Charter, why do you treat your customers like cows?

As someone who works at home, I am always aware of what happens on my property and if someone is in my front yard. On January 4th, 12:40pm my neighbor comes knocking on my door furiously saying that I need to deny “a man” access to my property.

UrbanFonts.com Creates Community for Font Fanatics

(PRWEB) February 6, 2007

To be truly creative, Web sites or publications need a font selection to match their design. Yet, finding just the right font on a PC or Mac can sometimes be difficult. Now www.UrbanFonts.com provides a ready source to download fonts for free as well as commercial fonts for users of either both Macs and Windows PCs. And the special touches, like articles, a font blog and a message board, mean users don’t have to just stop by and stock up on fonts. Rather, users can learn about fonts and participate in an online community dedicated to the art and craft of typography.

Of course fonts may not be as exciting or as sexy as the latest in Flash technology, but they can be just as vital to the success of your web design, if not more so, said a company spokesperson. Without the right fonts in place, even the best looking web site can be difficult to navigate and difficult for customers to use.

Urbanfonts.com houses thousands of free fonts and free dingbats in a variety of categories, grouped by use, alphabetically, by author and by popularity. There’s even a list of UrbanFonts favorite fonts. Fonts can be displayed with custom colors and custom text to ensure the font would be suitable in a project before downloading and installing it. Some are serif fonts, some are fun and stylish and still others are in the style of foreign languages. All contribute to implementing successful design strategies. The dingbat section contains symbols to fit a wide variety of needs, from transportation and flowers to smilies and sports.

UrbanFonts contains a series of Web 2.0 enhancements making the site more than just a font catalog. The blog section contains articles with a whole series of ideas for the best way to deploy fonts in a design, including the ideal number to use and the best way to choose a correct font. The blog links to current topics on typography around the web. And the discussion forum lets readers ask questions and share their experiences using and designing fonts. All pages can be bookmarked using popular social bookmarking services.

Reinvigorate design and document design and visit UrbanFonts today.

Veenix’s Visual Font Management System Adds Many New Features

(PRWEB) August 2, 2005

Veenix Software, the developer of “Veenix Font Tools” and “Veenix Design & Type Tools” for Macintosh, announced today the addition of several new features to its highly acclaimed Visual Font Management System, a robust and innovative, yet easy-to-use WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) font organizing, activating, viewing and printing system for both installed and uninstalled fonts. The Visual Font Management System is included in the company’s font related products, “Veenix Font Tools” and “Veenix Design & Type Tools”, and the new features outlined below apply to both software titles.

New Features of the Visual Font Management System:

New color coded font-type icons in the Font List allow the user to quickly identify whether a font is TrueType, PostScript, a DFont, or an OpenType font.

Font path information of the physical font file is now displayed in the “Display Area” of the Font List window. Users can “toggle” between showing the path information for a selected font and the general info for the font.

New font categorizing pop-up menus in the Font List window allow users to quickly categorize fonts directly from the Font List window. Users simply click on a font in the list and then select appropriate categories from the pop-ups. “This is absolutely one of the fastest ways to categorize your fonts,” says Veenix president Deb Lake. “We identified and categorized over 600 image fonts from a list of approximately 5000 fonts in about 20 minutes. I don’t think it gets much faster or easier than that.”

A new “Options” menu in the Font List window allows users to perform the following font actions: add/remove fonts to/from the database, activate/deactivate/install fonts, reveal fonts in the Finder, edit font categories, print specimen sheets and more.

Users can also now quickly activate or deactivate any font by clicking on the status indicator icon next to font name in the Font List window.

Veenix’s Visual Font Management system is compatible with OS 10.4 (Tiger) and has proven one of the most reliable tools for activating, deactivating and installing fonts on the Mac platform. The innovative font sampling, font comparison and Type Specimen Book printing features of the system have garnered rave reviews from graphics professionals and creative Mac users.

Veenix Font Tools retails for $ 39.95-US and is suitable for anyone who uses fonts on a Mac. Veenix Design & Type Tools retails for $ 49.95-US and offers all the features of Veenix Font Tools plus 15 additional design and production tools. Demo versions, online sales and more information about “Veenix Font Tools” and “Veenix Design & Type Tools” can be found at http://www.veenix.com.
