Thank you for all the feedback! :thumbs: I only saw the first 3 posts before I left for Vegas, but that was enough for me to know I needed to bring my own cigars. Nevertheless, I still had to check a couple of cigar sources while I was out there (you know, just to satisfy my curiosity)...

Going to Vegas on last minute notice. I won't see anything that gets posted after 4:00 (eastern) today, so please post ASAP. :p Anyway, the summer issue of Smoke said the best bets for premium smokes are: the Davidoff shops in some of the casinos, and a place called "The Tinderbox" about 12...

You’re just jealous! ;) You know you would if you could. :p

A package just arrived from DaveWF. He had apparently tried to send me something a few months ago (to thank me for helping with his ad) but it was lost in the mail. This package was to replace the lost one. Thank You Dave, this was a very nice gesture. :)

Moki has been trying to bomb me since my very first day on the board. I however, have been a most elusive target; staying on the move, never sleeping in the same place twice, and even employing body doubles. :D But that all came to an end today, he finally got me! And what a bomb it was...

I'm not 100% sure what you mean. But since I don't want to pick another fight (and should have never picked the present one :( ). OK :thumbs:

OK OK Sometimes a warning, but not always. Don't take my word for it, I linked to an article in my above post. Depends on the designer's relationship with the printer. But, typically if both are experienced and have worked together previously, then it's native app and non-embed all the way...

You are countering my points with highly sophisticated and very thoughtful explanations but in essence you just keep saying “No you are wrong”. There is nothing wrong with your explanations but they are not the norm in the real world. Yes, if you as a retail customer want something printed...

Ok, I said I wouldn’t post anymore, but I meant I wouldn’t take offensive or defensive positions. This is explanatory only. When I say Fonts aren’t embedded, it may sound like I’m stating an absolute, but that is not the case. It is no different from saying that such-and-such a cigar is the...

This is what I’m talking about. All theory and no practice. The technology to embed fonts is perfect and works well in a magazine article (usually ghost written by the product developer). But in practice, it simply is not there yet. News flash there’s also no such thing as a commercial quality...

You have done a far better job of exposing and embarrassed yourself than I ever could. Where to start? Well, I don't have a lot of time so I'll take some random pot shots. Fonts are not "embedded" you sound like a hack for suggesting so. You don't have a clue as to real world design and...

Hi there, me again. No I'm not being a smart ass, and I know this is a bit of a thread jack, but. . . What fonts did you design? Any chance I've got a few in my collection? It would be neat to say I knew the designer. If not, what do you have that's uncommon and interesting? Always looking...

Well, I typed a long replay, and I let you have it with both barrels, but then I clicked delete. Look, I appreciate that you have some experience in the industry. But, you need to take my word for it that things no longer work the way they once did. As a computer expert, you should realize...

1. You tried it and it didn’t work? WOW what a surprise. By your reasoning, if I (a non-programmer) fail to write a computer game, then it simply cannot be done. Look, you’re not a pro, therefore you have neither the skills nor the tools required to successfully manipulate the typestyle. Also...

That's it? That's your response? :lookup: I inform you that all they did was tweak the horizontal-scale, and your response is "no they did more than that". ??? Where do we go from here? I guess I can yell "did not" and you can yell "did too" untill my post count reaches a respectable size...

Sorry Moki, but you couldn't be more wrong on this one. I've been typesetting and designing far longer than you've been reading about it. :p The logo is a run-of-the-mill type face (in this case a demi version of Arial). See for yourself: Any tweaking (as you put it) was to the...

I was just giving you a hard time. I figured the “sharing” part was a significant motivator. Sharing is your M.O. from sharing your photos and reviews on CP, to your prolific high-end bombing runs. Hell, even your company is based on share-ware. Thanks for sharing :thumbs:

Actually, font substitution is quite common. Indeed, it’s a lot more common than some of the other printing inconsistencies that might occur. The reason for this is that everyone (even the Cubans I would presume) has begun (or in many cases completed) the migration from camera-ready art (AKA...

That’s just TFF! :D :sign: :D Moki, you are priceless man! You undertook all that effort (scanning, photo-shopping, and then composing an opaque image) when all you had to do was lay one label on top of the other and then hold the two up against a bright light. Hysterical! What’s next? Are...
