Harvey,
Thanks, it did load right up. You'll have to let me know the secret so when I need one of the other fonts on that disk for logos I have made for some companies I can get it back loaded.
I did purchase a new Helvetica Bold and it was so close that I could use it but now will go back to the original that I have used with these signs for so long and not have to do any tweaking(yep, the new just had to have a size tweak which I was doing). Yeah!!!!!!
Funny how the font I have been using and the one I bought today are the same name but theres about a 1/16" difference in length when I compare them. I use suite numbers alot and 0200 is a common number I use and when I tried it as my sample the original is just about 1/16" shorter than the new font I purchased today. Adjusting it came very very close but now Thanks to You I don't have to do any adjusting.
Thanks for doing that for me,
Puck

I have Font Creator 4. I do not use it often because making a font is so extremely time consuming, especially the auto-kerning parameters.
All I did was to load the font, change the name in all 9? places to add a letter so it would be seen as a different font, then saved it. I also made the filename only 7 letters long, just in case.
I let the program do the work of correcting whatever was the format glitch. Simple to do, took ten minutes if even that.

It was a life saver and I do Thank You again for spending the time to fix that font for me.
I have searched the net and found a download demo of that font program so if I need another font off that CD I can hopefully fix it. Might have to buy the font program if they still have that version, saw they have the new version 5 in it's place.
Thanks,
Puck

Darn, I recently got version 4, which was an improvement of 3.
Not so bad, I am happy with 4.
