font sizing prob in sl 7.1
iv been asked to do a run of window stickers that are 17inch long with the following OFFROADNORTEAST.CO.UK the prob is when i do this line of text including the logo either end the text ends up 1/2inch high which isnt going to be any good as it wont be seen if you are more than 20ft from the vehicle, is there a way of keeping the font ratio looking correct if its stretched up or is there just too much text in the line to get a 2/3inch high font.

you are limited by the size obviously, but choosing A taller font will help, stretching can help, but don’t overdo it as it will look wrong.No other way unless you convince the cutomer he needs a bigger sticker for the best overall impact. Being readable at 20′ is about right though for a window sticker. IE like a dealer add

Thx peter, im stuck with the arial font he wants because its on his web site etc, the reason he only wants 17inch wide is he says a landrover back window is 18inch at the bottom, and he wants it high enough so any1 else in the club can see other members from a good distance away and wave! he said this not me 🙄 he also reckons he can do it in paintshop np, well i tried in ps and i carnt get it to look right, looks like il have to get him to change the font as you say, either that or a 1/2inch high sticker. 😕

If he rekons he can do it, just ask him to supply you the artwork, end of story. give him what he wants.

In Arial Narrow it’s not too bad.
A bit squashed but not stupidly so at 17" x 3"

Mind you – how big are these logos?

the logo’s are 1/2 the height of the characters so np with them, the file he emailed me was a jpeg and just normal text and not at the dimensions he wants, what he doesnt want is the o being flattened at the sides which it does when its stretched up, im afraid he will have to change his font or live with what it looks like when its raised up, starting to get fed up with the guy atm anyways 🙄 customers jeez. 👿 [/img]
