Typesetting Font Identification and Recommendations

Re: Looking for a couple of fonts..

I only want the link if it has one of the two fonts I listed in my first post. Does it?

No, it doesn't have them. When I read Blambot Classic I've made a mistake with Blambot Cassual, sorry.

Font Download Problems

As of lately, I haven't been able to download any new fonts -- .ttf is the type of file most of the fonts I download are. Every time I try to move a font into the Font folder in the Control Panel, I get an error message or two that says that _____ (usually a jumble of letters and numbers that is different for each font) is not a valid font type and sometimes one that says En_US is not a valid font type...

I was able to download and use .ttf fonts before -- While I was using XP...Right now, I think it's one of those never-ending Vista problems...

Re: Font Download Problems

Can you still go in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts and put the fonts there manually?

I've never used Vista and know nothing about it, mind you.

Re: Font Download Problems

Well, I send the files from inside the RAR into the Fonts folder manually - it's the only way I know how to...

So yeah - even manually, it gives me the font errors...

You need to extract the files to a different folder before you cut/paste them into your fonts folder.

Re: Font Download Problems

Vista is known for this problem since the very beginning. There are a few ways to do this correctly:

1. Start > Control Panel > Appearance & Personalization > Fonts > File (if hidden, press ALT) > Install New Fonts. The rest is easy to figure.

2. Like Emery said, extract your fonts first, preferable to C:/ .... dunno why, for some people this method don't work when they extract it to non-OS partition

Usually when you have troubles with Windows, please do visit the MSDN Forum, anyway for this specific problem: Check this thread

Re: Font Download Problems

It's not really a problem. They just changed how it's implemented a bit. It's actually a bit easier, minus the security popup. You just need to select the font files you want to install, and then right click and select the "Install" option. Fairly straightforward.

Re: nice fonts

Tons, but it all depends on the kind of manga, or the kind of text you're using it for.

Re: nice fonts

sorry, for some reason, it makes me laugh (not because u don't read it no. its because of the 'attitude' you gave, sorta like 'they suck' )

ummm.. well then...something like digital strip? kinda 'serious' mood in it (if you know what i mean). no fun/casual feeling it in. just...plain serious ...i cant think of a better word..sorry... thanks anyway.
