dolariThe interview, sadly, went very well. I answered everything quickly, thoroughly and succinctly. And sadly, with my record there, I'm a shoe-in. I'd never thought I'd feel bad to get a job.
however, I put in five more resumes today, 2 doing digital publishing, which is my newfound passion. Sorta. Kinda.
On that vein, I am a big doofus. After years and years of hard work, Adobe Distiller went kaput. Couldn't figureout what the heck it was going on about not being able to find any fonts, when THEY'RE RIGHT THERE. SO I uninstalled and reinstalled it a bunch of times, never got it working, and nearly declared defeat.
I was looking around and reading up on Adobe font problems, a found this neat little thing about embeding fonts in the EPS file to make up for Distiller deciding fonts don't exist on your system.
After several hours of wrangling, I found out all I really had to do was actually PRINT whatever I wanted to the desktop instead of hitting "Save as EPS." Both make EPS files, but PRINT embeds fonts.
Not only that, but Paint Shop Pro, my preferred editing program, reads thee embedded fonts no problem. AND keeps my original colors! HOT DAMN!
When I make a comic, I put it all together in QuarkXPress and save to an EPS file. If I open up that EPS file in Paint Shop Pro, none of the fonts show up. If I open that EPS file in Photoshop, all the colors go screwy (B&W comics get "washed out"). So what I was doing was opening up all the comics in Photoshop to get all the fonts, saving as a PSD file, which PAint Shop Pro reads just fine to do any last minute corrections and "color correction" (Angel's Blues were coming up purple, Shadow's Reds were coming up sepia).
Now I can just hit PRINT, and go right into Paint Shop Pro, and not worry about fonts dissapeareing or colors "fading."
The only drawback seems to be that fonts got "thinner." The latice work on the Cretino font I use for Closetspace has gotten REALLY light. But I think the richer colors/deeper blacks make up for it.
man, when Windows XP crashes, it crashes HARD.
