RML Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 After 5 years and 3 or 4 hard drives and a change in operating system, a client now wants to use a particular design (Type critical) in their logo updates. On an old PC, I updated the original Designer, and placed the jpeg of the design hoping it would possibly ungroup and provide the name of the font. It did not. Tried the Chrome font ID extension, didn't work either. The font is not in the font list on the old PC. I can provide a snapshot of the design on my work desktop when I gat to the office. Thank you for any suggestions, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask your client if they have a PDF or even an EPS of their Logo.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
