But anytime I edit a text block or create one, it slips back out of bold. I can change to a bold font after creation. The problem is that vw is not accepting bold fonts. I guess I could see if there is odd behavior with other fonts.ĭid that. MM fonts have not worked right in vw since 9.5.
I note that others are having this problem on pcs.Ī MM font is not supported by OS 10 and you should contact Adobe to purchase an OS 10 compatible font suitcase. Is vw 10 more particular about where fonts are than it was in previous versions? I don't see anything that looks like suitcases. I must repeat I have no problems with any other application other than vw10. They existi in many locations including the top level library, the library in the system X folder and the extensions folder in the os9 folder. Is that significant? I never pay attention to fonts. No, I don't know why you are worrying about suitcases. Have you tried running Font Doctor to see if the suitcase is missing a component? The Graphite font is behaving the same way, which I think is by design.Īll I'm saying is that since the old version of the font didn't work this way (meaning you didn't use Bold from the style menu), it would be nice to be able to map it to the Bold version of the new font, which though it is a working font file, is hidden from the list simply because it is a bold version of a font.īut if it can't be done, I guess it can't be done. Instead to use that font, you would pick Arial in the font menu, then pick Bold off of the Style Menu.

Arial Normal does, but the bold version of it (even though it has its own separate font file in Windows Control Panel) doesn't show up as its own entry in the font list. Often, only the primary font shows up in a list, and the variations such as bold and italic are hidden and instead are accessed by choosing either bold or italic from the style menu.įor example, Arial Bold also doesn't show up in the font list. I think this may be by design in VectorWorks (and many Windows programs). I think it's actually not showing up simply because it's a bold variation of a font. I don't think the font is corrupted or isn't showing up because I have too many fonts installed. I'm wondering if maybe there's a workaround or a text file I can edit that shows the font mapping or something like that. But without GraphiteStd-Bold showing up in the font list as its own listing, I can't do it. Ideally, what I need to be able to do is map GraphMM_512 BD 523 NO to GraphiteStd-Bold. I can map to GraphiteStd, but the newly mapped font shows up as just plain, not bold. So, when I go to map the old font names using Font Mapping, there isn't a separate selection for GraphiteStd-Bold, there's only GraphiteStd. Doing that was unnecessary as that particular font was already bold. Using the old version of the font, you didn't select Bold from the style menu. Instead, you access it by simply choosing GraphiteStd from the Font Menu, and choosing Bold from the Style menu. The problem is GraphiteStd-Bold doesn't show up as its own entry in the font list. The new equivalent font is called GraphiteStd-Bold.
The older drawings used a font that was called GraphMM_512 BD 523 NO, which was essentially Graphite Bold. To be more specific about what's happening. The reason I switched fonts was the Multiple Master font required Adobe Type Manager, which I wanted to get rid of. I'm actually using Windows XP Professional. So, I have all of this text which shows up plain rather than bold.ĭoes anyone know if there's some sort of workaround for this? Unfortunately, on the font mapping menu, you can't specify bold or italic, etc. Basically, this font works differently than the old one.when you want a bold version of the new font, you choose the base font name and use the style menu to choose bold. I have no problem using the new font, but when opening old drawings, I'm unable to map the old bold fonts to the new bold fonts. To be more specific, you didn't use the style menu to make the font bold, you just picked the bold font from the list.įor various reasons, I've switched to using an OpenType version of the same font. So, if you wanted a bold font, for instance, there was a separate font on the font list for that bold font. When using it, there were separate individual variations of the font for Bold, Light, Wide, etc. I have several drawings which I created using an Adobe Multiple Master font called GraphiteMM.
