Re: Custom fonts with a standalone

I tried adding 'globally' to the end of the command but this didn't resolve the issue. Font still doesn't display correctly.

I will try converting the OpenType to a TrueType and see if that works.

Best regards,
Jon

Re: Custom fonts with a standalone

Hmmmm. Maybe I spoke too fast. After doing everything, what I get for the Windows standalone is the .exe along with an empty 'Externals' folder the font file and when I open the app, the font doesn't display correctly.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,
Jon

Re: Resize rotated image?

Hi Craig,

I am stumped. If I remove the angle command line, the script works perfectly but with the angle command in place, the image size is not reduced in size nor is it repositioned as instructed.

Best regards,
