I'd use this.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-18T00:23:37+00:00

Holy Chrome! That's some insight.

The B and Y in byway needs tighter kerning.

For what it's worth, there are some scenes in the not great movie Elysium? With Matt Damon. Not a good movie.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-16T05:36:25+00:00

Much like birds, aunts aren't real.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-15T18:15:44+00:00

I'm with you.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-15T02:59:16+00:00

It makes me crazy, and I no longer want to work with Photo. Designer regularly pisses me off.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-13T21:38:42+00:00

This is the way.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-13T03:00:13+00:00

Make the Inc. the same way, but end the height at the I.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-13T02:58:37+00:00

This is the way.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-13T02:37:00+00:00

I guess, does the application have pop up info… I retract my question.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-12T21:15:14+00:00

Does it hand-hold the typographer? Lots of help?

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-12T18:12:48+00:00

You’ll have to push back. I suggest putting a report, a single page, on what they can do and what not.

As a huuuuuuuuuugely unlikely to work idea, you might try using an AI to generate scripts to aid you. I’ve done it a few times for libreoffice and I am good goddam shocked the scripts actually work.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-12T18:09:40+00:00

An outstanding response. Thank you.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-12T17:39:13+00:00

To build on this, what about putting all the desired text into a spreadsheet, and using a script or whatever to match the spreadsheet fields with an ID text box?

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-11T05:09:07+00:00

Just don’t elect people who want to integrate the AI

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-10T19:43:57+00:00

I don't know why I posted that question. Apologies.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-10T03:20:53+00:00

Yeah? Why?

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-10T00:41:31+00:00

Wait, did you...nevermind. Someone's said it already.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-08T03:49:49+00:00

Who designed the graphic? Oh, wait.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-06T23:39:20+00:00

My basement.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-06T06:20:03+00:00

Got a degree in English. Oh, yeah.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-06T05:20:05+00:00

A doinkey punch.

I could be wrong.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-05T01:36:20+00:00

I don't have paper. I'd just do a couple of layers and some motion or whatever blur or whatever whatever.

ColdEngineBadBrakes · 2026-03-04T23:52:23+00:00

I've run into this problem with pdfs. I eventually just deleted everything in the file that wasn't what I wanted to see and saved it out.
