| Does anyone happen to have the PC version of the font "Suburban Light" that they could possibly email me? My boyfriend is making a decal from a design for a client but their font is the mac version. |

"Suburban" is a copyrighted font from Emigre: //www.myfonts.com/foundry/emigre/
They sell it for $39.00. Asking for someone to e-mail a copy to you is asking for software piracy. Not a good idea IMO.

If the decal needs only a single word, or something liek that, in Suburban light, something simple, have his client do the text in as large a size as possible and embed it in a PDF file (assuming the client has Acrobat); he can use that PDF file to derive the text in several ways, including (at worst) printing it out and scanning it. If it's large enough, he'll get good results scanning a printout and reducing it to fit. If he wants to fit the text to a curve, this would be problematic.

| That's a good idea. I'm not sure that it's a single word. I'll have to ask. I'll give him your idea. Thanks! |

| I'm not sure if he's making a car decel. I think he might be making a license plate for someone. |

Set the type on a Mac and convert the letterforms to paths, then save as a vector file (Illustrator or FreeHand EPS). You should be able to manipulate that on a PC.
If this is a regular a problem, you can convert Mac fonts to PC with TransType, but I don't know if that's kosher with the font license agreements. |

Why would you do that when you can just save it in PS and eliminate the scan? |

People,
The CLIENT has the mac, the boyfriend does not. If the designer/bf owned the mac and the mac version of the font, there wouldn't be a problem. If the client has Corel or Illustrator, there also isn't a problem; set the type, convert to curves, email the file, let the designer/bf work with that.
I'm operating on the assumption this isn't a viable option, or the deisgner/bf would have figured that out by now...
I used to have this problem all the time when I did graphic design for a silkscreen/t-shirt company.
