    Trouble with Font Weight

    andrewmcgibbon Community Member

      My art director has created the master artwork for our website.  I have succesfully cut these up in photoshop and and implemented them on our site.  Now that I am going back to make new buttons or modifications to existing buttons, when I do an export, the font appears to be coming out at a much lighter weight even though I have confirmed with my art director that we are using the same weight.

       

      The other major difference is that he is creating these on a mac and I am modifying them on a PC.  Can anyone think what else might cause this?

       

      Any help would be most appreciated.

      Follow-up: When I try and open this document in Fireworks it is not recognizing the font style from photoshop.  It is saying the font does not exist.  It almost seems like this is a interoperability problem between photoshop and fireworks yet Fireworks is the one not seeing the other fonts.

          What font are you using? Are you using any of PS' Unicode features for glyph substitution? Faux font styles and decorations? Glyph scaling? Or a specific antialiasing method that may not be available in FW? Cross-platform issues are of course possible, but rare. Often they are more related to different versions of the same font being used or font managers changing assignemnts or something like that...

            The font I am using is Verlag Text.  In Photoshop you have the option of adding a style if that font exists.  I am using Verlag Text - Book Ital.  It is the 2nd part of this font that seems to be mucking up Fireworks and making it so it is not recognized by Fireworks even though the font is installed on the machine.
