I have contacted Gerber tech support and I really don't think this is much of a priority for them so I am about ready to learn another program for sign layout (like CorelDraw! or Illustrator) so I can have the tools that are available to the rest of the designer world available to me-Īnd then just import the vectors to Gerber for output. One of the programs I saw let you set your own line of type so you could see what each font would look like (i.e. The other thing these programs allow is to categorize all the fonts into user defined folders of like fonts with mjultiple categories available for each font.

This allows for maximum performance of the software and maximum font choices. I know that other "design programs" like CorelDraw! and Illustrator are able to use "font management" software which allows the user to "load" and "unload" fonts at will.

Plus (like most "Letterhead/ Sign Fanatics) we just love the flexibility of having lots of fonts to work with. We probably don't use more than half of those fonts in a given year. We are like most designers in that we "need" a lot of fonts "available" in order to reset type for customers logos. This worked OK except that we have about 500 fonts and it is rather slow coming over the network. By changing the GSP.ini file to direct the software to the "X" location when using or adding fonts, we could have everyone on the same page. When that started happening, we just decided among ourselves to make sure that no artist added a font to the system unless that same font was added to each of the other computers GSPFonts folder on the other 3 machines.Īnother solution was to move all the fonts to a single location on our peer-to-peer network. PLT on a different computer (different Omega station) would have the text set in an entirely different font than was originally used since the two different fonts had the same numbers.

To add to the confusion, it goes under the GSP font folder with a file name like "U1000029" (the "U" prefix tells me that we have "disjoined" the TTF font and run the "Font Designer" program to allow for full kerning of the font) Since the file "numbers" are assigned for each font set on individual computers- we have had a case where opening a. Since each machine has its own list of fonts in the GSP font folder, if one designer adds (or converts) a TTF using the Gerber TTF convertor, then that added font becomes a font on that machine only. Our "production" station operator goes to the archived file and cuts/prints as required by the work order. All of our "jobs" are logged on the server by file name and archived by date folder. We are networked and share files over the network. In our shop we have 4 Omega stations running. So the font style list gets pretty long if you add "Circus Fonts" as a style and about 15 more.
Gerber does not allow us to remove their "font styles" we can only add new font styles. GSP fonts than with the "System Tray" and the URW fonts provided on the Gerber Font CD? So far my experience with the "Font Manager" is that it is not very user friendly. Is there any better way to manage/ organize.
