Dear Judy

Over the past years you've been a source of tips and tricks that no one can
match. Also an inspiration to keep the FH spirit alive for as long as possible.
Everyone around me has switched to Ai but I keep resisting, even though they
sometimes mock me. Relentlessly, I keep on holding on to the software I know,
trust and love the most. I have been using it for more than 20 years and I am
not about to let go. Thanks for the comfort of knowing that I am not alone.

This past weekend I took the plunge (for the second time) and installed
Leopard 10.5.2 I was expecting all kinds of trouble with printing from FH but
turns out all is working perfectly. I can print to my Brother laser printer,
to my Epson R1800 printer (with the "special 10.5 driver from Epson, not the
pre-loaded one from Apple) I can also print to PDF with the 8.1.2 Acrobat
upgrade. No problems with any fonts. And I've tried with lots of them. So the
question is: Some people can and some can't print fonts? Am I doing something
others aren't? Or what's going on?

I just knew that my trusted FH wouldn't let me down.

Hi folks-

This is my first time here.

I was a big supporter of Freehand. Started with FH3 and stayed till the end.
As the years went by I received way more files from my clients in Illustrator
than FreeHand and finally moved away from FH. Since Adobe gobbled up Macromedia
which had squashed Aldus I found my love fading from lack of support from an
industry that dose not care about us. I wish Adobe would take all the better
parts of FH and splice them into Illustrator "Freeankenillustratorstein", but
that does not look like it's going to happen. I spoke to several Adobe tech
people at Mac World over the years since the takeover and they act like robots
that have been programed with punch cards and only pat answers about their
product and the future of the software. They either don't care or have a clue.
I used to love adding different gradients and dot patterns and sizes to
different colors in my image and print out the separations for screenprinting.
Needless to say I can't even get close to that now. Type on a circle, pasting
inside, don't get me started. If folks @ Adobe read this forum please take note
( I know you won't).

Anyway.... The reason for my post is to find out if anyone here can help me
with a fairly common problem I can't seem to solve. I have some ancient FH3
files that I saved on CD years ago and would like to access them. Go figure,
isn't that what archiving is all about. The problem is the files were not saved
with file extensions and my G5 running Leopard sees them as Unix executable
files now and nothing will open them. I've tried adding extensions to the end
of the file names such as .fh , .fh3, .fh5, .mx, .ai, .jpg. psp, .tif, pdf and
tried opening them up in MX, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat. But nothing
has worked. Am I just S.O.L. or is my fix digging up an old computer and
running an old system on it. If the latter is the case, how can I store them so
I may be able to run them on a current system. I've checked other forums, like
http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=29465, but they are all old and
following their advise didn't work.

Peace to all.

Here's your answer.

PLS hel me!!! I work for a printing co. and i seem to land up with the same
problem, i used photoshop cs3 to extract a photo and saved it as a psd with a
transparent background, when i imported the file into freehand the photo has a
white bachground/block, i'm trying to put it on a business card. the business
card has it's own background but the photo/psd i imported has tha white
background and it completely destroys the card. how would i go about importing
the pic only without the extra white background. pls help. Tankx.

Read up on Clipping Paths in Photoshop or Freehand. I recommend making
them in Photoshop and then importing as an EPS into Freehand.

Aww, thanks.

I'm glad to know others share my enthusiasm for drawing in FreeHand.

The missing fonts problems seems to be happening only when printing to
*Postscript* printers. One workaround is to print to a Postscript file
formatted for the printer, and then send the PS file to the printer.
