The initial files had been posted for quite some time in the OP of Can the latest Mac Adobe Illustrator read in Windows Adobe Illustrator CS2 "ai-format" files? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.sys.mac.apps/xiJFl-xbD1o The latest batch was updated where this is the most recent post: Here are the updated files from Adobe Illustrator in CS2 on Windows. 0. With the Roadgeek 2005 Series B font set already installed into the system font directory on windows... http://www.fontspace.com/michael-d-adams/roadgeek-2005 https://www119.zippyshare.com/v/333rxp7d/file.html OK. Got it, installed it, validated it. 1. Starting with signs.pptx from MS Office 2007 on Windows which has the entire font set embedded but which only uses "Roadgeek 2005 Series B" fonts. https://www119.zippyshare.com/v/EqdGVdCQ/file.html 2. I saved that as PDF using the official Microsoft Office Save-as-PDF plugin, with embedded fonts saved into the PDF as signs.pdf. https://www119.zippyshare.com/v/Zf65nNnd/file.html 3. I opened that PDF with Adobe Illustrator 12.0 from CS2 on Windows, which popped up a form saying: - Illustrator PDF: Warnings - The document contains PDF objects that have been reinterpreted: - The font Roadgeek#202005#20Series#20B is missing. (sic) - Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font. (sic) - I substituted the RoadGeek font So you substitute one RoadGeek font for another, or did PowerPoint **** up the embedding? 4. I then selected all with control a, and then pressed AI: Type Font (I selected "Roadgeek 2005 Series B" using the dumbest GUI there could possibly be for a font selection, which is to endlessly scroll, manually, since typing "R" doesn't work and AI is too stupid to have a scroll bar - but no big deal, eventually it scrolled to the Roadgeek 2005 Series B font to then save as "signs_with_font_substituted.ai". OK. I did it with the find/change dialog that came up in AI CC 2018. Not my problem if you use bad software. Also not a Mac problem. But I did it, and I noted that some of the text in the file was already converted to paths before it was imported. All this "CURB ‘UR" (where you used the wrong character for the apostrophe). "PUPPY" ...was already converted to paths. So how did that happen? Magic? Your story starts to fall apart. https://www119.zippyshare.com/v/Dm3XIJJm/file.html And that file too shows the "magical" text which converted itself to paths... 5. I then pressed control+a and then control+shift+o to create outlines and saved that ai file as "signs_with_outlines.ai" https://www119.zippyshare.com/v/JGit6LU6/file.html Where you stupidly added a stroke to the type you converted to totally **** up the letter forms... 6 And then I chose EPS to save as "signs_with_outlines.eps" https://www119.zippyshare.com/v/Vj43bvg2/file.html 7. And then I saved as SVG as "signs_with_outlines.svg". https://www119.zippyshare.com/v/KMSPgaup/file.html When the #4 signs_with_outlines.ai is read into a current Mac Adobe AI at the printers, the outlines are all screwed up. Looks like operator error to me. I believe that you have just brought this tedious thread to a screeching halt. Good work. -- Regards, Savageduck |
