Thanks, Chris. Unfortunately, the Character Palette wasn't helpful
here.
I finally had to create the character in TextEdit, save as PDF, import
the PDF into Photoshop, make the background transparent, and save as a
transparent GIF.
What an incredible pain.
I also discovered that FontBook in OS X 10.4.2 is -- STILL--
incredibly flaky. I tried removing the Engraver fonts and then
reinstalling them via FontBook, and, well… try it yourself and see
what happens (you need to install more than one font to see what I'm
talking about).
Near as I can tell, there's some problem with the Engraver fonts not
being fully compatible with 10.4.
Sorry to hear that. I'm still in 10.3, latest version (even though I've
already installed 10.4 clean on another partition) because things keep
breaking on me in 10.4 and I don't have time to mess with it.
I discovered that the Shape Designer in 2005 is flaky, too. I had given
advice to someone a couple of days ago who found that the handles were
wildly displaced when he created a Shape Expression, and found out
today that my advice was off, and he is right, there are some HUGE bugs
in this. Not only are the handles off (almost 3 inches too low for me!)
but the View Percentage box in the Shape designer does nothing, the
View PErcentage box displays in odd fonts that change size, and if you
click on the handle by accident there is no way to deselect it other
than hitting OK or Cancel and starting over. I am in JazzFont, but
there is no excuse for this. Wacky, baby.
