Illustrator :: Building Glyph Font - SVG Export
Sep 26, 2013
I am building a glyph font in Illustrator CS6. The problem here deals with a large number of assets, all of which need SVG exports at 32x32px (due to a strict grid definitions) for import and compiling purposes (assets need to be sequential in naming for accurate import and compile and maintenance as well). All of the AI export solutions I have seen require the SVGs to be on individual artboards or in separate layers in order to export.
Artboards are extremely limiting as AI has that infamous 100 artboard limit.
When it comes to the layers solution, as far as I can tell, there is no way via extensions or otherwise to take sublayers (grouped/compound paths intact; release to layers does not retain the compound paths) and turn them into top-level layers which can then, in turn, be exported as individual SVG's via this script modified by Tom Byrne.At this point it seems like an entirely manual process.

I've got a number of multi-line text elements in my document and I want to decorate them with some icons that further describe the content. If I can find a font that contains all the icons I need, it's pretty simple. I just add the glyphs from that font in the normal text flow. Maybe change their colour.
But what if I can't find a font and need to use other graphics sources for the icons? They're not in the text flow and I'd need to align them to the font baseline by hand, and update it whenever I change the text length or font size.
I'm looking for a way to insert a graphic directly in the text flow, much like adding an image inline in MS Word or HTML. Maybe it will be necessary to adjust the graphic size or the vertical alignment a bit, too.
How can I do that in Illustrator CS6/Windows?

I need to export a model of a historic building from 3ds max to Quest 3D and create a walk through. The model is very detailed and was not designed with my goal in mind. My job for now is to optimize and remove all unnecessary things from the model.
I got stuck very early on when I tried to bake the textures. I'm using VRay rendered and when I pick a certain object to render and use VrayCompleteMap element the rendered image always appears completely black.

One of the common processes we have to do is to transilate file formats into a type we can use. Most the time it is for use in AutoCAD MEP...
Is there a good one-stop place to get info on import export options from / to softwares included in Autodesk Building Design Suite Ultimate?

Is it there anywhere in photoshop a glyph palette, since i am using many icon fonts and it is slowing me down everytime to go to "Character Map". Or if not as part of photoshop is it there any plugin/extension that could give me this feature?

After opening a file from another designer, this Chinese font has taken over my "omens – regular" font file. Anytime I use it, it converts to this font and each time I need to change a font weight, I must do it manually. As you can imagine, I use our company font all day so this slows me down quite a bit. Have you heard of this? It seems like some sort of font virus. I've researched removing it, yet can't seem to find the original font file to get rid of, which is even weirder."
We tried moving the font family to the trash, emptying the trash, rebooting the machine, and re-adding the font family and it still is happening.

i want to do some scanning of drawings of rubble masonry wall in section export it as a dwg file in autocad, and then work and modify in autocad. However when i use the live trace command, the trace is wrongly done. for example there is a straight line having thickness 2 mm.
illustrator traces it as a rectangle having a width 2 mm. what should i do so that a closed circle sketched on a paper scanned into illustrator is traced as a single circle by recognizing the centre of the sketched path rather than 2 concentric circles placed apart at a distance equal to the thickness of my real life graphite pencil .?

Is there a way to specify a given system font that should be substituted for a given missing font? For example, the document I'm working with contains CourierStd and CourierStd-Bold which are not installed on my system. I would like to set Illustrator so that any time a document that contains these fonts is opened, Courier New and Courier New Bold are substituted automatically.

I am looking into making TTF file creation from CorelDRAW a little easier. If I record a macro of exporting a single character I get the very basics - just a filename and all it does is pop up the export window where one needs to select the character, set the size, etc. Rather time consuming and awkward.
is there a way to automate this? Just set which character is being saved, set the size and so on? Unfortunately the ExportOptions and ExportFilter structures seem to be basically undocumented (or I don't know how to find their options).

I have been using a macro to create PDFs from inventor drawings with the translator for many years now, I started in a new company and it is creating invalid PDF files. So when I try to create the PDF manually by clicking on Save copy As, I am getting this error :
Published with a warning(s)
Cannot create font
As you can see the font has no name so I can't install any missing font. I found out that this error occurs only in drawings created from the company template wich I believe was created years ago. If I use any other template from inventor everything is ok.

I'm wondering if there is a Font Preview plugin available that will do what Illustrator SHOULD HAVE done for many years - which is to actually allow you to toggle through your font list and display the text you entered in the fonts you are clicking through - - kind of like what CorelDraw has had for the last 15 years.
Imagine that... being able to review text in a selected font to facillitate the selection of an appropriate visual reference for logos, etc. Earth-shaking, I know.it seems there would be an Illustrator plugin by now that would do this???
Or do I have to continue to have CorelDraw opened up so that I can review text in various fonts to determine the best choice for a given project font?

I've moved from CS6 to CC my font view is different when I right click on text to bring up fonts. In CS6 the font name is shown in the actual font but in CC it's just got the word 'Sample' in the font. It's driving me crazy! Can I change the view in CC?

Just upgraded to CC on Windows 7 and noticed the font preview is now much smaller than in CS6. I have it set to size large in preferences, but I'm having a terrible time seeing them. Is there anyway to make the preview bigger? I set it to small and medium just to see and I have to wonder what the programmers were thinking when they set previews this small. Why can't they just give us an option to select what point size we want to preview the fonts at?

I have trouble with font in illustrator and pdf. A customer sent me both Ai and Pdf files, the text are totally different.
When I open the illustrator there is one font (Arial Narrow Bold), but when i view the pdf using adobe acrobat the text has changed to another font (Myriad Roman).
The correct font is Arial Narrow Bold. It is very unprofessional to ask customer everytime what font they are using when they already provide me the Ai files.
I want to know what happen when converting to pdf. Are there any setting in pdf I should be aware of ? so I can tell customer next time to avoid this mistake.

I used Illustrator CS5 to just siply choose a font and wrote the words Media King. Then i saved as AI v8 file so that c4d would take the file. The word do have a rounded square as a BG (background).
When it gets in c4d the rounded circle is there but not the font. Does illutrator give paths to text generated in ai?

A colleague gave me a document using a font I don't have: UniversLTStd* I have Univers..the real family
Illustrator won't allow me to change the name to Univers; it insists on keeping it UniversLTStd*
I can type some other letter like A___ and it will change the font.
How can I get Illustrator to bend to my will and accept the change to Univers without scrolling all the way down in the type menu?

Something I have noticed in Illustrator CS6 is that the font sorting, normally alphabetically, is all messed up. I use DIN on a daily bases and this font family is what is always throwing me off not being sorted correctly. I tried to delete and reinstall the font through Fonts (Windows->Fonts), but nothing is changing. And another thing I noticed that when in selecting a font from the toolbar character, I can no longer use keyboard keys (letters) to navigate...

I have a logo that I need to give to someone else so they can alter it but they don't have a font that is used in the original .ai file.
I know it's possible, but I'm just not sure how, to convert the text in the logo to art so that it won't matter if they have the font or not.
