Euro Sans Exp Bold

Typegurl · April 24, 2013, 01:34:44 PM

Hi Does anyone have this font that actually works? Euro Sans Exp Bold.
I have the Postscript family loaded in Suitecase Fusion 4 and it does not work right.
Just a bunch of Euro symbols.
Does anyone else have this problem with this font?
I tried downloading some free versions, but I had the same problem. (and yes I know free fonts usually suck) but sometimes not!
Thanks

Yes I am on a Mac. You think it might work using Font Explorer?

just for the hell of it have you tried turning off font management completely and placing the fonts in a folder called "Document fonts"? Later versions of Indy will use internal font management when fonts are placed in that folder, and you may experience different (possibly worse, possibly better) results than using external font management?

not sure of what sort of working file you have so this may not apply.

The "Document fonts" folder must reside in the same directory as the InDesign document for this to work.

If copying it into your InDesign application's 'Fonts' folder doesn't do it, your only hope may be TansType. It's been eons since I used it, (we got the proper paid version years ago; I doubt it would work on our current OSX).
We've pretty much moved on to PDF workflow here. We used to use it for a particular (long-gone) customer who supplied PC Indy files, with PC fonts.

Thanks for the help. I will work on it later today when I have time. This is what the font is looking like.

Linotype FontExplorer might help

I am using CS6. Font looks bad in Illustrator too. So what is the deal with this font?
It does look all funky even when I go to buy it off of a website!!!
