    I’ve been wanting ask you guys how you deal with fonts… I have about 1500 installed and a sheet printed out with about 100 that i use commonly.
    So, how do you deal with finding a specific one. Any magic solutions other than what i’m doing. I usually have a jpeg for an example.. I see a bunch of people help out on here with that, and that’s fantastic.
    right now i spent almost an hour trying to find this one, but still haven’t.

    top one looks like a sort of plantin extra bold. if its not it could easily be modified to look same i think..
    bottom one looks like optima light, in signlab comes under optic i think.

    thanks again robert… I’ll have a look for those.
    I run a pc instead of a mac and vinyl express software, so i think that’s some of the reason i don’t have some that other designers use.
