  1. but in this case WTF would have you believe that was Caslon, upon which Fell Type is based. But it would be wrong. You can tell because of the irregularity of the capital S and W, and the lack of a ball terminal on the lowercase f's descender. H&F-J built all of the Historical Allsorts family with flaws and janky curves in it intentionally to give it a handcrafted look. Digital versions of Caslon don't have these irregularities.

    And besides, WTF doesn't sell Hoefler & Frere-Jones fonts, so that wouldn't even be in their database. So is it What the Font or do I have the eye? You tell me ^_^

  2. @ Quillz: sounds to me like what you were trying to offset was knocked out and only appeared solid. You basically did the right thing - outlining the stroke and moving it to the back of your shape. Its best to work with these sort of things ungrouped. You may want to look in the outline preview mode too to see what paths are actually there.

    @ UniJ: Best way to create a "frosted" look in Illy is to use a combination of gradient fills and transparency blends and a lot of time and custom-done effort. You're not really going to find a fill pattern that looks convincing. Another option would be to find a picture of ice, increase the brightness/contrast in photoshop, livetrace it, then apply it as a texture overlay.

  3. i've found better luck using the save for web function than the export function, particularly where raster formats and transparency is involved. If you need a high res file (150dpi or higher) the best way is to open your file in photoshop and save from there.
