thedom Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I downloaded on dafont.com a new font and installed it : KingThings Christmas : http://www.dafont.com/FR/kingthings-christmas.fontIn O/A, I create a text and choose the KingThings Christmas.I close O/A and the text get back to the default Font Arial. When I reopen the O/A window, the text of the font is in Arial. But the font parameter is left blank.I downloaded Aierbazzi font too ( http://www.dafont.com/aierbazzi.font )Actually, the use of this font is very special: it hads at the same place a new "character" to make a kind of floral bouquet.In PTE, when I type text, the characters doesn't appear sometimes.The problem doesn't exist when I use this font in Photoshop.I am under Vista.The problem exists with PTE 5.6.4 and PTE 5.7.b8.If somebody else could make tests and confirm (or not) the problem.Thanks.

Conflow Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi Dom,I had a look at those Fonts and pushed them through my Font Library and Amp-Font Viewer.These Fonts are not TTF-Fonts nor Adobe-Helvetica Types but seem to be Bit-Mapped Fontsmore suited to Unix/Linux for use on Apple-Mac Pcs.They wont work on any Windows-Platform which require (Microsoft-Type) TTF-Printable Fonts andI'm afraid Vista is no exception. (TTF=True-Type-Fonts).Even if you acquire and use Adobe OTF Fonts (CS3+S4) these will default to the nearest TTF Fonton any Windows Platform (provided you have something like an OTF nearest match installed).(As a help) TTF Fonts are vectored fonts which have a known progressive size-matrix depending on Font point size ~ whereas Bitmapped Fonts have no such structure for re-sizing.Brian (Conflow).

xahu34 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I looked at the KingThings font on a Win XP machine. It did not work with Office 2003, but it did work with OpenOffice 3.1. In PTE 5.6.4 I had the same problem as described above, but it seems to be possible to rasterize the KingThings text to PNG before closing the O&A window.
