  1. I don't know what the real name of this font. In all the font selection tabs in various programs it is labeled "Bold" but when I look in the folder for its real name the "Bold" font is not there. Does anyone know what the real name of this "Bold" font?

  2. First select the numbers with the selection tool, then right click on it and select "Create Outlines". Now keep the paths selected and go to Object>Path>Offset Path. Now pick how thick you want the outline to be by adjusting the "offset". Miter, bevel, and round changes whether the edges of the offset path are sharp, squared off, or rounded, and the miter limit changes how long and sharp the offset path would be: a good tip is to leave it fairly low around 4 or 5 so you don't have crazy pointy edges all over the place.

    It works,but i cant get the new path to be a different color. do you know how to do that?

    You'll have to either:

    1. Ungroup it, then group the layers that you want the same color.

    2. Use the direct selection tool to solely select the offset path.

    Thank You very much it works well

    New question: How do wrap or curve text, WITHOUT distorting the letter/numbers?

  4. Does anyone know how to connect to seperate paths? Maybe with a weld tool or something. Thanks

    Click on the two endpoints you want to join, and press Apple/CTRL "J". I can't remember what menu the join tool is actually under.

    Or, if you mean two shapes, Use the pathfinder tool. It'll be the first button on the left, I believe. Then, click the expand button, and it'll be one continuous shape.

    thank you i think that makes sense ill try

  5. Im trying to make a uniform for a fictional sports team and I want to layer the numbers so it looks like an outline. But when I stretch the number from a copy of its self the new number dimension don't fit inside or outside the old number. Does any one have help on overlapping numbers. I am using CS3.
