheel?

This blog mainly about the stories of typefaces around the world.

A tex input file to use with XeLaTeX and the corresponding pdf output in order to compare Brill with Times New Roman on a text of width 90mm. Files meant for the thread http://www.typophile.com/node/103271

The input text is utf8 encoded and should normally have extension .tex.

A while ago I researched out of curiosity if it was possible to build fonts with embedded colour bitmaps like the Apple Color Emoji font on Mac OS 10.7/10.8. I figured out the «sbix» table format and wrote some code that can be hooked into the Python FontTools to decompile and compile the sbix table which contains the image data.

Some of my research was generously allowed to happen during my working hours at FontShop International.

After pondering for a while what to do with this knowledge, me and FontShop International finally decided to make the code public to encourage experimentation.

So without further ado, please check out the attached demo scripts.

A week ago I got a project from a client in which I have to complete a design that was started by another designer. My client really likes the fonts and wants me to use the same one for the rest of the project. They only have a jpeg copy of the design. I do not have a clue what is the name of these fonts and I tried every where and last time I had a meeting with the client they said that the previous designer worked at a sign writing company so I’m thinking maybe they have them available on their programs, if you can help me recognize the font it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
