Illy is particularly particular about fonts.
You may fob some others to use low standard fonts, but she will just ignore them.
Which font(s)?

Thanks

It may very well. I wonder whether you can get your money back if it fails to convince Illy (who can hopefully point at the free one and the purchased one and say: "that's not a font. This is a font.").

Thanks for all your help over the last week or so The font Miriam is very close to Helvetica Neue so I stopped trying to get Illy to recognise it and used Helvetica.

Steve Fairbairn May 31, 2014 6:09 PM (in response to broomeGirl)If your font is indeed damaged you can almost certainly repair it by saving it in another format (f.x. .otf) using FontLab Studio or similar. Such a job would only take a very few minutes.

broomeGirl May 31, 2014 8:58 PM (in response to Steve Fairbairn)Hi Steve, thanks for your input but at over $600 .. I would have to have a lot of broken fonts to invest in it, although it does sound pretty awesome. I thought that Macs font book would say if the font was damaged but maybe not.

Steve Fairbairn Jun 1, 2014 1:46 AM (in response to broomeGirl)See your point about the $600 but I sometimes have to add Icelandic characters (Þþ, Ðð, Ýý etc.) to fonts, so having a font editor is a must up here. It’s also nice to be able to tweak fonts when you see that certain characters are badly drawn.
