I am working with font "not a free one" and it has a problem that I can not take its style with the eye dropper,
it only gives the same font name but the shape of font did not applied
Copying an element which has a graphic style applied now breaks apart the style into individual elements if the style is applied to text, the text is outlined too. This never use to happen. Have tried changing the paste board setting but this changes nothing.

What is the difference between 'Regular' and no font style.
How do I acheive the 'blank' font style instead of Regular?
I am getting font style(like regular, bold, italic etc) like this-
while (count < fontCount) {//loop , which iterate throgh used fonts.
ATE::IFont currentFont = fontRefArray.Item(count);
if (!currentFont.IsNull()) {
FontRef fontRef = currentFont.GetRef();
AIFontKey fontKey = NULL;
result = sAIFont->FontKeyFromFont(fontRef, &fontKey);
result = sAIFont->GetUserFontName(fontKey, fontname, 50);
result = sAIFont->GetPostScriptFontName(fontKey, psname, 50);
result = sAIFont->GetFontStyleName(fontKey, stylename, 50);
result = sAIFont->GetFontFamilyUIName(fontKey, familyname, 50);
}
For some fonts(not all the fonts) , Style name is comming as empty string, however for other fonts its working. Not sure why its working for some fonts and not for others. Other font properties are coming fine for all fonts.When its failing, result is not kNoErr, but i dont know that how to get the exact error?
There is a font and table style called "Legend" that is automatically generating and can not be purged.
I have looked through all the start up files, all the lisp files and can't find anything that would be creating them!
They appear in any file I open, new or old and even if I open a template file.
I have attached a file that should be empty but you will (or should) see both a font and table style called "Legend".

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe Eye Dropper tool is acting funky. It was preventing me from picking up the color of my template when in outline mode - instead selecting no fill and no stroke. I finally got it to work by unchecking "Appearance" in the tool options. I didn't actually change any settings inside appearance (everything inside is still checked). That did allow me to select the templates color, but now it is also selecting my "path color". If my layer's color is set to Cyan for example, eye dropper actually selects cyan if i click on the path.
Is there a way to allow template color selection but avoid path color selection?
EDIT: I just discovered that these settings don't even pick up the template color correctly. They choose the color of the auto-dim/opacity that occurs when setting a template.
Anytime I use the tool to copy a color, the entire format copies and changes the look of the object I already have selected. Is there a way to set my preferences so I only copy color with the Eye Dropper tool?

This has happened during a few different projects I've had:
Short Version: I'm just trying to make sure that the colored box prints the exact same color as the PDF's color and it's not.
Long Version: Say I'm given a PDF, it's a poster, and it needs to have bleed (a border around it) added. I'll open Illustrator, put the PDF in there, and use a colored box for the additional bleed/border I'm adding. I'll use the eye dropper, click on part of the PDF - it'll give me the color of that spot. I'll take that color and apply it to the colored box, it changes color.
The issue is that sometimes, that color the eye dropper picks up doesn't actually match the PDF's true color. I can fill in the colored box with whatever color the eye dropper picks up, but it's often a weird color, like with CMYK number values being at 98.35% or something And even when the color value on the PDF and box are the same, you can see a slight difference between that colored box and the real PDF.
I'll even export that to a PDF and make sure it's correct, using the Object Data Tool or whatever it is, and then using the eye dropper there, and seeing that the color for my box and the PDF are at the same CMYK color values. And you can still see it's incorrect very slightly, and then when you print it it's obviously not the same. Even when I try picking it up in HSB or RGB, it's no good.
I'm trying to make a script to transform shape by a value of below object.
(look sample image below)
And I'd like to know how to sample color from gradient-mesh or bitmap photo.
Does illustrator script have eyedropper or color sampling tool?
The only color the eye dropper tool selects is black. (CS6)
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen you're editing a gradient within the shape (as opposed to in the Gradients palette), is there any way to use the eye dropper tool to sample an existing color? In-shape gradient editing (or whatever Adobe calls it) is useless without the eye dropper.
View 24 Replies View RelatedI'd like to change the text colour to that of one I pick using the eye dropper tool.
This is what I do;
1. Select the text
2. Using the eye dropper tool i click on an object (lets say a square) filled object with a different colour. (no stroke) - Now I expect that the text will change to the squares colour but it does not.
The eye dropper will pick up and change its font/colour if i select other text but not other objects. I have opened the eye dropper preferences and EVERYTHING is ticked in both picks up and applies.

How do I apply an eye dropped color directly to a Gradient Shape? Why can't I just do it like I would when applying a flat color with the Eye Dropper?

how to achieve the styling that the matrix font has using other fonts? i know that there's a downloadable version of the actual font Miltown (and a Miltown II as an alternate version), but what i'd like to do is take a source font (presumably the font that Miltown started from) and give it the random offset/winded line effect that the matrix font has. once i know how to do this for at least one font i'd be able to apply this effect to other objects (not just text objects).

I outlined a bit of text, and then applied Effect > Warp > Arch. What I'd like to do is cut apart parts of the now outlined letters. I tried to use the pathfinder palette, but it applies the pathfinder to old, non-arched shape.

I have a crown I'm working on and I applied grunge brushes to the diamonds and shines. I would like to remove the grunge and keep the lines as they were before, smooth and clean. Is there an option or quick fix to do this? I created these diamonds and shines a long long time ago or I would just cmd+z. I have not expanded the paths, I have kept them them the same .25 stroke and no fill
I have this path that I got from Shutterstock. No matter what I do with it, it's got this green fill on it. So if I apply a grey fill to it, the grey fill is put on top of the green. If I remove the fill completely, the green fill is still there.
Maybe the person who made it applied some kind of magical unremovable fill color to it or someting?
I've ungrouped it, checked that there's no effects in the appearance panel, and of course checked that there's no outline on the path. I've also tried releasing compund paths. There's no opacity mask or transparency modes. Nothing worked.
I have had a request for a wallpaper similar to this dont worry this is just a mock up but I cant find a graffiti font that makes it stand out. preferably a solid face font. the job is very specific to have graffiti font. So if you know any that are not on dafont.com let me know. She has browsed the web looking and is not happy with any.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to create a yellow font that has a transparent stroke inside of it. Also I want to add another white stroke behind the text on the outside. I have done this by adding a black stroke inside the text and then coping the layer and adding a white stroke to the outside and putting this layer behind the first. I then select the black stroke with the magic selection tool and delete it. This gives me the effect that I want, however when I delete the black stroke the font is not smooth like it once was.

I want to use a font that a collegue used on his drawing (he used Microstation but all our drawings are first done in LisCad), I have it in the AutoCAD font library, but for some reason it doesn't show under properties in the STYLE drop box in my drawing... Is that because my drawing comes from Liscad?
I guess I can copy a word from another AutoCAD drawing to get it in, but if I can get in into my drop list it would be handy!
