dhreilly Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I just got a trophy with all capitals and the initials are larger than the rest of the letters. Is this a font that anyone can recognise or have they resized the letters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 If it is a single line font, this comes as standard in U-Marq software, imaginatively called Single line caps. Paul_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhreilly Posted March 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 what font is it in vistool 5.1. I cant seem to find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 It won't be in Vistool 5....It had limited fonts..........If you want to PM the job over I'll convert it into an sdr file so you can use it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhreilly Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Now that I have found out that that font is not in vistool 5.1, surely I cant rely on people to convert the jobs for me as I have 5 or 6 jobs to do in this font and it seems to be the preferred font being used by previous engravers on annuals in my area. Is there anyway of buying the font or downloading it to be used in vistool 5.1. Any advice would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhreilly Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 How much does it cost. Can I get a program to convert it. Or can I download or buy the font Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Whilst you can import true type fonts into vistool (current versions - I can't remember as far back as version 5!), you're unlikely to be able to download a suitable single line font to use. You haven't said which machine you're using, but the full current version of the software costs between £595 & 950, depending on machine. Compared to version 5, v8 is an entirely different proposition. Having said that, it's still immediately familiar, everything you're used to is still there & works in the same way, but there have been so many extras added & details changed as the software was developed, refined & improved that you'll wonder why you didn't upgrade sooner. https://www.u-marq.com/software-downloads.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Cobbler Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Where is the tool on a Vistool 8? I've often thought it would be useful to have one, but didn't know there was already one there. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 If you "edit text" (Alt+S) there is an A in the top right corner of the box, click it and it changes between caps, small case etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it work OK with existing dongle D. Mines working OK. Don't want to mess it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Cobbler Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 No. Never seen an A in that position before. I'm wondering if you've got some different options ticked in your tool options box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 But is it safe? And did you upgrade it from an earlier version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Cobbler Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I've just been on the u-marq forum to ask about it. I await their reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 It's a free download with restrictions but I think you just plug in your dongle and run as administrator and it is then un-restricted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
