Font Needed

[swillox]

Hi everyone,...

I'm looking after the Myriad Pro semibold Condensed or the entire Myriad Pro volume...

Can Anyone help me with this ??

Thanks a lot allready.

Have you tried a Google search? That seems to turn up a myriad (:)) of sites offering the font set you seek. (At a price of course!)

[swillox]

Yeah, of course I did... but I would like to try it out before buying it

[Dave]

The way fonts work I'd doubt you can do that.

Explore the Google sites until your brain falls off from boredom and pop-up nuisance and mis-direction to porno sites and .... :)

Hint - There are sites that SAY they have free fonts and specifically the font you seek, but nine times out of ten they're lying.

Good hunting

Yeah there's no try before you buy option with fonts. And passing fonts around is actually a violation of the font's license agreement and is pirating software — Something Pixeladdiction doesn't support or condone. Sorry Swillox.

Here's a character map though

Thanks Jolt, ...

I need some help with the .otf font format ?
How do I manage that kind ? I tried to do an instal with ATM (adobe type manager) but it does'nt even consider the files as font files.
I tried to rename them in .ttf, nothing happend...
I'm working on a mac. and it is a mac format font.

Any idea?

[Scott]

What OS are you running Swillox? What version of ATM are you running? Is it ATM Deluxe (I'm guessing it would have to be to install fonts in it)? ATM Deluxe 4.0.a should see otf files just fine. But ATMD won't work with OSX at all. You can't rename the files as you've discovered and in any case .ttf is a PC suffix. Worse case scenario drop the otf files in System folder > Fonts for OS9.x or users/[user]/Library/Fonts for OSX.

OS9.2, ATM Deluxe 4.6,

Thanks, I tried what you said, but still no results....

Is it possible I got too many fonts activated?
I also heard that some fonts are managed by the finder, what about that ?

???

[Scott]

Yeah OS 9 does have a font limit. I've kind of forgotten what it was though. Actually it's an open file limit and each font counts as one open file. ATMD 4.6 does support Open Type so it can't be an issue with that. How many fonts do you have activated? The entire point behind ATMD or any font manager is that you don't need to have all of your fonts active at the same time and can turn them on and off as you need them.

There are some fonts managed at the finder level, basically any font that resides in System Folder > Fonts is activated at the Finder and not through ATMD.

[swillox]

Great, I'll give it a try, and tell you when it works,...

Thanks again.

[swillox]

It's ok now... I just throwed them in the wrong folder: machd/system/fonts was wrong,
the good one was at machd/systemfolder/fonts...

All that stuff in french and i loose my english ;)
