adobe serif mm-regular font required please
Ive got this van to do in the morning. It is a re do of a job the previous owner did. I have the original flexi file here but when i try to open it it says that this font is missing – adobe serif mm-regular –
Ive had a look online and cant see anywhere that has it (including adobe)
Can anyone help me out with this as i’m supposed to be starting the van in the morning. i can usually find any fonts i dont have but this has got me stumped.Thanks in advance

That’s the Adobe substitution font (for serif styles).
It’s what Acrobat uses if it can’t find the original font in the file.
The MM in the name is for Multiple Master which is used to imitate the weight, width, tracking etc of the missing font.
I don’t know anything about Flexi, but it seems like it might have been created from a PDF by someone who hadn’t noticed a font substitution warning.
If Flexi can’t handle the MM styling, I’d imagine that you’d end up with a bit of a train crash, even if you were able to use Adobe Serif.
Have you got any old proofs or pictures of the van that show whether vinyl was actually cut with Adobe Serif or the "missing" original font.
I’m not sure what to suggest.

I’ll have the van at my workshop at 8am. Will take a couple of photos and post them.

Here is the van. I am thinking it may be "Kozuka Mincho Pro H". But not sure

It does look like Adobe Serif.
I’m sorry, but I haven’t got the faintest idea what to do.

Found it Richard. It’s Renault Mn Bold.
Thanks for your help -
I’m glad you’ve got it sorted Ewan.

Looks like the previous owner needs a lesson in kerning !

I think quite a lot of it is caused by it being the Adobe Serif substitution font.
It can only do so much with the Multiple Master metrics.

I use flexi 10, not pro though. The original was done on flexi 5 on a mac wheras I use a pc so I don’t know if its a compatibilty issue. I’ll post the original anyway when I get back to my laptop, see what you think
